Grand Junction, CO

20 Apartments for Rent with Washer-Dryers

On the surface, Grand Junction is a sportsman’s paradise. The city has a small town feel in the midst of Colorado’s breathtaking natural beauty and easy access to great hunting and fishing. Since it is west of the Rockies, it boasts a distinctly arid climate with little precipitation throughout both the winter and summer months.

A boom in oil drilling within the last 20 years has caused a rush on Grand Junction rentals. Pair that with the thriving health care industry and you’ll find a lot of transient residents who are desperate for rentals. This can be both good and bad for you. You’ll find a lot of rental properties with flexible leases and new developments with furnished apartments for rent. You may just have to fight tooth and nail to secure a good one.

Be prepared because there is a dearth of cheap apartments available in Grand Junction, and the most affordable ones may be in ill-maintained buildings in less than desirable neighborhoods. The Appleton and Redlands neighborhoods in the north and far western sections respectively are generally considered more desirable (and definitely more expensive) than the rest of Grand Junction. Here you can find a wide variety of luxury townhomes and apartment buildings, frequently featuring clubhouses, gyms, and pools. Be prepared to pay between $900-1300 a month for these rentals.

The rest of Grand Junction is a bit spottier in terms of safety and desirability. The city center and the adjacent are surrounding Mesa College have higher crime rates than the rest of city, but a number of cheap apartments. If you end up settling in this area, scour your block and complex before committing. Rents here generally range from $600-900.

If you’re looking for single-family rental homes, look to the south in the Orchard Mesa neighborhood. Here there are many detached rental properties available for $800-1000. Try to stay well within the borders of Grand Junction, as neighboring towns—including Clifton to the east—don’t have a great reputation.

But what about Fido and Fluffy? How will they take to their new locale? Well, as I said, Grand Junction has some pretty epic outdoors and the rental market is tailored to our furry friends. Most rentals in the area will be pet-friendly, just be sure to confirm it on your lease before signing the dotted line.

So, welcome to Grand Junction! Though the rental market may be a bit competitive, with some time, energy and gumption, you’ll be able to secure your dream rental right in the heart of this beautiful Colorado town. See more

Finding apartments with a washer and dryer in Grand Junction offers more freedom and flexibility to your weekends. Throwing in the laundry before work or a Saturday afternoon bike ride and finishing it up later is inconvenient, if not impossible, without your own set-up.

There are a few things to keep in mind while looking for apartments with a washer and dryer in Grand Junction. Ask how old the appliances are before you sign. A washer and dryer over 10-years-old may need to be serviced regularly or have an expired warranty. You should also ask the property management who services the washer and dryer. Some leases stipulate that the landlord will pay for repairs to an essential appliance like oven or refrigerator, but require the tenant to service the washer and dryer.

Finding apartments with a washer and dryer in Grand Junction can go quickly, so come prepared with your bank statements, pay stubs, identification, and letters of recommendation to sign your new lease.
