I live here already. The mountains of Utah, 30 minutes from BYU. My house was very affordable on my salary alone and is 5000 square feet. I have a whole acre of forest for a backyard and I'm a short walk from trails into the mountains that I can explore for hours.
BYU being close is great because the town has an amazing food and music scene for it's size. BYU has a great art museum and does concerts regularly. Bands you've heard of like Neon Trees, Imagine Dragons, and Kaskade all got their start in Provo.
I think there are probably countless places that are 30 minutes from a large University that would check all these boxes.
- nerdwaller 6y agoI lived in SLC for a bit and loved it there, I can only imagine how great it is further out from the city. Utah seemed undiscovered at the time, and since leaving our house value has skyrocketed near Liberty Park, and tech has exploded. It seems the local term is "the silicon slopes", which is creative.

- rtkaratekid 6y agoI’ll just mention that I personally like SLC better because it’s less dense than Utah valley. Things are getting pretty crowded there. But this is coming from a guy who’d live in the middle of rural nowhere if I had a remote job and access to internet :)
