I moved here seven years ago. I have never been more free or more happy. As a US military veteran... Nobody ever thanked me for my service until I moved here. I may not be a native, but I got here as soon as we could! I ❤️ this place!
"World class mountain biking" exactly so. Hiking, cycling, mtb, fishing, hunting, climbing, camping.. outdoor activities here are worldclass. It is beautiful here. CMU is becoming a worldclass state university also.
I fly into a lot of cities each year with my job and I have to say that Grand Junction airport is one of my favorites. It is so small and convienient. I love the town and the people. If I could talk my grown kids into moving into the area I would be there in a heartbeat.
Great video. Sounds perfect to me. 😊 So many childhood memories of the Mesa. My dad wanted so much to move to this area. He loved Grand Mesa. It became OUR dream to move to CO. Maybe one day I’ll fulfill it. 😕
My family and I are planning on moving from Phonenix area, ASAP. Pulling a 29 ft camper. What would be the safest, flattest route to get there? Trying to avoid twisty up and down roads. Any advice is appreciated! It’s hard to find and concrete info online and the Google maps is no help. Thanks, y’all!
I found this town a while ago on a school project I fell in love with it and wanted to raise my kids there can’t wait to move after my last year of collage
We're looking to move down there from Alaska. Due to my wife's health issues we need a drier climate and the more I learn about GJ the more it looks like the place for an Alaskan to move to, demographically speaking
i moved to fruita/grand junction back in 2018. i like keeping to my self and not being around people but the people are so nice there i kind of looked forward to going out i didn't mind it anymore. i moved back to utah in April of this year and i will be moving back to fruita in january. the people being that nice and helpful is one of the reasons i am moving back
It appears from internet searches that Grand Junction's crime rate is nearly double the national average (per capita), driven mostly by higher rates of burglaries and theft...Your experience?
Unfortunately, those "On Line Stats" can cause a very misleading narrative because of our small population of 65,000 in comparison to, say, a Los Angeles or New York. You'll notice other, and what I would consider more important, crime metrics that show us well below the National Average. Christie has grown up here since 1975 and I've been here since 2006. Neither of us or any of our friends, family or Clients have ever had any issues. Some folks still leave their doors unlocked. We feel completely safe in our quaint little town!
I came thru Grand Junction Sept 2021, went to Einstein Bagels, older crowd, folks had on mask, the Wal Mart requested mask, the bathroom was closed due to COVID. It didn’t bother me one bit .. I stayed at I think it was the Marriott downtown $250.00, omg the road construction downtown.. it was dark when I got off the interstate.... phew .. it was confusing
I hated it at 1st but NOW I see it is getting more diverse and the ole good ole boy reputation is changing with every single election the last 36months.......Change is here in the Grand Valley and it's not all bad.
Lots of places to visit and drive too from GJ so that’s cool. I flew into there when we went to Moab. How far is Denver? I’m an airline employee and if they were hiring full-time I was considering moving there, but I don’t get paid a lot. I actually teach tennis part time (used to be full-time) and I’d need to pick up some lessons to supplement my income unless my lady could find a good job
I heard Colorado has gotten to a mask mandate, which doesn't bother me, but I like the idea of friendly people, and not a big population, also small town values is great by me, freedom as well.
@@LivinginGrandJunctionColorado Well that's interesting I guess its more central and front range, as my brother lives in Leadville, he told me about it.
I purchased my house near Lincoln Park 15 years ago.. Living city center is so awesome. But like many of the 1000sqft houses in this area... I would like to expand my house and add a second story. Do you work with, or can you recommend any contractors that specialize in room additions?
Hi , well I " plan " to win enough money to buy a house in Grand Junction , haha . but even if I could pay the full purchase price what would I need monthly , approx , to pay the taxes each month ? Please estimate . I am 76 y.o female .
Certainly the Redlands Area puts you within minutes of Mountain Biking and Hiking trails. That said, you're not very far from trails no matter where you reside!
Was born there in 1955. Parents moved here in 1957 because my aunt had moved here. And started a business. Aunt moved back in 1069. All have moved except me. My visits back have all been enjoyable. Would not have any objection to loving there. But family is all here.
I am just curious about the black and brown population there. I spent the last 6 months in MOAB UTAH and worked out there , and there was some diversity just within that area. My girlfriend is from Grand Junction. Her family has been so kind to me and treated me honestly without being bias to my skin color. I am a southern guy , grew up in the Salvation Army around all kinds of people and cultures and growing up like this has been heaven sent I feel with navigating through life without letting race issues get the best of me.
As Licensed Realtors, we can't give you Demographic Statistics per se' but, what we can tell you is everyone here for the most part is super friendly and will go out of their way to help you. Folks here treat people based on their character : ).
I just want to applaud you for actually answering questions to the best of you knowledge, and not replying with a canned “call me and we can discuss further “. I came here bc I’m always interested in the other areas of Colorado. Lived in the pikes peak area (9k feet) for 20 years, but it’s getting a little “woke” and cold. Fruita seems about my speed. I miss having a garden! All of our fruits and veggies come from you guys!!
Like to hear the "libertarian" position of the community. Kind of what Texas used to be. Some rural areas still that way but still too hot. Looking forward to our trip next week!
Thanks for the informative video. We recently flew from Orange County CA to Grand Junction CO (SEP2022). The overnight fee to park at John Wayne Airport is $20 not $40. So, it's not as costly as you made it sound.
Wow this was great. I've been watching your videos since last year. Planned to move to GJ when my mother, who I was taking care of, passed. This yearvhas been so crazy for the true Patriots. As much as I wanted to come to GJ, I was really hoping it wasn't as blue as Colorado's reputation. But I knew it'd be ok. And I'm beyond satisfied. Now living in Grand Junction, since September. Thought I'd revisit your channel, and I'm so glad I did. I love Grand Junction and I love every single thing on your list. Thanks so much!
I’m in love with the freedom loving, Gun toting, old fashioned families. I’m from the state capital of Calif. The people here are F A N T A S T I C! There is not a week that stops us in our tracks and thankful for the brilliant decision to move here. The first year was an adjustment. People we didn’t know would wave to us and I had to check I wasn’t wearing a huge bright yellow hat. One of first things we realized was the melting away of stress. You could never give me a reason to go back. Every where we go, it’s soooooo simple to strike up conversations. It still amazes us after four years here. GOD BLESS this area.!!
Yeah I've lived in junction my while live and here people are so friendly like people like to compliment you say hi smile so when I go to Vegas or Denver their is a stark differance 😄
@@LivinginGrandJunctionColorado I was a little worried when I heard the city leans conservative, but maybe conservatives in the West are more accepting than conservatives in the South? I live in TN, and it's not great here.
Please dont make click bait videos like this... Some people read the title and just assume you don't want them in your city/state/etc.. and move on. This trend of posting a negative title and then turning it around to positives is old and done. Be original or just straight up honest, people appreciate honesty. These click bait switcharoo videos come off dishonest and like trickery, and who wants to deal with a dishonest trickster, they are not cool. My wife and I are headed to Grand Junction this year... and some of your other videos were a big help in our decision.
Me and my husband are looking for a town in Colorado to begin our next chapter together, and looking for community without harsh judgement if I simply call him babe in public if I need to ask a question. Lol. Seriously though, would we be welcomed? Moving from Mississippi and want to start a family, but I would like to move somewhere I could adopt a kiddo and begin a family.
Gotta love good ol' American values! I have been doing a lot of research on places around the country and Grand Junction is back at the top of my list. :D
Been thinking about Grand Junction. I live in the high desert California, so climate and elevation wise, very similar to Grand Junction. I am just concerned that I am moving from one liberal state to another. High desert is similar in demographics too. Like the 2A sanctuary though!
Robert thank you for this video. I like your diplomatic way of describing the basic vibe of Grand Junction. Let's just say I'm on board with people being able to hold different viewpoints in peace, upholding our Second Amendment, and not living in a constant state of fear. So I think I can deal with few construction stops, and using more lotion. 😜🤣 And a shout-out to Chistie on her excellent target practice.
Much gratitude for this video. It’s gotta be difficult as a public figure and realtor to talk about politics, especially in a climate where our national media are so race-focused and woke, and shame those who have traditional values. Grand Junction sounds like a small piece of paradise. (Resident in super blue state)
Thanks so much for watching! The intent was to, in fact, avoid politics as best we could (which are boring frankly).... but to simply provide the general vibe here in our little town. We have people here all across the spectrum and also many friends who we may not see eye to eye but, "friends" is what we value the most. 😀
10 Facts: 1. Grand Junction leans toward Conservative, old-fashioned family values. Folks here love freedom, the flag, the 2nd Amendment and hunting. 2. The individuality is strong. It's a 'live and let live' culture. 3. Not for "misanthropes." If you don't like being around people, then don't come here. People in Grand Junction are really friendly and will go out of their way to say hello. 4. It is super dry. The average annual humidity is really low. Stock up on lotion and drink lots of water. Plus this town is 4,500ft above sea level. 5. Some of the scores of some of the local schools are mediocre to lower-end scores. That said, since Colorado is 'school-of-choice', you can petition to send your kid to the desired public school. Also, there are charter schools. Do your research. 6. The local airport has only 5 direct flight stops. 7. The local road construction seems never-ending. Luckily, the average commute time is only 14 minutes. 8. If you're in your mid/early 20s and you're not going to school here at Colorado Mesa University, there is not a lot of nightlife for you. There are a lot of outdoor activities but there's hardly any nightlife. 9. The median home price is about $350K, which means half are selling above $350K and half are selling below $350K. 10. There are a ton of different areas you can move into, and looking at photos online doesn't tell the whole story. The North area, the South area, the Redlands, Fruita, Palisade. A $300K home in Fruita is completely different than a $300K home in the Northwest or Northeast.
@@marionmeister4268 a $300K home in Fruita will feel pretty similar to a $300K home in the NE although the NE will feel a bit more "busy" or congested than Fruita. You'll be hard pressed to find a $300K home in the NW area. Remember, our "Median" Home Price is $400K as of this response.

