Northglenn's founding subdivision -- the original 280-acre Perl-Mack Co. development that grew to 10,000 residents and 3,000 homes by October 1962 -- forms the historic heart of the city, offering established, mid-century-era single-family housing stock close to the city's original civic and commercial center.
Areas along the I-25 corridor, for commute access
Northglenn sits with real, direct access to I-25, a genuine draw for residents commuting to Denver or elsewhere in the metro -- areas closer to the interstate corridor tend to emphasize this commute convenience, a real, practical factor for many movers choosing where in the city to live.
A dense suburban feel with high homeownership
Northglenn is broadly described as offering a dense suburban feel with most residents owning their homes -- consistent with its origin as a purpose-built, family-oriented planned community rather than a mixed-use redevelopment corridor like Englewood's CityCenter or a historic downtown like Littleton's Main Street.
