FAQ's about moving to Utah
Will he fit in if we're not Mormon ? (LDS)
Many people moving to Utah from out-of-state ask this same thing.
While about half of Salt Lake City's population is LDS, that means the other half is not. The Salt Lake area is very diverse and accepting off all people of all faiths or no faith at all. I personally have found some of the very best people I have ever met are LDS families who are loving, kind, generous, accepting and whom trust me with their most important transactions in their life; and I am honored to be their friend. I am sure you will "fit in" just fine and find lots of friends who share your same interests and beliefs.
How easy is it to travel in and out?
Salt Lake City is a Delta hub. It has one of the largest airports in the country, which gives you more options for travel anywhere in the country or the world.
I don't ski. What else is there to do?
Well if you don't ski, you may want to try skiing or snow boarding at one of the many worlds best ski resorts close by, but there is so much more to Utah besides skiing. How about nature hiking, nature photography, mountain trail biking, ATV's and off-roading, professional sporting events, live concerts and events, great arts and cultural events and so much more that you would expect in any big city.
How do I find the best neighborhoods?
That is very subjective and everyone will have their own opinion on what makes a neighborhood great. A good start would be to talk to a local and knowledgeable agent who will listen to what is important to you and help show you many neighborhoods that fit your needs and price range. A good agent will help get you going in the right direction, and our buyers agents are free for home buyers.
