For those of us who live in Salt Lake City, we know all about the top five reasons to live in Salt Lake City. And, it seems, people who don’t live here (yet) are also learning why Salt Lake City is such a great place to call home. There are many great places to live in this great nation of ours, but none of them possess all the wonderful qualities you find in Salt Lake City.

Here are the Top Five Reasons to live in Salt Lake City

  1. Strong Job Market – Utah has the top ten states when it comes to low unemployment. Utah has a median income of $60,922 while Salt Lake City has a median income of $62,642, both above the nation average of $53,657.  Utah has a robust tech industry attracting young talent from all over the nation.
  2. Fitness – Whether you’re into skiing or snowboarding or some other new fangled winter sport, you’ll find the best powder here. If mountain biking is your thing you’ll find it here too. Into more urban biking? Salt Lake City has over 150 miles of bike lanes, multi use trails, shared lanes and off road tracks.
  3. Sundance Film Festival – Sundance churns out hits but it also brings in the stars. Every winter the town fills with celebrities. Great people watching.
  4. Great Salt Lake – The lake is 75 miles long and 35 miles wide and it’s really salty so you can float much easier than even the ocean.
  5. Most Generous – It’s really no surprise that the people of Utah, and Salt Lake City are generous but did you know they actually give homes to the homeless? Policymakers realized it’s cheaper to give homes, and provide a social worker, to the homeless than it is to pay for emergency room visits and jail stays. It’s a win for everyone.

These are just five reasons why Salt Lake City is a great place to live. If you’re looking to make Salt Lake City your home give us a call and we’ll help you build the home of your dreams, right here in Salt Lake!
