OK so We're a young couple and Crime rate is something to consider -South Jordan sits at 94.0 per 100K. With a population of 80,331, South Jordan is a smaller city. Rent is about $1,806/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 1.5%, which is pretty low. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

As someone who grew up here, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. A lot has changed in the past few years though. healthcare used to be much established but now it's better than expected.

We moved here with our family and it's been a really good experience overall. Schools in Cedar Grove area are surprisingly good. Kids love it here.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a physical therapist who relocated here from San Diego about 2 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Property taxes are high
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are wild, gas is average.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. the quality of life is solid.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.
I've been here 5 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is tough.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
