Residential streets at the foot of Y Mountain

Wasatch’s woven patchwork of streets sits in the shadow of Y Mountain, a local hiking favorite. This tiny neighborhood is just a short walk to the Y Trailhead in one direction and Brigham Young University in the other. Access to restaurants on BYU’s campus is coupled with stunning sights at the Summit Drive View, which showcases the mountain’s beauty. Kiwanis Park, located on the neighborhood’s south end, is an excellent spot for folks to unwind after a long week in lieu of hiking the trail.

Walkable streets lined with foliage

Homes lie in a grid pattern, with plenty of street parking and wide sidewalks. Maples and flowering plums appear at every second or third home, towering above the rooftops. Common architectural styles include bungalow, Dutch Colonial and ranch, varying from the mid-twentieth century to the early twenty-first. Houses with both brick and vinyl facades are as typical as either material alone. Prospective buyers can expect to spend anywhere from $500,000 to $700,000 for a backyard with splendid mountain views.

Enjoying local music and celebrations

There are plenty of events to attend in Provo. BYU’s School of Music has various bands performing jazz and chamber pieces throughout the year. More seasonal events, like the New Year’s Eve Countdown at Center and University Avenue, are a blast. Locals can meet their neighbors and make new friends at one of many annual festivals as well.

Hopping on the bus to get around

Aside from being able to walk to nearly everything, Wasatch offers public transportation for those not driving their own car to get around. The Utah Transit Authority’s bus line stretches around the perimeter of BYU in a squarish shape. Although locals need to walk a short way to reach Route 900 East, once they do, the bus line can take them around the edges of BYU and up Route 89.

Area eateries and retail shopping

The restaurants near BYU are a big draw for students and locals alike. Cupbop is a unique Korean spot that serves barbecue in a cup. These disposable cups contain a made-to-order combo of meats, noodles and other fixings, which patrons can eat standing or take with them. A hefty slice is equally close at SLABpizza, which serves twists on classic recipes like rosemary potato and bacon or green curry chicken. Grocery stores are relatively close, either a short drive or a bus ride along University Avenue. Smith’s has a variety of deli meats, produce and pre-made pasta salads for folks to grab for the week. A slightly longer trip up State Street takes shoppers to Rancho Markets, which serves freshly baked goods. Locals in the mood for a shopping spree can purchase home goods at Target, also down the road.
