5280 Mod – The Quest for Mod Homes in Denver Begins

The first thing you should know about Mid-Century Modern Architecture in Metro Denver…

Did you know that the first post-World War II residential subdivision listed as an historic district in the National Register of Historic Places is located in Englewood, a suburb of Denver?

Arapahoe Acres – “Constructed between 1949 and 1957, it is a remarkable community of one hundred and twenty-four individually unique, modern homes.” (from the Arapahoe Acres Historic District website)

Thankfully, the architects, developer and conractor responsible for Arapahoe Acres didn’t stop there. There are unique pocket neighborhoods of mid-century mod homes, as well as individual homes scattered throughout the metro area.

I have catalogued dozens of these properties in my efforts to locate homes for my clients and will share my discoveries on this blog.
