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.

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.
