Denver - Montbello

Is Montbello a Good Place to Live:

 

Location and Getting Around: Bordered by I-70 to the south, 56th to the north, Havana to the west, and Chambers to the east. Peoria St runs down the middle and across I-70 to the Peoria light rail station. You could also take 56th east to the 61st and Pena light rail station.

Housing Options: 278 residences sold in 2021. 264 of them were houses. There are a few affordable housing, income restricted homes in the neighborhood. The newest construction date of a property sold in 2021 in Montbello was 2005. Whereas other Denver neighborhoods often have properties purchased for the land value with the intent to scrape the building and construct a new duplex or other structure, Montbello has not yet experienced this. Montbello has one of the lowest price per square foot in the city of Denver.

Shopping and Entertainment: The Central Park neighborhood wraps around the western and southern border of Montbello. Because of this, residents of Montbello aren’t too far of a drive from the Shops at Northfield or other amenities of the newer, masterplanned community. Green Valley Ranch to the east also offers an additional shopping option for Montbello residents. Chambers Rd that serves as the eastern boundary of the neighborhood has a Walmart Neighborhood Market, Wingstop, Starbucks, etc.

Parks and Rec: Rocky Mountain Arsenal is directly north of Montbello. While having a past life as home to a military operation, Rocky Mountain Arsenal is now home to miles of trails and an abundance of wildlife (buffalo, deer, etc.). Montbello Central Park is the main park attraction within the actual neighborhood with pretty cool playground for kids. A number of other smaller parks are scattered across the neighborhood.

Land Use: The western third of the neighborhood along with lots along I-70 are predominantly industrial and warehouse uses. Shredder Indoor Ski and Snowboard School along with DSST Elevate Northeast High School also have land on the west side of Montbello. The eastern two-thirds of the neighborhood is largely made up of residential use.
