The city of Aranjuez is governed by a single municipal authority, which, for convenience divides into the several administrative districts which in turn may contain residential estates (''urbanizaciones):
* Centro, includes the royal sites, the bullring and the historic town center, with central market and shopping
* Vergel – Olivas,
* Polígono de Las Aves, to the west near the railway station, near Pirelli & Jardín Narváez
* Nuevo Aranjuez, to the south, on higher ground
* Foso – Moreras associated with Garden City of Agfa, and ambitious, but as yet incomplete project
* Urbanización Mirador de Aranjuez A vast, mostly failed (turn of the 20th–21st century) house-building project on a steep southerly slope overlooking the old town.
* La Montaña – new (turn of the 20th–21st century) district of about 5000 homes (Many 'toxic assets' still vacant) about {{convert|3|km|mi|abbr=on}} north of the town. It has the district Hospital-Tajo, a 4-star Hotel-Barcelo with spa and 18-hole golf-course, Gran-Casino, La Finca event venue, a vast commercial centre (Plaza) and car-park which was built but never opened, and a business campus Centro Empresial which contains the small-business support unit APME, a substantial supermarket and a few small businesses. Various shops are to be found elsewhere about the ''barrio''. The residents Association is known as Asociación de Vecinos del Barrio de la Montaña or AVBM.
* Cortijo de San Isidro, a small residential settlement around a former royal hunting lodge, a volunteer sub-council represents residents interests.
