With its well-designed layout, convenient walkability, numerous pocket parks, and comfortable suburban atmosphere, the Lowry neighborhood is very desirable. 

The housing options here are varied, ranging from more budget-friendly townhouses and condos to luxurious multi-million-dollar estates.

Like Denver’s Central Park neighborhood, built on the former Stapleton Airport property, Lowry has a suburban feel. Local agents note the area is right in the center of the city, but residents here don’t feel the hustle and bustle the way they might in other suburban neighborhoods. This neighborhood feels very much like a community, and the streets are set up so those who live there feel comfortable as pedestrians.

Initially developed in the early 1900s, the Lowry neighborhood was home to the Agnes C. Phipps Memorial Sanatorium, one of Colorado’s largest tuberculosis treatment centers. After the sanatorium closed in 1932, it became an army airbase that played a significant role during World War II and the Cold War before closing in 1994.

Since being repurposed for residential use, the area has transformed into a thriving community that showcases architectural styles reminiscent of Denver’s earlier development, such as Queen Anne, Tudor, Colonial Revival, bungalow, Foursquare, and Mediterranean. The neighborhood received national awards for converting a military base to civilian purposes.

The neighborhood includes single-family homes, duplexes, condos, and apartments. It’s a very diverse area with everything from townhouses and condos to multi-million-dollar estates.

The neighborhood renovation converted the old junior officers’ quarters into affordable housing. Former officers’ homes built in the 1940s and 1950s have also been remodeled.

New construction ranges from one- to three-bedroom condos to large homes. Prices for condos range from $330,000 to $600,000, and single-family homes range from $800,000 to $3 million.

Lowry’s townhomes appeal to downsizing empty nesters, while four-bedroom, single-family homes with large yards draw young families seeking space for their growing families. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, Lowry offers over 800 acres of park and open space options, including playgrounds, a golf course, an ice arena, a recreation center with a pool, a dog park, and hiking and biking trails. The neighborhood boasts a public library, the Jackie Robinson Baseball Field, and the pedestrian-friendly Lowry Town Center with restaurants, shops, and grocery stores.
