Why Lowry Is One of Denver's Best Master-Planned Urban Communities today
Lowry occupies a specific and genuinely unusual position in the Denver residential market. The former Lowry Air Force Base, closed in 1994 and subsequently redeveloped as one of the country's most successful base conversion projects, offers a master-planned residential community with urban Denver access that is unlike any other neighborhood in the city.
Lowry's development on the former base footprint created a community with wide streets, abundant green space, diverse housing stock from townhomes to single-family to pockets of multi-family, and a walkable town center with retail and dining, all within an established close-in Denver location east of Cherry Creek and west of Aurora.
The Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, housed in former base hangar buildings, anchors Lowry's community identity with a cultural institution that gives the neighborhood a specific and memorable character. The museum's aircraft collection and educational programming create a community anchor that few residential neighborhoods of comparable size can claim.
The Current Market
Lowry's price range reflects its close-in Denver location and the diversity of its housing stock: townhomes and smaller attached product from approximately $500,000 to $700,000, and single-family homes from $650,000 to $1.2 million for larger homes on premium lots. This range delivers urban Denver access at prices that are competitive with comparable distance from the core in Cherry Creek or Washington Park adjacent neighborhoods.
Denver Public Schools serves Lowry, with the specific school assignments varying by address within the community.
The Lowry Town Center
Lowry Town Center is the community's commercial hub, providing walkable retail, dining, and service access that eliminates many of the car trips that purely residential suburban communities require. The town center's mixed-use character, combining retail ground floors with residential units above, creates the urban commercial character that Lowry's master plan specifically intended.
