Visit- yes / live in Montrose- NO!

Montrose may be surrounded by great outdoor opportunities but that is only the real positive. High utility rates, higher than national average in home prices, gas, and food coupled to a town with very few decent employment possibilities. Climate is definitely on the chilly side for 6 months and access to a wider selection of goods and services unfortunately is 65 miles away in Grand Junction. People here are civil but not overly friendly, and there is a hardcore drug problem that taken root. Spend 2-3 weeks here in September when the weather is warm and dry and the changing colors are at their peak...and then leave. Montrose is mostly sub par.
