These are the 20 best places to live in Utah, study says

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Moving to Utah but not sure where to find a place to live? A recent study from Niche ranks the best suburbs, towns, and neighborhoods across the United States in 2024, giving a good insight into where to start looking in the Beehive State.

The study used data from the U.S. Census and several other sources, studying statistics such as schools, crime, cost of living, job opportunities, housing costs and more.

Their findings? Salt Lake City is the best city to live in with several neighborhoods claiming the top spot.

A quick search through the best places to live in Utah reveals the Greater Avenues neighborhood as the prime place to be in Utah. The Avenues – located just northeast of downtown Salt Lake City – earned an overall “A+” grade thanks to high rankings for its commute, health and fitness, outdoor activities, public schools and being good for families.

“Living in Greater Avenues offers residents an urban and suburban mix feel and most residents rent their homes,” Niche reported.

The area around Liberty Park just south of downtown took the next two spots with the Central City/Liberty-Wells neighborhood ranking second and the East Liberty Park ranking third.
