Housing Inventory

   There's a huge variety of single-family homes available in the northeast part of town.  Some neighborhoods are older, with established lawns and vegetation, and many others are brand new.  It's possible to find older homes under $200,000 but most new home subdivisions feature homes in the 300s, with upper-end amenities and features.

   Many of the duplex, triples and fourplex building build in the late 70's and early 80's are in the northeast area and come on the market occasionally as investment property.

Schools

   Thunder Mountain Elementary, Nisley and Fruitvale Elementary are all in the northeast area. Bookcliff Middle School has recently been completely remodeled within the last three years. Grand Mesa Middle School and Central High School straddle the border between the northeast area, the southeast and Clifton.

Amenities

   Mesa County's biggest park, the 44-acre Long Family memorial park, offers walking trails, picnic shelters, playgrounds, basketball courts, providing recreational opportunities for residents who live in the northeast part of town. There are several retail stores along Patterson Road (which is one of the main corridors that runs east and west through Grand Junction) including a large grocery store and a drug store. Revitalization is taking place on North Avenue, with some older retail areas getting a facelift, and at least one new shopping and service area, The Plaza on North Avenue, finally in the building phase.

Bookcliff Activity Center at Bookcliff Middle School is used for recreational activities offered through the City of Grand Junction Park and Recreation Department. Recreational classes and activities for adults and children are offered, as well as league play in basketball, wiffleball and dodgeball.

What makes N.E. special?

   It's possible to find many neighborhoods within walking distance to elementary, middle or high schools. Housing in the northeast area if more affordable than some other parts of town, and there is convenient access to the north desert BLM area via 29 Road. Views of Mount Garfield and Grand Mesa are awesome.
