Review of Grand Junction, Colorado


Disappointed
Star Rating - 12/10/2011
My husband has family in GJ and wants to move back there with me and our two girls, and so far reading the reviews has left me a little bit depressed because I havent found anything good about GJ so far and now I am wondering if moving there would be a mistake, he is working now and will be able to keep his job where ever we move so money would not be a problem and I stay at home with our girls so no need for me to find a job but what worries me is reading on the school district, drugs, and price of houses, as I have a daughter who is in kindergarten now and we are wanting to purchase a home, I am wondering if the drugs are as bad as people are saying and will my daughter get the education she needs? and will we be able to afford to buy a home? if anyone would like to give feedback please email me at larsonj85@hotmail.com

Although I don’t have kids, I’ve heard numerous time that schools score low so education system is not good & yes Meth is in the town.
