Southwest Denver · Arapahoe & Jefferson Counties
Bow Mar
Bow Mar is a town of about 850 residents on Denver’s southwest edge, split between Arapahoe and Jefferson counties. The name combines Bowles Lake and Marston Lake, which frame the town. Both are named for farmers who worked this land in the late 1800s.
Water covers close to a fifth of its 520 acres. Most homes sit on lots of an acre or so, and from the higher streets you can see the foothills to the west and the downtown skyline to the northeast.
After World War II, the farmland here was divided into homesites. The first house went up in 1947, and most of the town was built by the end of the 1950s. Many of the early houses followed Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie style: long, low and one story, set well back on lots of about an acre.
That plan still shapes the town. Streets are quiet, lots are deep, and the oldest evergreens are now taller than the houses.
You’ll find original mid-century ranches next to full renovations and new custom homes. Here the lot, its trees and its view often count for as much as the house. A dated ranch on the right parcel can draw strong demand, and Alex has watched that happen from the inside.
Just south of the town line, Bow Mar South and nearby enclaves like Sheridan Landing have the same setting: larger lots, water and mountain views, all with Littleton addresses. Buyers often look at both sides of the line, so Alex covers them as one market.
Downtown Littleton’s Main Street, Bowles Avenue shopping and US-285 are all close by, and downtown Denver is about half an hour away. The lakes and open space at the town’s edges are part of daily life here.
