Population about 150,000 in the metropolitan area and growing like crazy. Zion National Park about 30 minutes away and Vegas two hours south. Weather a bit better than Phoenix and Vegas because of higher elevation–5-10 degrees cooler in summer and winter.
Because of its growth, everything is new there–stores, housing developments, national chains, etc. Everything within about a ten minute drive, on great roads, and I-15, which runs through it.
The people are young, have conservative politics, good schools (they largely did not close down from COVID, and in gyms few wear masks), no visible homeless people, and economy booming. Yes, I’ll invest in RE there.
The people are about two-thirds Mormon, which we are just fine with. Makes for large, healthy-looking families, hard workers, clean government, old-fashioned family values, low taxes.[/quote]
