Montrose, CO???

[Calbuck]

Looking at possible relocation from Northern Ca to Montrose...anybody live there or have any pros or cons of living there?

[In God We Trust]

Beside it is beautiful country with great hunting the biggest pro of all is it is not bankrupt California!

I have a buddy that lives very close to there. He loves it. My hunting partner hunt elk near there too and he also wants to move there.

How about the town itself? Family friendly? Schools? I figured the hunting and fishing would be good..bankrupt Kalifornia is EXACTLY why I'm looking to move!

go to thier chamber of commerce website, its a great town in my opinion! don't know about schools though bud which is way important for sure!

I have relatives there and I'm sure they were happy enough with the school system. I've always found the locals to be friendly when I visit. You won't be the first from California to move there. I don't believe the economy is growing much but it's not going too far backwards either. It looks like a real nice area if you have to live in the lower 48!

Montrose schools apparently rank much lower than nearby Delta schools.
