10 Reasons Why Lowry Is Denver’s Best Kept Secret
Cherry Creek impresses us with its luxe shopping, Washington Park with its namesake park, and Greenwood Village with its custom estates.
Lowry, on the other hand, is humble. Comfortable. And at times, understated.
But even without the ostentatious zip code, Lowry is a cultural, urban oasis that brings the best of Denver to its locale.
Here are just some of the reasons Lowry is one of the best-kept secrets in Denver.
Proximity to...
Lowry’s proximity to Cherry Creek, Downtown Denver, and Stapleton (to name a few) is unparalleled. Living in Lowry grants residents access to all of Denver’s best retail, dining, and entertainment.
Additionally, Lowry is only a 26-minute drive from Denver International Airport and 1 hour 26 minutes from Silverthorne, CO. In a world where location is everything, Lowry has it covered.
Downtown Vs. Neighborhood
Lowry’s newest developments have been designed with the best urban elements in mind.
Some of Lowry’s urban features include public art, public transportation, bike-friendly roads, walkable shops and restaurants, and accessible events. What separates Lowry from traditional urban areas are greenspaces, developed parks, nearby grocery stores, and contemporary architecture. It's the best of both worlds.
Parks & Greenspace
Being able to escape the hustle and bustle of a city is luxury in itself. Within Lowry’s borders are countless parks and green spaces spotted with walking paths, dog parks, and gardens.
Tree-lined Crestmoor Park is just across Monaco Pkwy and Lowry Sports Complex Park is situated between Lowry Tennis Courts and Big Bear Ice Arena. Smaller, local parks break up each neighborhood and give everyone in Lowry immediate access to outdoor recreation.
Walkable & Bikeable
Imagine hanging up your car keys and walking right out of your home to dinner, the movies, or your morning workout. In Lowry, you can.
In fact, according to Walk Score, you can walk anywhere in Lowry in 20 minutes or less. If you’re an avid cyclist, you can easily hop on Cherry Creek Trail and head downtown or to Cherry Creek reservoir.
A Little Comfort, A Little New
While we love trendy restaurants and shops, it’s nice to maintain a balance of new and comfortable. Which is why we love that Starbucks has two locations in Lowry Town Center.
Other Colorado oldies include Einstein Brothers, The Tavern, and The Delectable Egg. If you’re an adventurer, consider stopping into Chop Shop or Officers Club.
Culture
Because of the established neighborhood and urban conveniences, culture can flourish in Lowry.
Generations of Coloradoans have grown up here and continue traditions in the area. Throughout Lowry, you’ll find locally-owned stores and restaurants that represent the people who call Lowry home. Community events and performance arts in the area give nod to the area’s roots and current population. To top it off, Wings Over the Rockies is one of the largest museums in the metro and is open to the public almost every day.
Dog-Friendly
Jut like you, four-legged friends also crave wide open spaces. Luckily, in Lowry, there are many places where he/she can expend energy.
The Lowry Dog Park is large and features three fenced-in areas: one for high-energy play, one for low-energy play, and an agility area.
As a bonus, one of Denver’s only dog-friendly restaurants, The Watering Bowl, is down the road. Bring your pups for a casual dinner.
An Established Neighborhood
Because of its proximity to downtown and surrounding communities, like Crestmoor, Hilltop and 6th Ave, Lowry is considered an established neighborhood. In other words, its real estate values are historically stable and less susceptible to short term market fluctuations. This comfort gives homebuyers more confidence in their investment, whether they choose to live in Lowry forever or just a few years.
