Full cost breakdown

How much does it really cost to move to Aurora, CO?

Aurora, the large and diverse suburb on Denver's east side, tends to price a notch below the urban core while still drawing full Front Range demand. A local 2-bedroom move usually falls between $2,225-$2,675, and a long-distance 2-bedroom runs about $4,200-$5,025. Smaller households see local 1-bedroom jobs near $1,675-$2,000. With Denver International Airport and Buckley Space Force Base close by, we'll match you with a licensed Colorado carrier that knows the area's routes and gate access.

What drives your moving cost

Aurora's spread-out, lower-density layout can actually help: driveway parking and single-level homes keep local crew hours down versus downtown high-rises. Local moves bill by the hour, so an easy load-out saves money, while long-distance quotes ride on weight and mileage. Proximity to DIA and Buckley means carriers here handle plenty of arrivals and departures, including base access logistics that can add a step to move-day timing.

What else to budget for in Colorado

  • Military PCS: Near Buckley Space Force Base, carriers routinely handle permanent-change-of-station timelines and base gate access, so flag any PCS orders when you request quotes.
  • More affordable: Aurora's suburban housing and driveway access often mean shorter crew hours than a downtown Denver load, trimming local costs.
  • Peak vs winter: Summer is peak season and books fast; a winter date can save money but risks snow and ice delays on move day.
  • Flat 4.4% tax: Colorado applies a flat 4.4% state income tax, a small but real factor when you plan a relocation budget.
  • Altitude factor: At Front Range elevation, crews work harder on stairs and long carries, which can add hours to an hourly local job.
