Montrose is an excellent town on the western slope located just a short drive from some of the most amazing natural wonders the Southwest has to offer. Montrose is also a great place to raise a family, with our recreation district offering a multitude of sports for any age, including year round soccer in our brand-new indoor soccer complex! Montrose also offers the largest and newest recreation center on the western slope, including an 11 lane lap pool, basketball courts, a lazy river and racquetball courts. Montrose public schools offer amazing sports programs and have recently become deeply invested in STEM activities. Overall, Montrose is an amazing town with so much to offer and it will make an excellent home for anyone wanting to move here.
The land of Montrose is beautiful, the weather is amazing, and there are tons of hiking spots. The people however....make it a two star town. If you are not white, straight, and neurotypical, don't come here. They will hate you even more than they already hate outsiders. The locals are uneducated, cruel, and don't know how to adapt to change. Adapting to change is often a sign of higher levels of intelligence and education, so that's probably why the locals don't do it well. If I were you, I wouldn't even stop by as a tourist to give these people my money. As soon as I can, I will move. It's a pity, because as a Denver native, I was taught to love diversity and higher levels of education. These people here give Colorado a bad name.
Have lived here for nearly 5 years after choosing to escape one of America's largest cities. Love the peace and quiet, and scenic beauty of the San Juan mountains, Ouray, Telluride and Silverton, plus Black Canyon National Park, a stunning place of beauty about 30 minutes away. The people here are delightful. A lot of family values due to many old-time cowboys, farmers and ranchers who believe in faith and family. NO traffic issues at all, although in-town there is some crime and drug issues (like anywhere). Not many choices of places to eat or things to do if you want nightlife but tons of outdoor opportunities. We're retiring here and glad we made the move.
