Hills of St. Andrew is Aurora's most prestigious residential community. Located in the southeast quadrant of town, this executive neighbourhood is defined by large custom-built homes, mature tree canopies, generous lot sizes, and the kind of quiet that only comes from a low-turnover community where people choose to stay. If you are searching for Hills of St. Andrew homes for sale, you are looking at Aurora luxury real estate at its most established.
The Hills of St. Andrew sits on elevated terrain in southeast Aurora, bounded by St. John's Sideroad to the north and Leslie Street to the east. It is one of the few communities in York Region where the housing stock, lot sizes, and streetscape have remained consistently premium for decades.
The neighbourhood takes its name from St. Andrew's College, the respected independent school located directly within its boundaries. The college's campus, with its athletic facilities, heritage buildings, and extensive green space, adds a distinctive character to the area that few residential communities can match.
Development in Hills of St. Andrew happened in phases across the 1980s and 1990s, with significant custom infill continuing into the 2000s. The result is a neighbourhood that feels complete and settled, not transitional. Streets are quiet. Traffic is local. The community identity is established and protective of its character.
This is Aurora's executive tier. The housing stock here is defined by scale, quality, and custom design rather than production building.
Inventory in Hills of St. Andrew is consistently low. When a well-positioned property comes to market, buyer response is strong. This is not a neighbourhood where homes sit. The combination of limited supply and sustained executive-level demand creates a resilient pricing environment.
The proximity to St. Andrew's College is a significant driver of buyer demand. Families who want both private and public school access within walking distance have very limited options in York Region. Hills of St. Andrew delivers both.
The buyer profile here is consistent: professionals and executives relocating from Toronto, move-up buyers from other Aurora communities, and GTA buyers seeking more space without leaving the 905 premium tier.
What they are paying for is irreplicable in new construction. The lot sizes do not exist in new developments. The tree canopy takes decades to grow. The privacy, the school access, and the prestige address cannot be manufactured, they have to be earned over time. Hills of St. Andrew has earned them.
For sellers, this neighbourhood commands patient, strategic marketing. The buyer pool is smaller but more serious, and the right presentation and pricing approach consistently produces strong results.
