Moving to Provo

Tied with West Jordan for the third-largest city in Utah, Provo is part of the state's second-largest metropolitan area after Salt Lake City. Located right between Utah Lake and Sundance Ski Resort, in the gorgeous Utah Valley, this charming college town is a great choice for nature lovers.

Whether you choose to move to lively downtown Provo, a quiet neighborhood like Edgemont, or a luxury home in Grand View North, there's more to this city than meets the eye and we are going to discover it together.

Where Education and Business Meet

Provo is a growing center for technology development and has become an important tech area in Utah in the past years, drawing in more and more international and Fortune 500 companies with its low cost of living and beautiful scenery. Other areas of economic development that the city is focusing on are manufacturing, education, and life science, with considerable investments in a medical tech and innovation hub in south Provo.

The presence of the private Brigham Young University (BYU) helps with providing qualified staff to start-ups and expanding companies, as most students here choose to major in Business, Management, Marketing, Biomedical Sciences, or Engineering. BYU is sponsored by LDS Church and thus puts a lot of emphasis on foreign languages. This is because many students are Latter-day Saint missionaries and learning a foreign language helps in their missions. While only LDS students benefit from discounted tuition, all those attending BYU must adhere to the Honor Code inspired by the principles of the Church of Jesus Christ.

Fun Things To Do in Provo All Year Long

Provo has cold, snowy winters and hot, dry summers. This and its proximity to Utah Lake and the mountains open it up to a wide range of outdoor activities throughout the year, the most popular being:

• Hiking to Bridal Veil Falls or along the Squaw Peak Trail
• Rock climbing in Provo Canyon
• Skiing at Sundance Mountain Resort
• Boating, swimming, and fishing at Deer Creek Reservoir
• Biking, jogging, and rollerblading on the Provo River Parkway Trail
• Wakeboarding, paddle boarding, and kayaking on Utah Lake
• Zip lining across the Wasatch Mountains

If sports and nature are not your cup of tea, there are plenty of other fun things to do in and around Provo. For instance, you could visit one of its many museums and art centers, go to the Splash Summit Waterpark or the Provo Beach adventure park, or enjoy shopping, entertainment, and dining at the Shops at Riverwoods complex.

Quick Advice Before Relocating to Provo

Besides the variety of outdoor activities, the four-season climate that Provo features also means that moving here requires additional storage space for winter sports, fishing, and water sports equipment. It would be a good idea to check out available storage units in Provo before relocating and opt for climate-controlled units.

Students and businesses will also benefit from Provo self-storage as small units are ideal for archiving documents and storing school books and papers during summer.

While diversity is still something the city has to work on, it has become more open and accepting toward other religions and backgrounds in recent years. This being said, you should know that by moving to Provo, you are signing up to be part of a tight-knit and safe community, with a more toned-down nightlife than other places.
