Compare the year built, finished space, and lot dimensions together. Montclair's original development used parcels twice the size of Denver's standard 25-by-125-foot lot. More modest homes were added after World War II around the earlier large houses. The result is a mix of earlier homes with bungalows, cottages, Tudors, and ranches added over time.
A home with less interior space may still have the larger lot. Square footage alone is not enough to compare two Montclair properties.
The designated historic district covers only part of Montclair. For homes within its boundaries, Denver reviews projects such as additions, solar panels, window and roof replacement, and demolition or rebuilding.
If you are buying with an exterior project in mind, confirm whether the specific address is inside the district before estimating the scope and cost. For more options across the city, explore Denver homes for sale.
