Vineyard is built on the 1700 acres of reclaimed Geneva Steel Factory land. It is a fully master planned community with several distinct neighborhoods comprised of condos, townhomes, 55+ homes, single family and high-end luxury homes. There is retail and even light industrial areas.

A small city, Lindon is a narrow strip that runs from Utah Lake to the base of Mt Timpanogos. Homes become increasingly expensive the higher they climb up the bench. Many neighborhoods allow horses and other animals. Many retail stores are nearby, including Walmart.

Alpine was named after a city in the Swiss Alps because the magnificent views and spectacular scenery were reminiscent of the famous village. There are older smaller homes but much of the city is composed of large, luxurious estates.

Cedar Hills is nearly all residential with only a Walmart center providing sales tax revenue. Most homes sit on good-sized lots and many have valley views. Canyon Rd connecting PG to Highland runs through the city and No County Blvd skirts the west.

American Fork has transformed into a retail heavy-weight with not only its charming downtown but a modern shopping center adjacent to I-15. One of the oldest cities in Utah, AF has homes dated from the 1800’s to brand new sub-divisions and condo complexes.

With its delightful old town plus the modern office buildings lining the freeway exits, PG has a home for nearly anyone. Large swaths of homes dotted with parks climb the bench of the Mt Timpanogos. Home parcels are typically good-sized and spread out.

Half-acre and larger lots are the norm in Mapleton although newer subdivisions with smaller parcels are part of the growth. Mapleton is a peaceful and quiet city that offers the ideal balance between small-town living and close proximity to large city amenities.

Salem is a small town surrounded by agriculture. It has been growing with new subdivisions but is still very much a bedroom community where most residents must commute for employment. In Salem you can be close to the government and your input and participation matter.

Thanksgiving Point is the most notable landmark in northern Utah County. The surrounding residential areas are in high demand due to all the technology businesses and easy commute to Salt Lake Valley and Provo/Orem. Residents love the abundant recreation and shopping.

This magnificent canyon sits just off of Provo and Orem. Homes and cabins are scarce with only a few pockets of housing. Just off the canyon is the very popular area of the Sundance Ski resort. Residents enjoy hiking, playing on the river, snow-shoeing, and spotting wild animals.

Homes within walking distance of BYU are highly desirable, even when older and unremodeled. There are dozens of condo and townhome complexes with single-family houses sprinkeled throughout. Before purchasing a home for a rental, check Provo’s rules and the parking.

UVU is now Utah’s largest University and nearby housing is increasingly popular. Several new condo complexes have sprung up nearby. Most nearby real estate is still single family homes with rental restrictions so research before purchasing a home for student rental.
