Castle gardens and new subdivisions in the shadow the Wasatch Mountains
Come spring, 24,000 blooming tulips signal the changing of the seasons in Nielsen’s Grove Park. Visitors pack picnics and stroll the European-style castle gardens, all in the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains. Lakeview, a neighborhood less than 5 miles from Downtown Provo and about 2 miles from the University Place Mall in Orem, is more densely packed with tulips than it is people. Streets are quiet, concrete sidewalks are wide enough for walking side-by-side and plenty of outdoor recreation spaces lie to the east in the form of Utah Lake and to the west in the form of mountain trails. Intersecting it all is Interstate 15, which carries residents up to Salt Lake City and beyond. According to Emerie Brooks, a graduate of Brigham Young University who’s worked as a Listing Manager at Summit Realty Inc. since 2017, Lakeview is the type of place where people decide to grow old. “They bought houses decades ago and never left,” she says. That being said, recent years have seen the addition of brand-new subdivisions on land that was once predominately agricultural; parents with young children have decided to start their own journeys in Lakeview, bringing credence to Orem’s motto: “Family City USA.”

Townhouses, ranch-styles and luxury homes
In Lakeview, bi-levels, ranch-styles and modest cottages date back to the 1980s or earlier and typically sell for under $500,000. Some of the neighborhood’s oldest homes were even built prior to 1900 when the area was dominated by fruit trees instead of two-car garages and vinyl-sided homes. “As well as multi-generational families, a lot of younger families are either buying and revitalizing older houses or moving into the newer ones near the Interstate and shopping centers,” says Brooks, speaking to the variety of options available in Lakeview. Two-bedroom townhomes hover between the mid-$300,000s and $500,000, whereas four-bedroom single-family homes built after 2000 start in the mid $500,000s and can sell for upwards of $600,000. An increase in price usually means an increase in square footage; traditional homes with steep gabled roofs spanning 5,000 square feet can sell for well over $1 million and lot sizes are a quarter of an acre or more, enough room for vegetable gardens and front yard games of catch. In newer subdivisions, HOA fees give residents access to clubhouses, pools and landscaping.

Vintage swings, fishing in Utah Lake and hiking trails
Nielsen’s Grove Park, which was established in 1880 by Jorgen Nielsen, is Utah’s oldest park. Although flooding in the early 1900s destroyed its European-style gardens, the reflecting pool and greenhouses, the Orem City Historic Preservation Committee dedicated itself to restoring the park in the mid-1990s. Today, children still play on the vintage carousel swing, and expansive green fields make for the perfect place to lay out a picnic blanket. Near Lakeview Elementary, students can head to the Lakeview Park playground after school. There’s also Fort Utah Park, which has a baseball field and volleyball court. Utah Lake State Park is just outside the neighborhood. Here, locals can rent out boats, swim in the summertime and fish for channel catfish, bass and panfish on one of the largest freshwater lakes west of the Mississippi. Hiking enthusiasts will enjoy driving east to explore the Wasatch Mountains; there’s the Y Trail, Squaw Peak and Rock Canyon. Caves have hanging rock formations, and stumbling upon an abandoned mine isn’t unheard of.

More than 20 CTE pathways at Mountain View High School and UVU nearby
Depending on their address within Lakeview, children can attend Cherry Hill Elementary, Lakeview Elementary or Vineyard Elementary, which all earned B-minuses or higher from the educational review site, Niche. Lakeridge Junior High and Mountain View High School, which both received Bs, serve approximately 1,300 students each. MVHS offers over 20 CTE career pathways, giving tenth through 12th graders hands-on experience in fields like agriculture, audio-visual tech and hospitality. During their senior year, students have the opportunity to put their skills to good use in off-campus internships.
Utah Valley University, the largest public university in the state with an undergraduate population of over 40,000, lies just north of Lakeview. “UVU started small and just keeps getting bigger,” says Brooks, adding, “People will say things like, ‘Oh, you went to UVU? That’s a good school.’” The college’s influence is keenly felt in Lakeview and in surrounding communities, acting as one of the area’s main employers.

Over 150 stores in University Place Mall
When it comes time to run errands, University Parkway provides a long list of big box options like Michael’s, Lowes and Walmart Supercenter. Although University Place Mall has brought quite a bit of traffic to the area, it’s also given residents easy access to more than 150 stores like H&M and Dillards as well as over 25 restaurants. Find everything from sushi at Noodle-n-Roll/Cho & Kim LLC to Venezuelan cuisine at Arempas. Nearby, check items off the grocery list at Trader Joe’s or Costco Wholesale. For smaller-scale options, head to historic Downtown Provo where storefronts on Center Street and University Avenue date back 100 years. Reserve a table at Black Sheep, an 80% “from-scratch” restaurant that describes its menu as a “Native American Southwestern infusion.” After dinner, order a cone from Rockwell Ice Cream next door.

Seasonal sunset farmers markets in Orem
Every Wednesday night from May through October, “Family City USA,” aka Orem, welcomes over 150 vendors to Orem City Center Park for a farmers market and food fest. Listen to live music and pick up dinner to go from a food truck. During the holiday season, Orem’s Christmas Market sets up shop in the park, and kids can ride the Orem Express through a winter wonderland. The Orchard in University Place Mall also hosts a sunset market on Fridays starting in July and running through late October.
University museums, basketball games and live theater
Although Lakeview is known for outdoor recreation, rainy days are easily spent admiring student art exhibits inside the UVU Art Museum, hopping on the trampolines at Hang Time Adventure Park or cheering on the Wolverines at the UCCU Center. Along with UVU’s basketball team, the venue has also welcomed touring musicians like Panic! at the Disco and Olivia Rodrigo over the years. Watch a movie at the University Place Cinemark, take the kids to The Orchard, an indoor-outdoor play area in the mall, or pick up tickets to watch a musical at the Hale Center Theater. Brigham Young University in Provo — about 4 miles from Lakeview — is also home to several museums including the Bean Life Science Museum, which hosts school programs and natural history-themed summer camps.

The UTA light rail, Provo Municipal Airport and medical care at Utah Valley Hospital
Lakeview is largely car-dependent, although some residents like to make use of Utah Transit Authority’s light rail system. The FrontRunner train stops at Provo Central Station on the way to Ogden, also passing through Salt Lake City on the way. For more long-distance travel, Provo Municipal Airport is about 5 miles from Lakeview, offering direct flights to over a dozen U.S. cities via Breeze and Allegiant Airways. Salt Lake City International Airport provides even more options to the north. When it comes to medical care, Utah Valley Hospital, part of the Intermountain Healthcare System, is approximately 3 miles from the neighborhood. This Level II Trauma Center Specializes in everything from behavioral health to cancer care. There’s also Orem Community Hospital to the north, also part of the Intermountain Healthcare System.
Lakeview residents take the FrontRunner to go to Salt Lake City.
