Rent vs buy in Pleasant Grove -what makes sense?
First post here. Been living here since 2012. You can expect to pay around $1,588 for rent here. It's a a smaller city city with about 37,544 people. Household incomes average around $96,347 in Pleasant Grove. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Lots of new development
- Active local events
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Cold winters
- Not enough green space
Would love some local perspective. Any help is appreciated. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
