Community overview
Rural Aurora is one of the communities TRREB (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board) defines within York Region – Aurora, located in the northeast corner of Aurora. Rural Aurora is in the northeast corner of Aurora, up to the northern town limit and out to Highway 404, meeting Bayview Northeast on the west and south along an irregular line. Despite the name, it includes residential neighbourhoods: YRDSB's Whispering Pines P.S. (377 Hartwell Way) is in the community, and TRREB's Q2 2026 report shows 37 sales here. Neighbourhood names you will see on maps include St. John's Forest and The Arbors (names from OpenStreetMap labels, for orientation only).

Schools
| School | Board | Grades | Address |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whispering Pines P.S. | York Region District School Board (YRDSB, public) | JK–8 | 377 Hartwell Way |
Checking YCDSB's Aurora school list, there is no YCDSB school inside this community; use the YCDSB school locator to find the designated Catholic school.
School boundaries are set by street address and may be adjusted temporarily as enrolment grows; a school being inside the community does not mean every address is in its boundary. Please confirm with the YRDSB school locator and the YCDSB school locator. School names and grades are from the YRDSB and YCDSB Aurora school lists, with locations checked by address; schools too close to a community boundary to place with confidence are not listed. This page does not rank schools.
Parks and recreation
- Edward Coltham Park: one of six splash pad parks listed by the Town of Aurora, at 95 William Graham Drive (the Town currently shows splash pads closed until 2027). (Town of Aurora page)
- Trent Park: one of six splash pad parks listed by the Town of Aurora, at 140 Thomas Phillips Drive (the Town currently shows splash pads closed until 2027). (Town of Aurora page)
- Jean Marie Iacovetta Parkette
- John Abel Park
Park names and locations are per OpenStreetMap, listing only parks clearly inside this community; where a park or facility has a description, it comes from the matching Town of Aurora web page. Check the Town's latest notices for hours and amenities.
Getting around
- Viva Blue: runs on Yonge Street to the west of the community, from Newmarket Terminal south via Richmond Hill Centre to the Finch GO Bus Terminal (Finch subway). No Viva rapid route runs through this community.
- Driving: Highway 404 is to the east.
The Viva Blue route and stop names are from YRT's Viva Blue route map; the Aurora GO station location is per OpenStreetMap. Schedules and routes change often, so check the latest YRT and GO Transit timetables, and use YRT's trip planner for local bus routes in the community.
Shopping and daily life
Aurora's larger supermarkets are mostly around Bayview Avenue and Wellington Street East (e.g. Real Canadian Superstore, Longo's) and around Yonge Street and Henderson Drive (e.g. Metro). Per OpenStreetMap; stores can change.
Housing types
(To be added: the mix of existing home types will be written once public census data that maps cleanly to this community's boundary is available. Statistics Canada's 2021 Census is published by dissemination area and census tract, which do not line up with TRREB's Rural Aurora market boundary, so this page does not estimate the housing stock.) The by-type figures in "Recent sales and home prices" below are sales in that quarter, not the housing stock.
Recent sales and home prices
This section shows two kinds of data published by TRREB; please read them separately. The first is actual sales summarized in the quarterly community report. The second is the monthly MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) benchmark price, which describes a typical home. The quarterly report and the HPI are measured differently and cannot be added together. Where there are two or fewer sales, TRREB does not publish some price measures. These figures are for reference only and are not a guarantee of the value of any property.
This page does not show current listings or individual sale records. For recent sales on a particular street or home type, or a value estimate for your home, please contact Ming.

Source: the Rural Aurora by-type page of the same TRREB Q2 2026 Aurora community report. Of the 37 sales this quarter, 20 were detached homes. By-type average and median prices are taken from the chart labels in thousands (e.g. $1,692K), not exact to the dollar; sales and new listings are whole numbers from the charts. For home types with two or fewer sales, or none, prices and some ratios are not published per the report's convention and are shown as "—".
Compared with Aurora (Q2 2026, all home types)
All community figures below are taken directly from the summary table of the same quarterly report. Rural Aurora's average price this quarter was $1,324,421 and its median price $1,328,000; among the 10 communities in the table with price figures, it ranked number 4 by average price and number 4 by median price (highest first). The combined row adds up the rows that have figures for sales, dollar volume, new listings and active listings; the combined average is combined dollar volume ÷ combined sales, not a town-wide average published separately by TRREB. Median price, sold/list price and days on market cannot be summed from community figures, so the combined row omits them. The community's average price is $129,795 above the combined average.

MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) benchmark prices
TRREB's October 2026 HPI public tables include Aurora's town-wide composite and by-type benchmark prices, but no separate row for Rural Aurora, so this page lists only the town-wide figures and does not make up a community-level benchmark.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aurora (town) | Composite | $1,096,900 | 318.1 | -7.37% |
