Many of the people who live in Dove Creek, were raised in Dove Creek so
there is definitely an everybody knows everybody feel in town. Yet, the locals
there are welcoming and friendly to newcomers. They don’t necessarily take
kindly to city slickers seeking to make too many changes, but if you want to
move in, put your kids in school and make a quiet living in town, you are more
than welcome. Once you spend some time there, you will realize that Dove Creek
is really a big village where people take care of one another as if they were
family.
If you seek that small town atmosphere or you want to raise your children in
a place that still believes in old fashioned values, maybe Dove Creek is your
next home. The lifestyle is slow, the rent is low and the people are golden.
If you are interested, come for a visit. We are located 35 miles north of Cortez,
Colorado on Hwy. 491 (formerly Hwy. 666).
You can get a room at the Country Inn Motel (970-677-2234), visit with the
locals over coffee in the morning at the deli in the Superette Grocery Store,
take a dip in the swimming hole down at the Bradfield
Bridge, then get a burger at the
Lunch Box. Maybe you’ll find a new home, who knows?
