Only for the Rich.

I've lived in Grand Junction for 14 months and it is a nice area, but very expensive to live. There is an ongoing housing crisis due to poor city planning and it has lead to a shortage of affordable housing. The landlords are taking advantage of this situation and now if you want a one bedroom apartment need to make around $20.00 per hour or a two bedroom you will need to make $25.00 to $30.00 per hour. House are running about three times more than they sell for in another market. Food is very high. Lunch at a fast food place for two will run about $25.00. A lot of the apartments are in what I would call apartment slums. They are in areas where landlords have multiple apartment buildings that are out of the public's view and one step ahead of city zoning. They are poorly maintained and expensive. My advice is that if you want to live in Grand Junction you should bring your housing with you when you come.
