Lower Clover Basin
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Lower Clover Basin is a corridor label rather than a recorded plat name, applied to the western end of the Clover Basin Drive area where multi level houses from the 1990s and 2000s sit on quarter acre and larger parcels with two car garages and deep driveways. Open ground starts quickly to the west. Lagerman Agricultural Preserve, a Boulder County open space with a reservoir and a gravel loop, lies about a mile out near 75th Street. Dry Creek Community Park at 9306 North 87th Street is the closest developed park, tied in by the Dry Creek Greenway. Nelson Road and Clover Basin Drive both run east to Airport Road.
