MOVERS IN MONTBELLO, CO

Way back in 2017, Realtor.com named Northeast Denver the hottest suburban neighborhood in the country. Problem is, nearly all the populated portion of the 80239 zip code cited by the website is Montbello, which is actually within the Denver city limits.

So, yeah, “misunderstood” is probably an especially apt adjective for one of Denver’s largest neighborhoods.

Relatively young as neighborhoods go — the land was annexed by Denver in 1965 and mostly developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s — it was given an Italian name that translates as “beautiful mountain.” With views of Mount Evans, Long’s Peak and the Continental Divide, no one is arguing.

Weird thing is, even though it’s right next to pricey, desirable Central Park, bordered by a national wildlife refuge and super close to Denver International Airport, Montbello gets a rap as something of a dicey neighborhood. Fact is, it’s pretty middle-of-the-pack among Denver’s 78 neighborhoods in many key per-capita crime stats.

For some movers, moving company hype is equally misleading. Moving Proz isn’t interested in snowing anybody. We’ll just give you a chance to talk to a real person who will address your concerns (real or imagined) about the many ways a move can really freak you out — and we’ll reel you back in.
