Community
Auburn boasts all the trappings of a bustling, progressive city mixed with all the allure of a charming college town – a quaint, quirky downtown, award-winning restaurants and fantastic shopping, scenic parks, quiet neighborhoods and top-rated schools. These qualities alone, however, do not make a community. Newcomers and natives alike sense a spirit in Auburn that’s difficult to articulate but impossible to ignore. That spirit is what makes Auburn “home” to so many – students who decided to stay and raise families here, natives who would never think of leaving and newcomers who happened upon our town and fell in love.
