Modern homes, golf courses and scenic canyon views in the Redlands
The Grand Valley was sculpted by the Colorado River millions of years ago, leaving behind floating rock formations and a mosaic of minerals. Ancient canyons and mountains offer postcard views from the Redlands, an affluent and nature-oriented neighborhood just 8 miles south of Downtown Grand Junction. With modern homes, premier golf courses and plenty of outdoor recreation, the Redlands has access to scenic overlooks, hiking areas and bike trails by rugged peaks and rigid canyon walls. “The Redlands is arguably the highest GDP area with a lot of high-end real estate. It’s a very eclectic place. You can drive 5 miles and see a commercial development, a 2-million-dollar house or a ranch,” says Joe Reed, team lead and associate broker at RE/MAX 4000 Inc. who has lived in the valley for over 30 years. “People move here for the schools and the views – and there are just some remarkable views out here.”

Colorado National Monument and Redlands recreation
The Colorado National Monument is a collection of canyons outside of Grand Junction with over 20,500 acres of wilderness to explore. The Monument features overlooks like Hanging Canyon, which frames the city at the end of an arched quarry. Off in the distance, the Bookcliffs are a desert mountain range named for their distinctive pointed ridges, which from the Redlands resemble books on a shelf. The park also provides views of the Grand Mesa, the largest flat-topped mountain in the world, reaching over 11,000 feet tall, with thick alpine forests and ski slopes at the Powderhorn Mountain Resort. “I think it’s the best part of Colorado. There’s just so much to do outdoors all year round,” says Nikala Citrola, sales associate at RE/MAX 4000 Inc. “People can ride their bikes to the trails from their houses, and there are a lot of good hikes. The people are great, and it just has that small-town feel.”
The Connected Lakes portion of the Colorado River State Park offers walking trails and bike paths around multiple lakes used for fishing or paddleboarding. Lunch Loop features reputable mountain biking trails on a dirt track and jumps over rocky ramps. Liberty Cap is a hiking trail on a gravel path that follows a pinyon-juniper woodland up to the top of the Monument. Bangs Canyon trail leads to a historic mine speckled with quartz and mica crystals, and Brontosauruses once roamed the path up to Dinosaur Hill. Rabbits or lizards may scamper across the path, and these hills are also home to wildlife, like rattlesnakes and bighorn sheep. Creeks and water hazards bring an added challenge to the Tiara Rado Golf Course at the base of the Monument. Designed by notable course architect Jim Engh, the Redlands Mesa Golf Course offers banked fairways with lush grass below high desert hills.

Modern homes in affluent subdivisions with desert landscaping
Subdivisions in the Redlands have custom Pueblo Revivals and modern Mediterranean homes. Redlands Mesa is a 500-acre community with custom homes built in the early 2000s with stone or stucco-style exteriors spread across cul-de-sacs centered around one of the area’s premier golf courses. Homes typically cost between $700,000 and $1.1 million. A three-bedroom Mediterranean home can be listed for around $750,000 to $950,000, while a four-bedroom modern home can be sold for between $800,000 and $1 million. Some homes larger than 6,000 square feet may cost upwards of $2.3 million. Many homes in the Redlands are landscaped with rocks from local markets like the Rock Shop, a landscaping supply store with washed gravel, pink granite boulders and shale, adding a new colorful layer to home gardens. “The difference between a property that has access to water and one that doesn’t could be 30%,” says Reed. The expense of manually routing city water to a property causes many homes in the Grand Valley to have xeriscape lawns as opposed to the grassy yards that come with irrigated properties.

The Mesa Mall and nearby restaurants
The Redlands is slightly removed from the restaurants and retail in commercial districts closer to town. “There is not much retail in the Redlands,” says Reed. “There is a Safeway for groceries, but residents go to the mall or to Downtown for retail.” The Mesa Mall, just across the river from the Redlands, provides anchor stores like Cabela’s and JCPenney with outlets like Famous Footwear or Men’s Wearhouse. Some restaurants can be found on Broadway, like Ristorante Pantuso, a high-end Italian eatery with dim lighting and vintage décor. The Handlebar Tap House is a local brewery next door serving craft beer and pub food on a rooftop patio. For groceries, Safeway is in the Redlands Marketplace on Broadway, and City Market is about 3 miles north on 24 Road.

Some of the city's best annual events
Live music comes to Grand Junction with indie outfits and cover bands playing in the amphitheater at Las Colonias Park in the summer. Country Jam is one of Colorado’s biggest music festivals, with top-tier artists performing in nearby Mack in June. In Palisade, the Colorado Mountain Winefest in September recently earned the title of “best wine festival in the nation” from USA Today. The Palisade Peach Festival introduces a market with sweet jams and peach salsa in August. “Of course, we have the golf courses, but we also have the agriculture – the peaches and the grapes,” says Judy Smith, Director of Operations at the Grand Junction Area Realtor Association. “The temperature is mild, and It’s a great place to live with a mixture of big city and town.” Colorado’s western slope, including Grand Junction, is part of the Banana Belt, which refers to the warmer winters
