Working remotely from West Valley City — my experience
I've been working remotely from West Valley City for 10 years now. Here's my take:
The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.
Cost of living: pretty reasonable
Internet: Fiber available in most areas — no complaints
Coworking spaces: Limited but the library works in a pinch
If you're looking for a place to WFH, West Valley City is a solid choice.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 9/10.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Coming from San Francisco, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are slightly more expensive but housing makes up for it.

I work in healthcare and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 5 months.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Pine Grove. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.
