Plumbing trouble in a Northglenn home? Call (720) 664-0815 — we know what to expect from the city's original 1960s ranch and split-level construction, not just newer builds.
Northglenn started as two competing visions built almost on top of each other. In 1959, the Perl-Mack Company began selling model homes near what's now I-25 and 104th Avenue, priced as low as $13,500, and the development grew fast enough to be named "the most perfectly planned community in America" by Life magazine and the National Association of Home Builders within a few years. Around the same time, a smaller, architecturally distinct project called Deza Estates went up near 99th and Huron, built in a mid-century modern style with open floor plans that stood apart from the standard ranch and split-level homes filling in the rest of the new community. When residents tried to incorporate as their own city in 1964, Thornton opposed the move and took it to court; the Colorado Supreme Court didn't settle the question until January 1969, and Northglenn officially became a city that April.
That same rapid growth shaped the city's civic landmarks. Webster Lake, the small lake now inside E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park, was renamed in 1985 after a Northglenn police officer killed in the line of duty the year before, and the park earned a national award following a full renovation in 2000 and 2001. The original Northglenn Mall, once the anchor of the city's retail, was torn down in 1999 and rebuilt as the open-air Northglenn Marketplace using recycled material from the old structure.

A city built almost entirely within a few years, like Northglenn was between 1959 and 1962, means a large share of its original housing stock is now aging in lockstep. That's useful information for diagnosis, not just trivia. Two services come up often enough in Northglenn's original neighborhoods that they're worth knowing about ahead of time.
