"A small town northeast of Grand Junction with a good cost of living"
De Beque is a small town along I-70 about 40 minutes outside of Grand Junction. Other than a few subdivisions and ranch/farm land there isn't much here. In town is a gas station with a Subway and there is a new restaurant that has just opened. On the west side of the highway you can see a lot of houses and on the east side there are a few old farms which look as if they are still in use. The homes are mostly small single family with a lot of mobile homes, but it doesn't resemble an ill looking mobile home park at all. The homes (including the mobile ones) are well tended and have nice yards with fencing around them, groomed lawns, and nice shrubbery for the most part.
The median household income in De Beque is $63,069 which is almost $8,000 over the Colorado average, but the housing prices are much lower, although this does include the prices of mobile homes. But if you don't mind smaller homes, the cost of living here is pretty good. For shopping, residents have to travel to either Grand Junction or Glenwood Springs, and although Grand Junction is closer, I would prefer the drive to Glenwood Springs as it is such a great town.
As far as industry is concerned, construction is prevalent with education and mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction not far behind.

"De Baque is a little town just east of Grand Junction"
De Beque is a small town just east down the interstate from Grand Junction, the outskirts of GJ blend in and you are in De Beque before you realize it. The beautiful Colorado river and its green valley continue along the highway and water the many farms, ranches and orchards of the area.
Like Grand Junction the industry of construction rental and heavy equipment sale and repair as well as the trucking industry dominate the view off I70. There are no visible restaurants or shops nor hotels here and I imagine that most people living in De Beque go into Grand Junction for most or all of their goods and groceries.
Elk Horn Construction and a gas station with a Subway are about it, but up to the north of the interstate there is a pretty little neighborhood/town area and some farms and ranches on both side of I70. This would be a nice place to start (or continue) a little farm or ranch, the road to the north goes up into another smaller green valley with a few more farms.
