Montclair is one of Denver’s most distinctive historic neighborhoods, known for its grand Victorian homes, wide boulevards, and strong community pride. Established in the 1880s, it was originally envisioned as a health retreat and later became a prestigious residential area. Today, Montclair remains a neighborhood where history and modern living intersect beautifully.
Montclair is home to about 5,000 residents.

The median build year is around 1940, reflecting layers of Denver’s growth over time.
About 70% of homes are owner-occupied, with a mix of longtime residents and newer buyers drawn by its history and location. The neighborhood is quiet, family-friendly, and offers more space than many central Denver areas.

Homes typically sell in 25–35 days, reflecting steady demand. Buyers are drawn to Montclair’s historic architecture and large lots, which provide long-term value and appeal.
Montclair offers several local parks, including Montclair Park with open lawns, playgrounds, and trails. Nearby Mayfair Park and Crestmoor Park add even more green space, while the Cherry Creek Trail is easily accessible for biking and walking.
The neighborhood is best known for its historic Victorian homes, many with ornate details and large porches.
