A Historic Village With Older Homes

Excavation contractors in East Aurora work in a village whose history is visible on every street. The Millard Fillmore House (built 1825), the Elbert Hubbard Museum and the Roycroft Campus are on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Roycroft Campus became a National Historic Landmark in 1986. The village covers 2.52 square miles.

Cazenovia Creek

The East Branch of Cazenovia Creek flows through the south part of the village, and Knox Farm State Park covers 633 acres on its northwest edge. Lots near the creek have high groundwater and floodplain limits.

Settled housing

The population grew from 1,109 in 1880 to 7,033 in 1970 and was 5,998 in 2020. Most housing was in place before the 1970s, and the 2020 homeowner vacancy rate was just 0.8 percent across 2,701 housing units. Owners stay and improve: laterals, drainage, garages and additions.

Planning an East Aurora job

East Aurora's older homes sit on established lots with mature trees, porches and detached garages. Access is through driveways, and we protect trees and walks along the way. Main Street businesses and village traffic affect staging.

Old foundations

With most housing predating the 1970s, stone and block foundations are common. Additions and laterals beside them are dug in sections and backfilled promptly.

Knox Farm edge

Homes near Knox Farm State Park border open, protected land. Drainage from those lots needs to avoid sending water or sediment into the park.
