All About Denver

 Saturday June 5th was the annual Lowry Yard Sale.  Residents of the entire subdivision of the Denver neighborhood of Lowry found unused items that they could sell to others.  Are you a people watcher?  It was fun to sit on the porch and watch the stream of cars and walkers filling the neighborhood.  Watching them show their buying signals and interest levels in the junk that I put out to sell was equally as interesting.  I noticed that if they looked at it but did not touch it they were not very interested.  If they picked it up they were more interested.  If they picked it up and held it for awhile they were most interested.   We had a lot of great deals so some people couldn’t resist buying because it was such a deal.  We made $36.00 in our 4 hours of work.  I think I’ll stick to selling real estate.  I’ve always loved the homes that I have sold in Lowry.  I have a Lowry home on the market.  Speaking of “price it low and it will go” this home is the least expensive home in the exclusive Park Heights neighborhood of Lowry. and it has one of the largest backyards in all of Lowry.  Check it out

In the mid 1800s the land that is now Lowry was a prairie that was inhabited by the Plains Indians.  In the 1950s Lowry became an Army post, then an Air force base.  There is a wonderful book that was written in 2002 about the history of Lowry.  It is supported by the Lowry Foundation with the assistance of Historic Denver.  It is called Lowry: Military Base to New Urban Community by Thomas J. Noel and Chuck Woodward with photography by Carole D. Cardon.  The redeveloped Lowry neighborhood has continued to appreciate in value because it has an excellent location.  It is in the center of Denver, close to downtown, the Denver Tech Center, the developing Fitzsimmons Health Facility and Cherry Creek Shopping District and fun bike trails.