I moved here seven years ago. I have never been more free or more happy. As a US military veteran... Nobody ever thanked me for my service until I moved here.
I may not be a native, but I got here as soon as we could! I ❤️ this place!
Thank you for your service!
Moving up from Vail... Looking forward to leaving such a liberal rich area and being around some normal folks!
Here in Grand Junction gun control means being able to hit your target!
"World class mountain biking" exactly so. Hiking, cycling, mtb, fishing, hunting, climbing, camping.. outdoor activities here are worldclass. It is beautiful here. CMU is becoming a worldclass state university also.
I lived in Grand Junction twice. Once in the 70s and in 2001-2002. Loved it! Work moved me around.
I fly into a lot of cities each year with my job and I have to say that Grand Junction airport is one of my favorites. It is so small and convienient. I love the town and the people. If I could talk my grown kids into moving into the area I would be there in a heartbeat.
We absolutely love how convenient our airport is! If you ever talk the grandkids into it....we'd love to assist! : )
Thank you.... I can't wait to talk to you! I'll hit you up tomorrow. I'm thankful for you...
I visited grand junction a few weeks ago. Loved it! Wish I could convince my family we should move to a more outdoors state.
Hey, you convinced me!
Same!
Looking to relocate from Long Beach CA. Thanks for the infoym

