Montbello Neighborhood

Montbello began as a suburban-style development by real estate developer Jordon Perlmutter, the first major annexation of privately owned land to the far northeast area of Denver, taking place in September 1965. The annexation included almost 3,000 areas of land and plans for the area to develop into a mixed-use community and dictated the general land use and densities and provided for the necessary public land sites for parks, schools, and other public facilities. Developers built a large variety of homes, ranging from small soap-box ranches to large multi-level family homes.
