An elevated village of Grand Junction surrounded by rivers
Rushing rivers diverge, wrapping around Orchard Mesa, a neighborhood elevated like an island above the rushing rapids. Removed from Grand Junction, Orchard Mesa provides opportunities for river rafting, mountain biking and a developing housing market 4 miles south of the city center. “The Gunnison flows into the Colorado River, and that’s why it’s called Grand Junction. If you travel to Orchard Mesa, you are traveling to the meeting point of those two rivers,” says Laura Springer, Broker Associate at Keller Williams Colorado West Realty, who has lived in Grand Junction for over 20 years. “Orchard Mesa is an up-and-coming area. It’s kind of its own municipality.”

Ziplining to Las Colonias Park
Hikers cross the bridge, walking above rushing rapids to reach Eagle Rim Park, and bridges aren’t the only way to get across. “There’s a new zipline that takes you over the Colorado River to Las Colonias Park,” says Springer. Las Colonias Park invites adventurers to the bank with boat ramps on the Colorado River and the Butterfly Lakes for a calmer stream to kayak and paddleboard. The Riverfront Trail is a 28-mile path through several of Grand Junction’s most significant parks along the Colorado River. Eagle Rim Park is a 12-acre space with a playground, a skate park and an angelic statue dedicated to the early pioneer women in Grand Junction. A creek runs through Duck Pond Park, providing ample green space with a playground and a picnic area shaded by an aesthetic gazebo. The Chipeta Golf Course is a highly rated public course with majestic Mesa views. The Orchard Mesa Community Center Pool has a winding waterslide into a massive indoor swimming area with seafaring animals painted on the walls and offers swimming lessons and exercise classes.

Decor and landscaping in the high desert of Western Colorado
Raised ranch-style homes sit on lawns made of red dirt or decorative gravel as green shrubs and purple lavender plants add a splash of color to the high desert vibe of western Colorado. Gravel driveways connect to paved carports, leaving plenty of room for pickup trucks and RVs, as stucco walls and wooden fences border lawns. The Spyglass Ridge neighborhood is one of the most prominent examples of Orchard Mesa's development potential, providing new midcentury modern and sprawling prairie-style homes with valley views on Lookout Lane. Contemporary split-levels and ranch-style homes comprise the housing stock, while New Traditional, Craftsman and Foursquare homes are standard. Prices range from $250,000 to $750,000. A newer three-bedroom Craftsman can cost between $500,000 and $650,000, while a four-bedroom contemporary home can be listed anywhere from $450,000 to $700,000.
