Fall in love with Grand Junction

North Grand Junction is an affluent suburb centered around Colorado Mesa University (CMU) and located only a mile north of downtown. Students bring new life to Grand Junction. The community supports the university's athletic programs as the downtown becomes reinvigorated during the school year. “People graduate, fall in love with Grand Junction and make it their permanent homes,” says Taylor Knight, a lifelong resident who has sold homes for 10 years as a Realtor for Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties.

Before the shopping spree, residents can enter the Outlaw Café, a Western-themed diner serving a classic American breakfast in a rustic interior. Enzo's Ristorante Italiano serves pasta dishes in the lounge on the patio, decorated by lights, greenery and a stone fountain. Locals can pick up groceries at City Market on 12th Street or Safeway on Patterson Road.

Developing real estate market with updated midcentury homes on half-acre lots

North Grand Junction has developed quickly. Most houses were built in the 1990s, and subdivisions are still under construction. In this neighborhood, suburban subdivisions with Craftsman and updated ranch-style homes sit on half-acre lots with lush lawns adorned by red rocks and green juniper bushes. Other smaller properties have yards consisting entirely of small stones and decorative greenery. Newly built Contemporary Spanish-style homes are around the intersection of G Road and 12th Street. “The town is growing, and lots of apartment buildings are being built,” says Dustie McGowen, Leasing Specialist at The Slate on 25 Apartments. “A lot of people need housing for CMU. Grand Junction is like a retirement town with college students, and it’s expanding.” The average home sale price is up 8% from the previous year, indicating a healthy market. Homes typically range from $350,000 to $950,000. A three-bedroom Craftsman home can span from $350,000 to $800,000, while a four-bedroom contemporary home can cost between $450,000 to $900,000.

Get around on the Grand Valley Transit

North Grand Junction is a car-dependent neighborhood, and most people have personal automobiles. The Grand Valley Transit (GVT) shuttles passengers around town, with 10 bus stops on Horizon Drive. The Grand Junction Regional Airport is 4 miles northeast, and Horizon Drive takes cars through another commercial district with restaurants and hotels for those entering Grand Junction. Patterson Road runs laterally through the center of North Grand Junction, connecting to Interstate 70 and taking traffic west into Utah or east to Denver, about 244 miles away. St. Mary's Hospital is a major medical center with emergency rooms, maternity wards and specialized services on Patterson Road. Although St. Mary’s provides the neighborhood with medical care and a quick response time during emergencies, residents living on primary ambulance routes may be able to hear sirens from their homes.

The Junior College World Series

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated downtown each May with all-day activities, such as a jalapeno-eating contest, live music and food truck vendors, organized by the local Latino Anglo Alliance organization. Over 100,000 people also put on boots and Western wear at Country Jam, a four-day country music festival in Loma, a town 18 miles west. In the summer, the community gathers to root on the CMU Tech Mavericks, especially if they qualify to compete in the Juco College World Series. “The Junior College World Series is a huge thing here,” says Joann Hindson, a lifelong resident and Community Manager at Peak 72 Apartments. “It brings in tourists from all over.”
