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.

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.”
Get around on the Grand Valley Transit
