Bow Mar & Bow Mar South
Bow Mar and Bow Mar South are among the Denver area's most unique residential communities. Together, they offer a rare combination of private lake living, natural beauty, and a close-knit neighborhood atmosphere centered around shared lakes, community traditions, and an exceptional outdoor lifestyle. Custom homes, generous homesites, mature trees, and quiet streets create a peaceful setting that feels remarkably removed from city life, while Downtown Littleton, Central Denver, and the foothills remain just minutes away.
Having called Bow Mar home for more than two decades, one of the things I appreciate most is the sense of community. Life here naturally brings people together—whether it's an evening paddle across the lake, arts and crafts at the beach, a tennis match with neighbors, an afternoon swim, or gathering for concerts and seasonal events.
One of my favorite memories of raising my family in Bow Mar was spending summer mornings at the pool for Bow Mar Sharks swim team practice, followed by Saturday swim meets. Families came together to host the events, neighbors cheered on the swimmers, and the children built lasting friendships while learning teamwork, sportsmanship, and the joy of being part of a close-knit community. Those are the moments that make Bow Mar feel like so much more than a neighborhood—it feels like home.
ABOUT BOW MAR & BOW MAR SOUTH
PRIVATE LAKE LIVING IN THE HEART OF THE FRONT RANGE
LAKE LIFE & COMMUNITY
Bow Mar was thoughtfully designed around its private lakes and the natural beauty of Marston Reservoir, creating opportunities that few neighborhoods in Colorado can offer. Residents enjoy sailing, boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and lakeside gatherings throughout the warmer months.
As the seasons change, the traditions continue. The annual Turkey Bowl, pond hockey tournament, ice skating, Santa at the Beach, and neighborhood celebrations bring residents together year after year, creating a strong sense of belonging and a true community spirit.
Beyond the lakes, custom homes, expansive homesites, and beautifully landscaped streets encourage an active outdoor lifestyle. It's a place where children ride bikes, neighbors know one another, and spending time outdoors is simply part of everyday life.

Bow Mar is known for its custom homes, generous homesites, and established character.
