Pros and Cons; culture, weather, taxes, medicine - 6/20/2023
I have lived in the same house here for 20 years. There are definitely pros and cons. Pros; you can pretty much shop for whatever you need/want with a 20 minute drive in any given direction (no matter what culture it comes from). The medical here has many skilled people, be it western medicine, or Asian medicine, or functional medicine. I have tried all three, my health has never been my strong point. Lots of skill and talent here in medicine. (but a lot of frustrating and expensive and ineffective conveyor belt medicine as well). There is less crime for a city, the troubling violent crimes are rare. Though we are 2 suburbs away from the heavier crime in the SLC county. West Jordan city keeps upgrading over the years and it seems to keep crime at bay. West Jordan is also generally less expensive propeties than other parts of the county. Psychiatry/social emotional wellness, is a disaster here, (not only are the workers overrun, the people who lead the political sway in mental health,

Close to shopping and freeways - 7/29/2010
West Jordan is a very nice place to live. Home prices are reasonable as you can obtain a much larger and newer home for the money compared to other more established cities in Salt Lake County. There are plenty of newer and spacious homes available with large back yards. One of the drawbacks is the lack of mature trees and tree lined streets. Many of the yards are not secluded and require planting trees to obtain this feature. Also, many roads are very congested while traveling east to west as there are few choices and at peak driving times, this can be a

Too big for me... - 6/28/2010
I moved to the Salt Lake metro area 2 years ago. There is plenty to do and shopping is great. Favorite restraunts are only minutes away. However the hustle and bustle of the city is ever prevelant. This is a personal opinion and other families would probably thrive here just because the real estate is affordable (except for renting)and so is the cost of living.

Climate Overview - 4/9/2009
Spring: Cool moist winds from the NW, hot dry winds from the south (AZ) make for less than desirable springs in UT as temps fluctuate wildly. These conditions can bring 70-degree temps one day and snow the next (not a joke).
Summer: Hot and dry. UT is the 2nd driest state in the union behind AZ. Temps hover in the mid to upper 90's for about two months, but humidity is typically in the single-digits making it quite comfortable. July sees monsoon conditions and a fair amount of t-storms as warn moisture moves north from Baja California.
Autumn: Cool crisp winds from the north balance out the waning warmth provided by ample sunshine during this time.
Winter: Quite probably the wettest season in northern UT, winter sees average temps in the 20s and 30s. Salt is used on the roads here, so be mindful of a clean car come springtime or your car's paint may become victim to the brine solution that is used

Quality of Life - Salt Lake Valley - 1/3/2008
My wife and I have lived in West Jordan for the past 12 years. It was a great place to live, but the Salt Lake Valley is gaining in popularity and there are something like 50,000 people moving into the valley each year. It has become very crowded here and the air pollution is horrible. We've always had problems with air quality as the mountain ranges on both side of the valley trap the air and you need a storm to come through and blow it out. Now it gets worse and worse with all the new homes and vehicles. You can see the pollution just hanging in the valley when you go to the mountains.
Over all though, West Jordan and the rest of the Salt Lake valley pretty much has all of the dining and entertainment and recreation you could want and we are minutes from some of the best skiing/snowboarding in the country and going to the mountains does help you get up above all the pollution.
Overall, it's a nice place to live if you can get past the pricey cost of

All my life. - 1/14/2007
I have lived in West Jordan for 16 years now and have found it to be almost the perfect place to live. With a 30 min. drive to some of the best ski/snowboarding in America, and a 10 min. drive in any direction to all kinds of entertainment, this has been a spectacular place to grow
