We are moving to Fruita, Colorado! Fruita is a small town near Grand Junction on Colorado’s western slope. It’s a quiet community with easy access to many outdoor destinations.
Despite encountering several Craigslist scams while searching, we found a rental we truly love. The location is ideal, the home is lovely (the photo above shows the house we’ll rent), and the rent fits our budget.
We put a lot of hope into this single property because options in the area were limited and rentals move quickly in this small county.
Nervous but hopeful, we submitted an application and were approved just a few days later.
The rent is $1,400 per month, which is higher than our current mortgage. Still, I’m comfortable with that figure because our maximum budget was $2,000 per month—an amount I preferred not to reach if possible.
You might wonder why we chose Fruita. It wasn’t on our radar before, so it’s the first time I’m sharing details about this small town on the blog.
