Thank you for the information. I grew up in Southern Utah, specifically St. George, and moved to Salt Lake to attend college at the U. For the last 15 years after college, I have lived in all the places you mentioned except Daybreak. All those places you've highlighted are solid choices. My favorite place, and where I'm living now and probably will until I retire, is the Avenues in Salt Lake. It's a fantastic historical neighborhood. We've put a lot of emphasis on walkable communities and being less dependent on cars. A highly walkable neighborhood is a must for me, and the Avenues fit this description. I can walk to work, and it only takes me 15 minutes, or I can ride my bike, and it takes me 5 minutes. I can walk to any events or establishments downtown SLC offers. It's truly incredible to be able to do this. For the active person, the Avenues is only 25 minutes away from any ski resorts you mentioned in the video. City Creek Canyon, Bonneville Shoreline Trail, and King's Peak are also for hikers and bikers that are 5 minutes away. The housing prices are astronomically high, but as the old saying goes about real estate, the most important thing is location, location, and location.
Surprised you skipped over Park City so quickly as it’s the place to be. Best snow skiing, snowmobiling, Live outdoor concerts, close to lakes for water skiing and fishing, numerous authentic restaurants, great shopping, art galleries. Beautiful hotels and spas, awesome vibes.
Nice video and good info. On your last area, Suncrest, I actually live up here and have lived here for 16 years. I love it up here and wouldn’t trade it for the world. With that said I’d just like to say, I’ve seen quite a lot of families come and go over those years and a lot of them end up leaving quickly because of one major reason, the snow. We get a lot of snow up here. 22/23 winter we got a total snowfall accumulation of 20 feet, 240 inches. It’s no joke and quite a bit different than the valley or even the bottom of the hill in Draper. If you, or anyone looks to coming up this way please take that into mind and be prepared. Still, it’s an awesome place with awesome people, the sense of community is strong in part because we do get those massive snow storms, where we are literally digging out a neighbor or going to pull a stuck vehicle out of the ditch. Just thought I’d mention that, thanks!
Hello Scott as a fellow Utah RUclipsr (10 cow ranch and badlands ballistics). I found you video interesting. I have a small cattle ranch in Carbon County. I would like to see some small growth come here but not to be overloaded. I love the small town feel.
I would not move to most of these places but I would consider a lot of the rest of the state if you can find a job. Moab, St. George, anywhere South of Price. Once again, the job is the hard part but it is incredibly beautiful!
We were looking at moving there but from the comments it sure doesn’t sound like the residents want new homes/ people there. I can relate , our once Beautiful Town has been destroyed from Hollywood filming TWD here. They let new homes get built to where you honestly can’t recognize this city anymore. I can say we’re not rude to the new people here even though we sure didn’t vote for our town to be overgrown like this. It’s not the peoples fault that they wanted away from Cali & NY and to move to a safe area. Our councilmen just got caught with his hands in the real estate business while explains why he approved all the building without the infrastructure to support all the new homes. Good Old Boys still doing back room deals . It’s really sad . We just want to move as close to off the grid as possible and be blessed with a nice group of people around us .
This was helpful. I’m in Bend, OR now and I’m considering Utah. As a bonus It would be a relatively easy commute with my dog from SLC and surrounding areas to St. George for a couple months to take a break from winter. Thanks!
Wet visited my sister in bend, and I think you’d be disappointed moving to Utah. Utah beautiful nature but it’s CROWDED. I feel like it’s easier to spend time in nature and not feel overrun by humans in bend
@@scottdsteeleid love info on St George or areas that are warmer in winter in general. We're from the South and definitely would prefer less harsh winters
Rally waiting your video about cons of Daybreak. But let me guess... it's HOA and it's goes up every year? Based on listings Daybreak have different HOA based on home location. It's unusual for HOA, but looks like interesting idea.
The Master HOA covers the entire community including single family homes while the sub HOA fees vary barred on which townhome or condominium complex it covers and therefore they cost more as those exteriors are the responsibility of the HOA
Funny fact: Utah is known for its outdoor activities but, be aware that locals HATE new people to go to their best trails and hikes , like if they owned public space😂. You will have a hard time trying to find the best of Utah and locals will do whatever is in their hands to keep you away from those gems
I've lived here my entire life and haven't experienced this whatsoever. There a vocal minority who spread their opinions online and perhaps there are people like this... I've never seen it though
@@scottdsteele 😂😂😂yeah right man, keep lying just for content … people are not dumb, everyone can just simply take a look at the comments on IG or TikTok of any publication from places here in Utah, as simple as that…
If you or anyone believes that the comment section of social media platforms is a healthy barometer to find the truth or even a decent place to find information, I can tell you it's not.
Yeah straight up. We don’t like foreigners coming in and flooding our trails. Big cottonwood is a tourist town at this point and we all hate it and are not nice to you non locals
Thanks for sharing! There are countless places that I did not mention because everybody has their own likes and dislikes, etc. This video is about where I would like to live and doesn't have to be for everyone
Hey thanks Devin for noticing. I'm running a business, my family and so much more and sometimes if there's a mistake, it's possible that it doesn't mean anything more than being human. I now pay an editor who helps me because each minute of video is over a half hour of work for planning, filming, post production with B-roll clips like this one you've pointed out.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! I'm so happy that you love living in the Avenues and yes, I agree that home prices are crazy.

