Benefits of Living in Utah

Don’t let Utah’s reputation as a hub for religion and conservative values fool you. Utah is having a moment, and many people are moving to the area to take advantage of excellent business opportunities, a sound education system, and beautiful natural parks. While you might have a bit of culture shock moving from New York to Utah for the first few months, the friendliness of the people will win you over in no time. Take a few moments to take in the stunning natural beauty and the lively music scene, and you will realize you made the right decision by moving west. Here are some reasons many people choose to move to Utah.

Utah Has Great National Parks

After California and Alaska, Utah has more national parks than any U.S. state. The five national parks in Utah are Zion, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Arches, and Capitol Reef. These national parks offer outstanding recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, and canyoneering. You can also take in the stunning red rock formations from the safety of your car or tour bus. Make sure you don’t miss out on Delicate Arch, a 52-foot freestanding natural red rock arch located in Arches National Park near Moab.

Utah’s Job Market Is Booming

Many of Utah’s small towns, including St. George and Cedar City, were recently named among the best places in the U.S. to start a business. Among other reasons, Utah is an excellent place for business because of the highly educated population and the low business costs. Utah also has a booming job market, and the unemployment rate remains low. Salt Lake City and Provo, two of the state’s largest cities, regularly make national lists for their strong job markets. Further, Utah was recently named one of the best places for creative job seekers by SmartAsset.

Salt Lake City Is Lively

Salt Lake City has a reputation as a buttoned-up city with no nightlife scene. The reality is quite different. There are numerous bars, restaurants, and clubs in the city that offer an opportunity to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. Salt Lake City is also consistently named one of the best cities for LGBTQ residents, with plenty of festivals, organizations, and discrimination laws in place.

Salt Lake City Is a Travel Hub

Do you regularly travel for work and pleasure? Salt Lake City could be an excellent place for you to live. Utah’s capital city is Delta’s western hub and is a significant center for plenty of other airlines. The Salt Lake City International Airport recently underwent a major renovation and now has more amenities than ever.

Utah Hosts the Sundance Film Festival

The Sundance Film Festival is hosted each January in Park City, Utah. The film festival not only provides significant revenue to support Utah’s economy, but it is an excellent opportunity for locals to watch for celebrities. Head up to Park City in January and enjoy the ski slopes after taking in an independent film viewing or two.

Utah Has a Low Crime Rate

Compared to many U.S. states, especially New York, Utah ranks extremely low when it comes to crime rates. Utah has very few violent crimes per year, and most cities in the state experience low rates of nonviolent crimes too. While the Salt Lake City area has a bit of an issue with nonviolent crime, the state is an incredibly safe place to live overall.

Winter Sports are King in Utah

As the host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Utah has an established winter sports infrastructure. Whether you are a ski enthusiast or you want to try a non-traditional sport such as luge, Utah has the facilities and weather to make it happen. Utah is home to numerous world-class ski resorts, including Deer Valley, Alta, Snowbasin, Sundance, Brian Head, and more. The ski scene in Utah rivals the conditions in many other winter sport hotspots, including Vail, Breckenridge, and Banff.

Utah Is a Flat-Tax State

Utah residents enjoy a flat state income tax rate of 5%. While other U.S. states have variable tax rates, Utah residents always know what to expect. Further, property taxes in Utah are lower than in New York, and Utah has no estate tax.

Utah Has a Lively Music Scene

Believe it or not, Utah has a diverse music scene. Many famous bands, including Neon Trees and Imagine Dragons, have origins in Utah and often return to the area to perform. Utah also has concerts for every music taste. Saltair is a music complex that regularly hosts well-known artists and music festivals, including Green Day and The Ramones. Further, the Twilight Concert series takes place in Utah each summer, and thousands flock to the area to hear top artists such as The Black Keys perform.

Utah Has a Diverse Economy

Not only is Utah a great place to do business, but the state’s economy is diversified. The state generates a large amount of yearly revenue from industries including agriculture, tourism, finance, and mining. If you are moving to Utah and need a job, you are likely to find a position that suits your interests and background.