The grand valley was amazing to live in. Loved it..miss it so much.

"They love America, the flag and guns." ... sounds like heaven to me.

Any advice is appreciated! It’s hard to find and concrete info online and the Google maps is no help. Thanks, y’all!
Get to the I-15 and then head East on I-70. Probably a little back tracking but that's the Flattest and Safest.
Love visiting GJ. My mom's family from Fruita ,GJ . We visited every years when I was a kid from Texas. Its pretty up There.
I found this town a while ago on a school project I fell in love with it and wanted to raise my kids there can’t wait to move after my last year of collage
Love those values and guns .
We're looking to move down there from Alaska. Due to my wife's health issues we need a drier climate and the more I learn about GJ the more it looks like the place for an Alaskan to move to, demographically speaking
We'd love to help! We just spoke with some folks from the North Pole a couple of weeks ago!
Lots of ppl from Alaska like it here.

YAY! Reach out if we can help! : )
Sounds wonderful
As a Carbondale resident about an hour and 30mins from GJ I’m definitely moving there in the fall. The roaring fork valley is way to small
Reach out anytime! ❤

Always!
Lived hear all my life and sometimes I wished people would stop moving here but none the less I love this town and the folks that live here.
Take solace in the fact that we'll never be Denver : )
@@LivinginGrandJunctionColorado Without a doubt😂

There isn't any mandates in Grand Junction as it's up to City officials to decide. :)
@@LivinginGrandJunctionColorado Well that's interesting I guess its more central and front range, as my brother lives in Leadville, he told me about it.
Just saw this! LOL! Yep, all of that stuff is on the other side of the hill : )
Considering retiring from Army here. Will see if it is still affordable, right now prices seem higher all over the country.

What area of Grand Junction is in the background of your video?
That's the Colorado National Monument in the Redlands area.
I would enjoy a Grand Junction real estate marker update. Great video as always.

Hi , well I " plan " to win enough money to buy a house in Grand Junction , haha . but even if I could pay the full purchase price what would I need monthly , approx , to pay the taxes each month ? Please estimate . I am 76 y.o female .
About $150-$160 month based on today's "Median" price 😃
Is there droughts? Is there rural areas around?
No and Yes : )
Would love to visit one day
Do it! 👍
Which locations are closest to ride/walk to the trail systems?
Certainly the Redlands Area puts you within minutes of Mountain Biking and Hiking trails. That said, you're not very far from trails no matter where you reside!
Also I would recommend the Redlands and I myself am not living in the Redlands simply because of my annoying budget

10. There are a ton of different areas you can move into, and looking at photos online doesn't tell the whole story. The North area, the South area, the Redlands, Fruita, Palisade. A $300K home in Fruita is completely different than a $300K home in the Northwest or Northeast.
How does a 300k home in Fruita compare to one in the Northweast or Northeast?
@@marionmeister4268 a $300K home in Fruita will feel pretty similar to a $300K home in the NE although the NE will feel a bit more "busy" or congested than Fruita. You'll be hard pressed to find a $300K home in the NW area. Remember, our "Median" Home Price is $400K as of this response.
