Homes for sale in Pleasant Grove, Utah

Frequently asked questions

Is Pleasant Grove, Utah a good place to live?

Yes — Pleasant Grove is an established, family-first city with Alpine School District schools, canyon trails that start at the top of the neighborhoods, and a central location 10 minutes from the Lehi tech corridor and 15 from Provo. The median price is around $540K and homes sell in about 22 days. It has a stronger small-town identity than its neighbors, thanks to Strawberry Days and a historic downtown, with the Grove commercial district providing restaurants and shopping on the I-15 side.

Is Pleasant Grove, Utah safe?

Pleasant Grove is generally considered a safe city, with crime rates below national averages and in line with north Utah County. The bench neighborhoods and historic center are quiet, walkable streets where kids bike to school. Property crime near the Grove retail district and I-15 is the most common issue, and violent crime is rare. The Pleasant Grove Police Department publishes its own data if you want to look at a particular area.

Is Pleasant Grove, Utah expensive?

It's mid-range for north Utah County. The median of around $540K is below Lindon, Highland, and Alpine but above Orem, Provo, and the west-side cities. Newer townhomes near the Grove start in the high $300s, established family homes run $475K-$650K, and north-bench and Manila homes with Timpanogos views go $700K-$1M+. Property taxes on a primary residence are roughly 0.5-0.6% of value, like the rest of the county.

Is Pleasant Grove, Utah Mormon?

Pleasant Grove is in Utah County, which is majority Latter-day Saint, and most residents are LDS. You'll notice quiet Sundays, lots of young families, and a community calendar built around church and city events like Strawberry Days. The tech corridor's growth has brought more transplants from out of state, especially in the newer south and west subdivisions. I work with buyers of every faith and none, and the neighborhoods here are welcoming across the board.

What is Pleasant Grove, Utah known for?

Strawberry Days — Utah's oldest continuous community celebration, held every June since 1921 with a rodeo, parade, and carnival. Mount Timpanogos and the Grove Creek and Battle Creek Falls trails, Discovery Park's giant wooden playground, the Grove commercial district with doTERRA's headquarters, and Pleasant Grove High School's Vikings. It's also the gateway to American Fork Canyon and Timpanogos Cave National Monument.

How far is Pleasant Grove from Salt Lake City?

About 35 miles and 35-40 minutes by car on I-15 in normal traffic, closer to an hour at rush hour. It's 10 minutes to Lehi's Silicon Slopes offices, 15 minutes to Provo and BYU, and 10 minutes to Orem. The nearest FrontRunner stations are American Fork and Orem, both about 10 minutes away, which makes a Salt Lake commute realistic without driving I-15.

Pleasant Grove vs. American Fork — which is better?

They border each other and share Alpine School District, so it often comes down to feel and price. American Fork is bigger, has more new construction, the FrontRunner station, and a major hospital and retail corridor. Pleasant Grove is quieter, more established, sits closer against the mountain with better trail access, and has a stronger small-town identity. Prices are similar, with Pleasant Grove's bench homes running a bit higher. I usually show both on the same day.

What are the best neighborhoods in Pleasant Grove?

The north bench and Manila area against the foothills has the largest lots, newer custom homes, and the best Timpanogos and valley views — the city's premium address. The historic center around downtown has early-1900s brick homes on mature streets within walking distance of Strawberry Days and the city center. The Grove area near I-15 and the south and west subdivisions have most of the newer townhomes and family two-stories at lower price points. Neighborhoods near Discovery Park and the Grove Creek trailhead are perennial family favorites.
