Northeast Grand Junction
Dutch Colonials on acre lots with decorative shrubs and boulders
From Dutch colonial homes in Northeast Grand Junction, residents can reach Main Street in a matter of minutes by traveling 4 miles west on North Avenue, an essential city thoroughfare that also has views of the Grand Mesa. Residents can gain a sense of Northeast Grand Junction by traveling down 29 ½ Street, a road surrounded by decorative shrubs and boulders on lawns with pebble gardens bordered by wooden fences. Cars pull into gravel driveways connected to paved carports and two-car garages. In the neighborhood’s north end, brand-new ranch-style homes with stucco walls and stone exteriors lie in the subdivisions off Brodick Way. Northeast Grand Junction also includes Craftsman-styles, Dutch Colonials, and farmhouses on acre lots. Housing prices range from $200,000 to $800,000. A three-bedroom ranch-style home can be listed between $300,000 and $550,000, while a four-bedroom home can be sold for $500,000 to $800,000. Some houses with over five bedrooms on large plots of farmland can cost up to $1.2 million.Shopping downtown or racing at GJ Motor Speedway
North Avenue cuts through the bottom half of Northeast Grand Junction, taking traffic past shopping centers with chain restaurants and department stores, while Orchard Avenue leads to locally owned shops and art galleries downtown. After a day of shopping, those looking to speed past their friends and family can rent go-karts at The Grand Junction Motor Speedway. When the race is won, congratulations are in order at Golosas Mexican Sandwiches, a traditional diner that combines burritos with burgers using fresh ingredients in a traditional setting. Dinner is served at Koi Ramen & Sushi, a colorful Asian eatery with wall art and neon lights. For groceries, there’s Safeway, is a supermarket off Patterson Road, or a Walmart Supercenter on North Avenue.Watch the Jackalopes hit a home run
Beginning in July, the Downtown Market on Main offers locally grown produce each Wednesday and Saturday mornings through September. Take Part in Art brings the community together to make something new each June, with live music, prize raffles and craftmaking in Lincoln Park to support local arts and culture-based organizations. On a cool summer night, the town flocks to Sulpizio Field to root for the city’s minor-league baseball team, the Grand Junction Jackalopes.Extracurricular programs at Central High prepare students for CMU

Despite being a regional airport, commercial airlines fly to Grand Junction Regional Airport, less than five miles north of Northeast Grand Junction.
