The beauty of Utah Valley and convenience of nearby spots like Provo
Once famous as a major producer of strawberries and other fruits, Pleasant Grove – Utah’s “City of Trees,” according to its motto – has grown from its agricultural beginnings to offer residents a slice of the Utah Valley’s natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere without sacrificing access to urban amenities and the region’s booming Silicon Slopes area. “It’s close to a lot, but it has its own small-town feel,” says Emerie Swallow, listing manager at Summit Realty Inc. and longtime resident of Pleasant Grove. “It’s growing, but it’s also a generational kind of place, where a lot of your neighbors are the people you grew up with and consider to be extended family.”
The Old Fort neighborhood is nestled beneath the Wasatch Mountain Range.
Battle Creek Falls Trail Head is a popular hike for locals of Scratch Gravel.

Historic homes alongside modern contemporary builds
Areas like Sam White Lane demonstrate the housing variety Pleasant Grove offers. Parts of the neighborhood extend into the city's southwest corner — where Mormon settlers first established the settlement — and feature historic homes, with newly developed condominiums and housing developments just down the road. The Little Denmark neighborhood, named for Danish settlers who arrived in the 1800s, is home to classic ranch-style and rambler homes. Modern contemporary homes sit on quarter-acre lots at the foothills of Mount Timpanogos, close to American Fork, while large custom-built estates can be found in the northern part of the city. The median price for a home in Pleasant Grove is $521,000. The city is at a high risk of wildfire, potentially leading to higher insurance rates.
Two story craftsman style homes are found throughout the Battle Creek neighborhood.
Craftsman styled homes, with sidewalks, can be found in the Monkey Town neighborhood.

It’s well-known for its highly ranked music and fine arts programs and earns an A-minus from Niche.

State Street makes getting around easy
State Street connects to nearby American Fork and Orem, both approximately five miles down the road. U.S. Route 89 and Interstate 15 further connect to larger areas like Provo and Salt Lake City – 15 and 35 miles away, respectively. The Provo Airport is about 15 miles south, while the Salt Lake City International Airport is just under 40 miles north. Two UTA Bus Routes run through Pleasant Grove. The Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem is a five-mile drive down State Street. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Lindon Temple is just over three miles away.

A variety of trails and mountain vistas
Dry Canyon, located at the foothills of Mount Timpanogos, offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the mountainous atmosphere through a number of hiking trails. The Murdock Trail is a 17-mile paved, multi-use path that leads all the way to Lehi – providing walkers, joggers and mountain bikers an alternative means of commuting. The Pleasant Grove Recreation Center offers gym equipment, pools and several pickleball courts. Discovery Park is one of the go-to spots for outdoor recreation and family fun, home to two playgrounds, a climbing wall and even a small maze.
Residents in Scratch Gravel can enjoy walking paths, green space and trees at Anderson Park.

Orem and American Fork have even more retail options
Residents looking for a bite to eat will find contemporary options such as Village Baker and R&R BBQ along Pleasant Grove Boulevard. Historic, longstanding community stalwarts like the Purple Turtle eatery and U.G.L.Y.’s Closet consignment boutique are just off Main Street, toward what locals call Pleasant Grove’s downtown. Residents can head just south of State Street for groceries at Smith’s or continue on State Street to major retail destinations like University Place in Orem or the Alpine Creek Center in American Fork.
Smith Rexall Drugs stylish storefront is reminiscent of local pharmacies of the past, and is located in the Little Denmark Neighborhood.

Strawberry Days brings the community together
Strawberry Days is a celebration of Pleasant Grove’s fruitful past and is the longest-running community celebration in the state—held the third week of June every year since 1921. The week-long event features live music, parades throughout town, and a PRCA-sponsored rodeo competition – along with unlimited servings of strawberries and cream. “We’re one big rodeo family in Pleasant Grove,” says Swallow. “I did mutton busting as a kid – riding on a sheep for as long as possible – and I remember my grandpa always winning the trailer racing competition. It’s just a really fun part of living here.”
Enjoy a great meal with family or friends at Purple Turtle, located in the Old Fort neighborhood.
U.G.L.Y.'s Closet is a second-hand boutique that funds programs to give struggling single moms (and dads) access to needed goods and education.