I am actually creating a long video just about living in Park City coming up this next week! I love it there
Great video, Scott! Love the tips on the best places to live in Utah!
Thank you!!

Thank you SO much for sharing Jared! It is amazing how much more snow you do get up there.
I live in Daybreak and love it so much!! It’s incredible!
Hello Neighbor! Thanks for sharing @kmarie2362

That's awesome! I used to live just outside of price in Carbonville and attended Mt. Harmon Jr HS before moving away

You're spot on! Where are you from originally?
We were looking at moving there but from the comments it sure doesn’t sound like the residents want new homes/ people there.

Well we would love to have you! The tiny vocal minority that is outspoken here in the comments isn't even close to the experience you'll have here
Don’t move to Utah
Why?
as a Utahan. I hope you don't. it'd be great if more people took that same approach.
People are moving here regardless
We coming 😂
Welcome💥

That's why we love it here... it's perfect for a dog and the places to escape to are amazing (like St. George)
Wet visited my sister in bend, and I think you’d be disappointed moving to Utah. Utah beautiful nature but it’s CROWDED. I feel like it’s easier to spend time in nature and not feel overrun by humans in bend
You're correct, there at far more people here
Im surprised saint george didn't make the list. Warm climate all year round, plus less only an hour and 45 from Las vegas!
You're right! I do love it there and it's amazing
@@scottdsteeleid love info on St George or areas that are warmer in winter in general. We're from the South and definitely would prefer less harsh winters
Got it! I'm going to St George very soon and I'll do just that
Yalecrest is tough to beat if you want to be in the Salt Lake area
My favorite neighborhood!

Negativety just breeds more negativety. Best wishes
I like how you do not mention West Valley City, only 5 minutes to 21st south I-215 and I-15 10 minutes to downtown SLC and 20 minutes to Park City.
Thanks for sharing! There are countless places that I did not mention because everybody has their own likes and dislikes, etc. This video is about where I would like to live and doesn't have to be for everyone
West valley is pretty ghetto
Everyone is entitled to what they prefer... it's as simple as that
Thanks for the info! I want to be in Utah by 2025!
Let's make it happen!
Ogden is great…but please don’t tell anyone!
Lol, ok
What about southern Utah? Great video btw
Thanks Brant! Yes, St. George and other areas like Cedar City need some videos
"The views of Mt. Timpanogos" proceeds to display a photo of Cascade Mountain. 😂 Tell me you're a poser without telling me you're a poser.
