Sandwiched between the Wasatch Range and the Oquirrh Mountains, Midvale puts world-class ski slopes within a short drive while keeping you close to everything Salt Lake County has to offer. Sitting roughly 12 miles south of Salt Lake City, this compact six-square-mile city punches above its weight with a surprisingly easy commute. Two TRAX light rail lines and three stations connect residents to downtown Salt Lake City and beyond, making car-free commuting genuinely practical. Midvale City Park, Fire Station Park, and Bingham Junction give outdoor enthusiasts plenty of room to stretch out, while the Shops at Fort Union draw in bargain hunters on the city's east side.
The rental market here leans toward well-maintained apartment communities, with a solid mix of garden-style buildings, townhomes, and newer developments near the Bingham Junction corridor. Studios through spacious multi-bedroom floor plans are widely available, giving renters real options no matter the household size.
