"A great little mountain town"
Granby is a great little mountain town located in Northern Colorado. It is close to many wonderful outdoor adventures for those serious about hiking, camping, fishing, boating, backpacking, and hunting. The town itself has just under 2,000 residents and many of the homes in town are small, single family homes which are fairly reasonably priced. You can also buy some land with gorgeous views and build yourself, although the property up here can get expensive.
Over 87% of the population here is white and the most popular industries are construction, followed by accommodation and food services. The median household income is right in line with the rest of the state, although the in town housing prices are about $30,000 lower than the rest of the state. When it comes to politics, the residents here are just about down the middle of the road when it comes to voting Republican or Democrat.
There are a lot of tourists to this area, but it's the nature of the beast being there is so much to do here, and since many of the residents make their living off of them. Overall, I think this would be a nice little town to call home.

"Grand Granby"
So the parks and recreation for Granby gets a 5 star! Granby is the backdoor of Rocky Mountain National Park and the front door of beautiful Lake Granby. This area is spectacular and touristy. There are some homes that line the lake that are amazing and expensive. At about 8,000 feet in elevation this is a clean, cool change from Denver, especially lovely in the summer when the Front Range is so hot. This area would be a perfect investment property whose value is closely tied to the ever present and popular Rocky Mountain National.
The town of Granby started in 1904 along the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific Railway. Earlier, the Homestead Act of 1862 gave individuals a chance to own land and the scattered homesteads eventually became centered around the town once the railroad came in. Today, the average median household income is about $45,000, a bit higher than the average for Colorado.
