Denver - Lowry Field

Is the Lowry Field Neighborhood a Good Place to Live:

 

Location and Getting Around: East Denver neighborhood. Roughly bordered by Quebec to the west, Dayton to the east, 11th to the north, and Alameda to the south.

Housing Options: 246 residences sold in 2021. 85 of them were single family homes. Lowry Air Force Base formally closed in 1994 as part of the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1988. With removal of Air Force facilities, developers had a blank slate to work from in the mid-90s. Because of this, the median home in Lowry is decades newer (median build date of 2004) than surrounding neighborhoods - Windsor 1978, East Colfax 1948, Hilltop 1954, etc. While homes in specific subdivisions on the northwest and east side of Lowry have that early-2000s feel, those within the Boulevard One development have a much more modern feel whether it be multi-story condo, townhome, or house on smallish lot.

Shopping and Entertainment: Hangar 2. Lowry Town Center. Boulevard One. All are mentioned as places to go within Lowry. Residents aren’t that far of a drive away from the upscale shopping and dining options offered by Cherry Creek Shopping District a few minutes to the west. The Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum is a top attraction of Lowry, capitalizing on its past life as an Air Force base.

Parks and Rec: Crescent Park. Lowry Sports Complex. Great Lawn Park. Common Ground Golf Course. Lowry Dog Park. Plus others. With over 800 acres of parks and trails, Lowry is a good place to be outside.

Land Use: As a blank slate for developers after the closure of Lowry Air Force Base in 1994, yet surrounded by established neighborhoods, the Lowry neighborhood has had the vision and economics to be a relatively well done mixed use development. While residents most likely venture outside the neighborhood each day for work, within the neighborhood boundaries is the housing, retail, restaurants, parks and open space that one would expect from a well executed mixed-use development.
