Taylorsville, Utah: where community connects
Taylorsville is a small city with a population of about 57,000 people in the west Salt Lake Valley. It’s surrounded by the Wasatch Mountains to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west. The city was established in 1948. Shortly after, homes started to pop up along 4800 South, now known as the historic district of Taylorsville. “The quality of life in Taylorsville is high, with many cultural and recreational activities available within the city or nearby,” says Kim Horiuchi, spokeswoman for the city of Taylorsville. “We are located in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, so we are easily accessible to all the areas. As such, we are known as the place ‘where community connects.” Along with annual community-led events and plenty of shopping and dining spots, the city is known for its extensive outdoor recreation scene - where people can hike, ski, fish and much more. “With its beautiful natural habitat, it is without question a prize gem of the city,” Horiuchi says.
Taylorsville’s population has decreased slightly since 2020, when it was 60,000. This decline is due to the city's lack of housing and employment developments and the large retiree community. “Most of the land is used up, so there's really nowhere else to build in the area,” says Rodney Moser, Broker/Owner at NextHome Navigator, who has nearly three decades of experience. The city’s major employers include Sorenson’s Communications and Nelson Laboratories, a pharmaceutical company.

“There are affordable single-family homes, which is a plus,” Moser says. “And when I say affordable, I mean a home in the 400k range.” Homebuyers have views of the mountains from every corner. Heavily shaded by maple trees, homes are separated by small front lawns but still sit close together.
