It’s a growing town. More crime. Nothing for kids to do. Town folks voted against a community center. For the size of this place I’d think it really needs one. The 3 neighbors towns have one. Montrose just built their 2nd. It’s gorgeous! I’m pretty embarrassed that GJ doesn’t have one. Shopping is great! Downtown local market is fun. Amphitheater is awesome. But still with COVID-19, kids are bored. A rec center would be nice. We have great bike trails and hiking and wineries.
I grew up I Montrose, I miss the surrounding mountains, the beautiful San Juans. Here in Grand Junction you have brown dirt surrounding you, I mean yea, it’s the Colorado National Monument and Grand Mesa but come’on being surrounded by snow top mountain peaks is breathtaking. I guess you just settle into life if you live in Grand Junction. I’m here because my kids go to school at CMU. And it’s only 4 hours to Denver to watch the Broncos or Nuggets play or an 8 hours drive to Las Vegas.

I moved here from the SF Bay area and I absolutely LOVE IT! The housing is dirt cheap, the wages are high. Unlimited outdoor activity - this is the ultimate base camp if you like to road or mountain bike, ski or snowboard, raft, climb, or backpack. The heart of Colorado's wine county makes it fun to drink and dine here. This is one of those communities that is on the upswing, and changing FAST. Get in now before the secret is out. Cultural diversity is the only thing missing, but that is changing fast as more and more people move here. This is the best place to live under 200,000 people in the US for sure.
I love it here. I was born and raised in Grand Junction. There typically is not a day where you can not enjoy the out doors, and if there is weather you don't like stick around it will change! Here in Grand Junction we are surrounded by Mountains. There are a ton of places to walk, ride, roll, skate and horse back.
There is beautiful scenery all around. The Grand Mesa is the largest flat top Mountain with stunning experiences.
