Mountain views between fruit trees farms and a trendy downtown

Northeast Grand Junction is an upbeat area separating a trendy downtown from the fruit farms and deserts of the outskirts, with views of the Grand Mesa, the largest plateaued mountain on Earth. "Pretty much any type of outdoor recreation that you want to do, you can do in Grand Junction because we’re surrounded by the mountains," says Taylor Knight, a lifelong resident of Grand Junction and Realtor with Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties. "Within an hour, you can be skiing, fishing, camping, hiking or ATV riding on the Grand Mesa. That’s why I think people fall in love with 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.

Rocky dunes and corn fields in Matchett Park

Matchett Park boasts a 205-acre area for hiking and mountain biking on sandy trails through rocky dunes and corn fields. Darla Jean Park offers a playground, basketball court and picnic tables for a midday lunch with a view of the Rocky Mountains. Kids can take to the diamond at Files Park as part of the Grand Mesa Little League. Next to Central High School, the Long Family Memorial Park provides athletic facilities, a skate park and walking trails by a duck pond. Lincoln Park boasts a nine-hole golf course and a community swimming pool with slides, diving boards and a splash pad in Downtown Grand Junction. Hiking trails populate the Rockies with routes through Mount Garfield, Palisade Rim or James M. Robb Colorado River State Park, all within 15 miles east.

Extracurricular programs at Central High prepare students for CMU

Schools in Northeast Grand Junction are part of Mesa County Valley School District 51, the 10th-largest school district in Colorado, serving over 20,000 students. Kids can attend Fruitvale Elementary School, which earns a C-plus overall grade from Niche, and has plans to build a new playground. Bookliff Middle School also receives a C-plus, where students can join MESA, a Math, Engineering and Science Achievement club that competes in the MATHCOUNTS competition. B-minus-rated Central High School gives students a head start in earning college credits with extracurricular programs like Student Senate, Speech Debate Club and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). After high school, students can pursue higher education at Colorado Mesa University, which enrolls over 10,000 students at its campus in Grand Junction, just north of downtown.

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.

Getting around town

Northeast Grand Junction is a car-dependent neighborhood in the Grand Valley, but public transportation helps pedestrians get around. The Grand Valley Transit (GVT) bus system takes passengers around town and the surrounding areas, with eight bus stops at the intersection of Patterson and 29 Road. Interstate 70 connects to North Avenue and Patterson Road, making it easy to travel west into Utah or east toward other Colorado cities. From I-70, Salt Lake City is 284 miles northwest, and Denver is 244 miles east. Despite being a regional airport, commercial airlines fly to Grand Junction Regional Airport, less than five miles north of Northeast Grand Junction.

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.
