LOL WAYNE'S WORLD!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

I live about 7 miles from North Aurora.  

There are good parts and bad parts. Most are pretty decent.

The Racial makeup is pretty even between whites/blacks/hispanic, but can be very dominant one way or the other depending on where in N. Aurora you are.

Schools are ok,  Aurora East is not the greatest.  

Naperville or Batavia are much better.  

Answer 4

Hi, I lived in North Aurora for a while,  I also do construction and some house flipping out in North Aurora. North Aurora is almost more Oswego, St Charles, Batavia than it is Aurora. Aurora has some bad areas, North Aurora isn't bad at all. It's no Naperville, Lisle, or Oakbrook if your at all familiar with those areas but its a niec safe plaec with affordable housing.

As for racial make-up I would say it's majority white probably a hispanic populationa and a little black. Again its much more diverse than a Naperville or Oakbrook. Schools all around in this area are prettty good.If your buying a home I would try to find something close to I-88. North Aurora is a bit of a ride from the city, its out there, but if you can jump right on 88 its not bad at all. The bad things about living in the burbs is being far from the expressway, from my house it can take 35 min to get to 88 however once on 88 im in the city in 20 minutes
