It is a lovely place but traffic is especially horrible during school drop off and pick up times and for sure around the rush hour times. The views of the lake and the wasatch front mountains from Saratoga Springs is amazing though!

what are the cheapest prices for sections in the area? not sure i could ever afford a house at those prices but would really love to go to byu (not wanting to rent anymore).
@scottgwalters29 күн бұрын
There are three mobile homes in the range of 79,900 to 135,000. There are two condos in the Camelot Village condos for 199,000 and 210,000. Then there are 8 other condos throughout Provo that range in price between 279,000 and 299,900. Those are the least expensive homes in Provo. Hope that helps and reach out to me with any other questions. I'd love to help buy in Provo.

Thank you for your question! Mapleton, Utah, does have a strong Latter-day Saint presence, with about 89% of the population identifying as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That’s a bit higher than the Utah County average of around 80% and significantly above the statewide average of about 61.5%. If you’re also considering the Salt Lake metro area, the numbers shift slightly. In Salt Lake County, about 48-50% of residents identify as Latter-day Saints, and in Salt Lake City itself, that number drops to roughly 35-40%. This reflects the diversity you’ll find in Utah’s larger urban areas, which can have a mix of cultural and religious backgrounds. Your move from Phoenix, which has its own vibrant Latter-day Saint community, might feel familiar in terms of cultural values in Utah Valley. But depending on where you settle-whether it’s Mapleton, Salt Lake City, or another area-you’ll encounter varying levels of diversity and community dynamics. I hope this helps as you weigh your options! Let me know if you have more questions about Mapleton or anywhere else in Utah. 😊. Hopefully all the stats are correct, I had google help me.:). But in my experience living very near Mapleton, you will find that the vast majority of the residents identify as LDS and that is reflected in the large number of lds churches you'll find there. Everywhere you look you'll see lds steeples which will look familiar to you as they generally have the same design as the lds churches you would see all over the Valley of the Sun. By the way I lived in the Phoenix area for 5 years back in the late 80's and early 90's. It still feels like a second home to me there. Welcome to Utah. You'll love it here.

It is a huge departure from what has been traditionally built in Mapleton. It used to only be large homes on big lots. But they have several developments going up on the south end of Mapleton that have lots of mixed used housing, including developments of townhomes, condos and single family homes. Feel free to reach out to me if you need help finding more homes or info on homes in Mapleton or the surrounding area. Thanks.

In Salem, loving neighbors, baseball, watching out for one another, keeping children and seniors safe, keeping it beautiful, minding your business when you should, and checking in to make sure everything is okay. It means everything. If it didn't well it wouldn't be my home town! The people there work hard, play hard, love each other as much as neighbors can. I remember back to one constable, one chapel and a small gas station by the old elementary school and riding bikes over to Payson Pool - the sign said, "Welcome to our "ool" notice there is no "P" in it. Let's keep it that way." 😁

Actual information about Provo, from someone who has lived here for 20 years: 1.) The lack of "night life" is not due to lack of demand. Provo City Council has banned brew pubs and the Utah Legislature has restrictions on locations for bars and any establishment that serves alcohol. These restrictions make most all of Downtown Provo ineligible, as Downtown has an LDS temple and two parks and any place that serves alcohol has to be at least 500 feet away from these facilities. 2.) Provo values ma and pop businesses, not chain stores. This means Provo has a lot of local restaurants. It's a surprisingly decent restaurant scene. For chain stores, you'll most likely have to go to Orem or Spanish Fork. 3.) Provo has beautiful historic homes surrounding its downtown. The core of the city is very walkable, has a bus rapid transit system, and is bike friendly. 4.) The Downtown Provo area and around BYU campus are politically purple, even slightly blue in some precincts. The west and north are red. If you leave Provo heading either north or south, it gets strongly conservative. 5.) Life is isolating if you aren't LDS. The downtown area has more diversity (religion, race, ethnicity) and is more LGBTQ friendly (just don't live in the 5-6 blocks south of BYU if you aren't a student or college-aged). Conversely, if you are LDS and want strong stable LDS wards (not student aged), look west and north. 6.) The grocery stores are located downtown. The west and southeast are a ways from a grocery store. 7.) Provo has top tier outdoor recreational access and opportunities. If you live near the bench you can hike from your house. Little Rock Canyon, Rock Canyon, Slide Canyon, and Slate Canyon are all great hikes. The BST and Provo River Trail are wonderful and connect into long distance regional trails. 8.) BYU sports are a good time. Big 12 football and basketball are both elite, but the under-the-radar sports of volleyball (men's and women's) and women's soccer are quite popular and have an excellent atmosphere. Whether you have ties to BYU, it is worth going. BYU rugby is also worth checking out. 9.) Provo is a very clean city but this comes at a cost. Provo City Council are sticklers when it comes to zoning. If you are over-occupied, rent illegally, park too long on the street, or don't quite keep up that old car out front, you will get a citation. They consistently make code enforcement their top priority. Make sure to know the rules.
