Adaptive reuse defines Lowry Field, where Denver's former Air Force base has transformed into one of the city's premier planned communities. The neighborhood features preserved historic buildings alongside contemporary development, creating architectural diversity unusual for planned communities.

Residential tranquility defines these Stamford neighborhoods, where tree-lined streets offer more breathing room than downtown options while maintaining reasonable commuting possibilities. The districts feature architectural diversity from mid-century ranches to colonial revivals, creating varied housing options unusual for typically development-focused Fairfield County communities.
