A couple of the major shopping centers are Oxbow Crossing and River Landing, which include retailers and restaurants such as Target, JCPenny, Applebees, Sports Authority, Natural Grocers, Pets Mart, Rib City, Ross, and so much more!
Montrose – West
Western Montrose and the Spring Creek area have always been known for great farm land and lush greenery. Today, Spring Creek offers some of the finest rural living in Western Colorado.
