Are you ready to settle down and go from renter to homeowner? We don’t blame you! When you’ve found a place you’re confident you want to call home, there are advantages that homeownership brings that are hard to replace. Especially in a growing and thriving place like the Salt Lake Valley. But where to buy? Especially if you want to buy something new? We at Garbett Homes know one of the perfect places and would like to introduce, or re-introduce you to West Jordan. Read on to learn more about what makes this city the perfect place to buy your first home. 
 
Close to it All Without Being in the Heart of it All 
Being along the western most edge of the center of Salt Lake County, West Jordan grants its residents access to the jobs, restaurants, recreation and more of Salt Lake City, while still giving them some distance. Allowing homeowners to have a peaceful retreat at the end of their city excursions.  
 
Easy Commutes 
Let’s be honest, even if you work remotely you still have reasons to commute somewhere. Maybe it’s for the game, or a team building meeting, or to get to the airport for a vacation. No matter the case, whether it’s frequent or infrequent, for work or for pleasure, an easy commute matters. West Jordan’s access to Bangerter Highway, The Mountain View Corridor, and six Trax stations, not only grants its residents those needed easy commutes but enough options that you can commute in your preferred style. Wherever you need to go throughout the Salt Lake Valley. 
 
Popular 
West Jordan has been a popular place for young families to move to and live their Utah dreams for over 30 years. This consistent popularity means that the city is not a stranger to growth. Or the challenges that growth brings. West Jordan takes the time to prepare for the added infrastructure, needed access to retail, and other needs that a city requires as it grows. Meaning that when you buy a new home, townhome or any other type of residence, you aren’t as isolated compared to if you purchase somewhere else.  
 
Whether it’s your first home, your dream home, or your forever home. We at Garbett Homes believe that when you find the right home at the right location your life is elevated. Which is why we love to give homebuyers throughout the Salt Lake Valley, modern and comfortable homes they love.
