Draper sits right where the Wasatch Mountains start to rise, giving residents a front-row seat to some of Utah's most dramatic scenery without straying far from the conveniences of the Salt Lake Valley. Positioned about 30 minutes south of downtown Salt Lake City, the city offers easy access to world-class ski resorts near Park City, while the UTA TRAX light rail and FrontRunner commuter rail keep everything connected for those who'd rather leave the car at home. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of Corner Canyon Regional Park, which features miles of mountain biking and hiking trails right within city limits.
The rental market here covers a solid range of options, from spacious townhomes and garden-style apartment communities to newer high-rise and mid-rise developments near Draper Town Center. Renters can find roomy floor plans that tend to be more generous than what you'd see closer to the urban core. Draper straddled the Salt Lake and Utah County lines when it was officially incorporated in 1978, and it has grown from a quiet agricultural town into one of the region's fastest-expanding cities, drawing major tech employers to its thriving business corridor along the I-15 corridor.
