Original Northglenn (Perl-Mack)

By Jessica Car · Updated April 2026

The neighborhood that started it all, Perl-Mack's master-planned subdivision that Life magazine named 'The most perfectly planned community in America' in 1961. Classic ranch, bi-level, and tri-level homes cluster around 104th and Grant Street with deep yards, shaded sidewalks, and the midcentury charm of a post-war planned community. Prices remain among the most accessible in the north metro.
