Sunset Heights - Orem, UT Area Guide

Located six miles north of Provo, Orem was once named one of the best places to raise a family, and the city slogan is "Family City USA." But Orem, with its fantastic location on Utah Lake and minutes away from mountain ski lodges, is ideal for everyone. If you are moving to an apartment in Orem, consider the Sunset Heights neighborhood -- home to Utah Valley University and bordering Utah Lake. Many parks and recreational areas grace this neighborhood, including the Powell Slough Waterfowl Management Area, famous for its bird-watching opportunities. For golf, head a bit north to the 18-hole Links at Sleepy Ridge golf course in the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains. Satisfy your sweet tooth with confections from Kara Chocolates or the nearby Granny B's Cookies. Don't forget to attend the wonderful concerts, lectures, and dances at Utah Valley University’s famous Ragan Theater.
