What BestPlaces Users Say about Logan
Logan, Utah is a small city located in northern Utah with a population of approximately 50,000. It is home to Utah State University and offers a mix of suburban and rural living. It has been recognized as one of the safest cities in the state and has a strong economy with a low unemployment rate. However, like any place, it has its pros and cons. Many people have shared their experiences living in Logan on the website BestPlaces.net. Here are just a few excerpts from different reviewers, giving a range of perspectives on the city.
- "I have lived in Logan for over 20 years and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. The community is tight-knit and friendly, and the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains is breathtaking. However, the job market is limited and the cost of living is high. But for me, the pros definitely outweigh the cons." - Jennifer N.
- "Logan is a great place to raise a family. The schools are excellent and there are plenty of recreational activities for kids. However, the winters can be brutal and the air quality is not the greatest due to the inversion. Nonetheless, I am happy to call Logan my home." - Mark W.
- "I moved to Logan for college and ended up staying for a few years after graduation. While I enjoyed my time there, I found the city to be a bit on the conservative and homogenous side. It's definitely not a place for those seeking a diverse and bustling city life. But if you enjoy a slower pace and outdoor activities, Logan might be a good fit for you." - Rachel P.
- "I have lived in several different cities in Utah and Logan is by far my favorite. The cost of living is reasonable, the crime rate is low, and there is a strong sense of community here. Plus, the proximity to the mountains makes it an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts. The only downside is the lack of diversity, but overall, I love living in Logan." - Alex L.

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly - 5/9/2007
THE GOOD
- No matter where you live, you have breathtaking views almost 360 degrees.
- Low crime
- Good place to raise a family
- Affordable place to live
- Slower-paced life
- Enough amenities to suffice for a city lover
- Educational options
- A handful of religious options other than LDS
- The LDS make great neighbors: clean, quiet and nice.
- Hiking and outdoor activities galore within minutes
THE BAD
- If your child isn't LDS they commonly get ostracized to some degree in public schools, even starting in 1st grade.
- If you're not LDS, you literally have a neighbor assigned to proselytize you.
- Jobs, though available, pay less than other places.
THE UGLY
- LDS controls politics, the courts, everything. You are truly at their mercy and, as with any area that's dominated with one affiliated group of people, they will side with their people.

Enough for many, lacking for some - 6/16/2006
Logan is nice because it's fairly small, but you have everything you need. 2 hospitals, a small mall, walmart and enough businesses and restaurants to satisfy basic needs. Having Utah State University at Logan's heart is a great intellectual addition, especially with the visually stunning new library just erected. There is a good sized group of international students at USU, and they hold various cultural events which adds some nice diversity to Logan. However, Logan is predominantly LDS (Mormon), and if you do not share the faith you might find Logan very "undiverse," even with the characteristics I mentioned above. During the summer Logan attracts senior citizens, and this brings high-quality shows and events to Logan. The climate tends to be about 5-10 degrees colder, on average, than Salt Lake City, and the inversion is a huge problem. On "red days," when the air quality levels are dismal enough, everyone is encourage to stop driving and take public transportation and
