"Remote"

Grover is a small little town located just south of the Wyoming border. With only 138 residents there isn't much this town has to offer outside of dry, dusty summers and cold, windy winters. Most of the townspeople here work in waste management services. The average household income is $46,985 with a median priced home going for $48,528. Outside of town there are large plots of land for sale and you can get a good sized home on several hundred acres for around $300,000.

Although there isn't much to do in Grover since it's so remote, Pine Bluffs, Wyoming is only 4.8 miles away and Cheyenne, Wyoming is only 35 miles away. Pine Bluffs has over 1,000 residents so there are a couple of restaurant choices here, although for major grocery shopping or options when dining out, residents do need to travel a ways.
Pros
  • desolate beauty
  • quiet
Cons
  • depressed economically
  • far from Front Range
  • run down in some places

"Grover --might as well be Wyoming..."

Just about 10 miles shy of the Wyoming border, Grover is a small rural community with only about 150 people. Situated well east of I-25 and off any major highway, Grover is pretty remote, dry and it feels like you are already in Wyoming. There is some arable land that is farmed on the western edge of town, but this is not the rich well irrigated farms of Colorado's central plains down near Greeley. The dry sandy rocky soil of the area make farming difficult. This is the land of coyotes and natural gas pumps. A railroad town, there is the Grover Depot Museum established back in 1888. The area has been financial hit in the last few years (where hasn't anymore) and the cost of living is fair here but there are some run down areas.
Pros
  • quiet
  • desolate beauty
Cons
  • run down in some places
  • far from Front Range
  • depressed economically
