What do you want out of the city you buy a new home in? The tranquility of a quiet suburb? Or the liveliness of a big city? A good commute? Or access to outdoor recreation? A focus on family life? While most cities in the Salt Lake Valley offer a decent mix of these attributes. Here are some of our favorite cities in Utah for 2024.
Salt Lake City
Yes! Salt Lake City can be a great city to buy a home in! Amazing work opportunities in life sciences, energy, and finance sectors alone can make Utah’s state capital a great place to buy a home. Add in two universities, proximity to the Delta Center, restaurants, indoor skate parks, museums and shopping, there is so much to do after the workday is done. Easy access to public transit expands the opportunities even further. A city brimming with this much opportunity cannot be ignored on a list of great cities to buy a home!
Murray
If you’d rather be close to the action instead of in the heart of the action, Murray could be closer to your speed. Located minutes away from the interstate and major highways, and with similar commute times to Salt Lake City and Lehi. Utah’s two major industrial centers. It is the perfect place to build your life with everything you could want for work or play in easy reach. Add in a strong focus on community, and few cities can compete with this amazing location!
Midvale
If you want to live close to skiing and snowboarding but don’t want to pay ski resort town prices. Midvale is your city. This city is less than an hour away from world class ski resorts. Allowing you to have a Saturday of hitting the slopes and be home just in time for dinner. While the day-to-day aspects of Midvale life are amazing as well. With easy access to light rail, Rio Tinto stadium and a rapid commute to downtown. You have found a city that not only has a good home but sets you up for a good life.
Millcreek
Imagine being able to get off from work on a Friday afternoon and after a short pit stop at home you can arrive at your favorite campground before sundown. That’s what living in Millcreek is all about. Sitting high along the Salt Lake Valley’s east bench, Millcreek offers you quick access to the city and outdoor recreation. While the unique location between two interstates and the Wasatch Mountains creates a hidden cozy feel to this city. This is a place to not miss out on.
