Clifton & Southeast grand junction
Fun-Adjacent Living
HOUSING
Lots of new and newer single-family neighborhoods, with some townhomes, condos and apartments. There are a couple of new developments in Clifton that capitalize on the great views and proximity to the Colorado Riverfront Trail, including Palisade Legends, which features not-quite-tiny homes in a high-amenity neighborhood. There are some homes on large lots or acreage, although those tend to be on the eastern edge of the area, as it transitions toward Palisade.
PUBLIC PLACES TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS
The Corn Lake section of the Colorado Riverfront Park system is in the southeast area, with picnic areas, river access and a pond for fishing. The Colorado Riverfront Trail runs through the state park.
The Clifton Nature Park offers walking trails, ponds for fishing and access to the Colorado Riverfront Trail, with free parking for those who hop on the trail from the nature center.
ENTERTAINMENT, SHOPPING OR DINING
Yes to all three, as there are several restaurants, bars and clubs near the 32 Road corridor, along with various retail options.
SCHOOLS
