Is Aurora a Strong Short-Term Rental Market?
Aurora performs well as a short-term rental market due to its location, accessibility, and broad guest appeal. Demand is driven less by tourism alone and more by a steady mix of business travelers, medical visitors, airport travelers, families, and longer-stay guests.
Well-managed properties in Aurora benefit from:
-
Proximity to Denver International Airport and major highways
-
Strong demand from medical professionals, visiting families, and corporate travelers
-
More flexible property types and price points than central Denver neighborhoods
-
Consistent year-round bookings rather than reliance on a single season
Aurora is not a luxury-driven STR market. Success here depends on accurate pricing, operational efficiency, and targeting the right guest profiles rather than relying on premium nightly rates alone.
