American Fork, Utah
Population: 21,941
Located in Utah County
American Fork is a great mix of small-town integrity and contemporary development. Discovered by trappers from the American Fur Company - who trapped along the river that starts on the south slopes of Mount Baldy, or Bald Mountain - the town was settled by Mormon pioneers. It is now Utah's 15th-largest city with a population of some 21,000. In recent years, the area has been attracting a number of high-tech firms due to its educated workforce, low business costs and excellent quality of life. Just minutes from American Fork's quaint Main Street is the new Utah Valley Business Park, home of Dentrix and Intel. Home prices are very affordable. Condominiums are available for less than $100,000. Single-family homes start at just over $100,000 and run to $300,000 or more, but what a house! Views here are spectacular, one of the many reasons why so many settlers decided to live here, instead of moving further west. Hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, mountain-biking, and water sports of all kinds are favorite pastimes in the summer months. Hunting, snowmobiling, ice climbing, downhill and cross-country skiing satisfy the adventurous during the colder months of the year. The city's central location puts it within a half-day's drive of fifteen national parks, monuments, and recreation areas - the largest concentration of such attractions in any state south of Alaska. American Fork has so much to offer, it is located in one of the fastest growing counties in the United States; the education systems are highly rated and the opportunity for business growth and development is booming. Cedar Hills may be sleepy, but for all the right reasons and moving here might just be the best thing you've ever done! American Fork has been ranked among the top 20 places to live in the nation (according to Money Magazine) for the past five years. The town is an attractive residential community based largely on farming, manufacturing, and trade. Among the town's attractions are its downtown businesses, many of which are still housed in their original Old West-style buildings. Find homes for sale in American Fork Utah
