Bow Mar
Welcome to Bow Mar, where the allure of midcentury modern living intertwines seamlessly with the tranquility of lakeside serenity. Nestled just a stone's throw away from downtown Denver, this picturesque town offers a retreat akin to the serenity of Walden amidst the vibrant pulse of city life.
Rooted in its agricultural origins, Bow Mar flourished from the fertile lands surrounding Bowles Lake and Marston Lake, once serving as a vital supplier to nearby Littleton and Denver. Named in honor of pioneering farmers Joseph Bowles and John Marston, this area underwent a remarkable metamorphosis post-World War II, evolving from farmland into a suburban sanctuary.
In 1947, the visionary minds of Lloyd and Eleanor King, known for their contributions to King Soopers, laid the groundwork for Bow Mar's distinctive fusion of community and nature. By the late 1950s, the neighborhood had blossomed into a picturesque enclave, with homes echoing the prairie-style architecture reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic designs.
Today, Bow Mar stands as a testament to enduring design and tight-knit camaraderie. Each residence graces sprawling one-acre lots, nestled amidst wide streets that beckon for leisurely strolls and bike rides. While many homes have undergone modern renovations, they retain the timeless essence of their midcentury origins.
Bordering the realms of Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, Bow Mar fosters a sense of unity among its residents, bonded by a shared reverence for vintage charm and natural splendor. Membership in Bow Mar Owners, Inc. is a cherished privilege, offering exclusive access to the town's residents-only beach and yacht club.
Whether basking along the shores of Bowles Lake or marveling at the enduring architecture that dots the landscape, Bow Mar invites you to immerse yourself in a simpler, more connected way of life. Come uncover the enchantment of Bow Mar – where history, nature, and community converge in perfect harmony.
