Split it and live in Spanish Fork

In Spanish Fork it's harder to find a larger that 1/4 acre lot.

Sadly true. I miss the fields and open spaces. Lots have remained 1/3-1/2

Easy to find bigger lots in Mapleton. Just expect to pay $200k+ for that .5 acre.

Don't forget Valhalla/Shangri La itself - Woodland Hills.

You have to love deer and scrub oaks to live in Woodland hills.

Definitely agree about the Harvard-Yale / Yalecrest neighborhoods.

I’ve always loved Eden/Huntsville area.

Draper is the best city in Utah

Been there, done that. No desire to go back. Too crowded now.

The Yalecrest neighborhood isn't getting crowded...

Tokolosh

6/13/18 4:08pm

The houses are generally a lot older tho correct? That may float some boats, not really mine tho, unless the house has

monkeycowboy

6/13/18 4:10pm

Many have been renovated. Plus the architecture is awesome in that area...

Tokolosh

6/13/18 4:14pm

But they’re also insanely expensive for the square footage you get, compared to other areas.

Ashtrash

6/13/18 4:16pm

No doubt.

I love that area. About 4 years ago there was an awesome buy on Michigan Ave

However, I would of been too close to the U and it killed it for me.

Most on this board would prefer a new construction cookie cutter home, though.

Or would prefer not to live amongst Ute fans....

It depends on age/family situation in a lot of ways I think.

It is. It's in Salem.

err, . . . yeah. I meant behind Salem. Oops. Thanks.

Everything is great about my area except the ward - East Murray/Cottonwood Hts.

Excellent report, and that settles it. Payson is clearly #1.

I don’t know the whole state but have visited multiple times, st George

The main knock on St. George is the summer heat.

Move to Hurricane. It's at least 3 degrees cooler.

HighHorse

6/13/18 5:21pm

I live in Gilbert, it’s usually a few degrees cooler in St George

mosterlow

6/13/18 6:12pm

Maybe 10 degrees cooler and cools off way more at night.

Sugarhood

So it's like a best of the worst list?

Kerbouchard

I enjoy living around "gentiles", just not the variety that seem to live in Utah

nc-puma

Or don't live in Utah, and live around normal gentiles.
