Area Guide

Lowry Denver, CO

A former Air Force base turned thriving neighborhood, Lowry brings an unexpected sense of openness to Denver's east side, with wide tree-lined streets, expansive parks, and a walkable town center that feels more like a small community than a corner of a major city. Lowry Town Center anchors the area with shops, restaurants, and gathering spots, while the nearby Lowry Sports Complex and Boulevard One give residents plenty of green space and recreation. Downtown Denver sits about six miles west, making it an easy commute, and the Peoria light rail station is just minutes away for car-free days.

The Community College of Aurora at Lowry adds an academic energy to the area, and the neighborhood's history is still present in the preserved hangars and open fields that once served Lowry Air Force Base, closed in 1994 and thoughtfully redeveloped into the residential community it is today.
