"A great area with almost no crime"
The city of Bow Mar started years ago and there are numerous neighborhoods which reflect the time period they were built. Many of them are from the 50s and 60s, but there has been quite a change in recent years. There are now some seriously stately homes which go for well over a million dollars and an incredibly nice country club, Pinehurst CC, which is in the area and offers quiet a few things to do. One home currently on the market is going for $3 million and has 9 bathrooms. I hope it comes with a maid.
The latest data I could find was for 2009 and the median household income was $131,148 with a median detached home price of $938,456. Both of these numbers have gone up significantly since the early 2000s. The major industry here is professional, scientific, and technical services followed by health care and social assistance. The majority of the residents (94%) are white.
Much of the area is surrounding lakes which offer residents some great outdoor activities. There is also a very low crime rate.

"Bow Mar -- The pretty Denver suburban area around the lakes"
Bow Mar is a tiny community that is part of the Denver metro area in Jefferson County just west of Littleton. There are about 1000 people that call Bow Mar home and the most dominant feature of the area are the lakes. The area is named for the two lakes in the area Bowles Lake and Marston Lake named for two farmers who pioneered the land. The neighborhood homes were built in the 1940's and 50's and reflect ranch prairie-style architecture with big lots and wide streets. Today some for the homes are being replaced or seriously renovated.
Bow Mar Lake is a center for the community especially in the summer months when they have boat races. There are also trails popular for runners, hikers, bikers and strolling.
The average household income is over $100,000 so you could say this is a well to do neighborhood. The community is small, clean and offers great “little” schools. Bow Mar Public Schools are part of the Little Public Schools school district offering 15 elementary schools, 6 middle schools and 4 high schools in this relatively small district! There are also 2 charter schools in the area.
