373 N 800 W Unidad 371 Orem (Base)

Live one mile west of busy downtown Orem in Suncrest. Characterized by Utah's signature wide streets -- wide enough for a team of oxen to turn around, as legend has it -- the neighborhood gives residents privacy and room to breathe. Many homes in the area have views of the Wasatch Mountains to the east.

For the best views, look for rentals near Geneva Park. Here, residents gather for pickup games at the basketball court and enjoy traffic-free jogs on the walking path. The west side of the neighborhood provides fast access to Interstate 15, so you can get on the road quickly to Salt Lake City or other areas in the Utah Valley.

Highway 89 and Center Street house most of Suncrest's businesses. Fill up on a Reuben sandwich or a steak and egg burger at Smokehouse Bar-B-Que and Burgers. Locals in-the-know head for the well-hidden Maria Bonita for the generous servings of molcajete and greetings from the friendly owner.
