Taylorsville is a community-led city with routes to Salt Lake City

When looking at Salt Lake County, the city of Taylorsville is right in the heart of things. It’s easy for residents to hop on Interstate 215 to reach the Salt Lake City International Airport, or Interstate 15 to visit downtown Salt Lake City. Taylorsville, though, offers ways for residents to get together, from annual events like summer concerts to spacious parks like Gary C. Swensen Valley Regional Park. The city is known for its balance of residential areas, commercial centers and recreation, all within easy reach of downtown amenities.

Housing that ranges in style and age

Home styles in Taylorsville range from large New Traditionals to manufactured homes. There have been some new homes built, but you’re more likely to find an established property. “They put townhomes right in my backyard, and they just did nine other homes,” says Susan Holman, chair of the Taylorsville Arts Council. “There's not a lot of space for new homes, but there are people who come looking for a home. It’s a nice pocket. ... They really watch what they do with our taxes, so that’s nice.” Prices here have been in the lower $400,000s to the upper $500,000s, and Taylorsville homes tend to be cheaper than areas like West Jordan and Murray but more expensive than Granger or Kearns. Some people rent apartment units or townhouses, but most residents are homeowners.

Public schools and community college events in Taylorsville

The highly rated Granite School District serves Taylorsville, with schools like Taylorsville High School. The district offers school choice open enrollment, allowing parents to apply for registration to a school outside their attendance zone. The city also has the Salt Lake Community College-Taylorsville Redwood Campus. Holman says the Taylorsville SLCC Symphony holds concerts on campus and at the Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center, near city hall. She mentions the art council keeps prices low so residents can enjoy the music without having to drive all the way downtown. “We keep things cheap for families,” Holman says.

How residents get around and to downtown

Neighborhoods here have sidewalk-lined streets, where people out for a stroll can see the Wasatch Range over the tops of the trees shading the homes. When people need to commute to downtown Salt Lake City, they might head over to I-15 or I-215. “We are located in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, so we are easily accessible to all the areas,” says Kim Horiuchi, spokeswoman for the city of Taylorsville. “As such, we are known as the place ‘where community connects’.” There are a few bus lines that run through the area, but you’re also roughly 10 minutes from the TRAX West Valley Central Station to catch the train there. Some people avoid the interstates completely and use State Route 154, commonly known as Bangerter Highway, to reach the Salt Lake City International Airport.

Spending time outside in parks or following trails

Taylorsville has multiple parks, golf courses and trailheads that give residents ways to get outside. You can head to Vista Park to practice on one of the baseball fields, explore the playground or follow the walking trail. Millrace is known for its pickleball courts and off-leash dog park. Out of all the options, Gary C. Swensen Valley Regional Park is the largest, with amenities like the:

  • Baseball and softball fields with stadium seating
  • Taylorsville Recreation Center, which has access to the in-ground pool
  • Walking trail that passes the disc golf course and multipurpose field
For a change of pace, you might play a round at the public 18-hole Meadow Brook Golf Course or park at Arrowhead Park to hike or bike along the 60-mile Jordan River Parkway Trail.

Summer events and community arts bring Taylorsville residents together

There’s almost always some kind of event going on to give residents a chance to hang out. “They do Starry Nights every Friday,” Holman says. “There are food trucks and bands. You get to meet people there.” Starry Nights is a summer tradition, but you can also visit the farmers market at Centennial Plaza from July through September. Holman says Taylorsville’s growth can be seen in the city’s arts as more people participate. “It’s definitely grown,” Holman says. “Now, we do a junior play, a big musical and small musical reviews in the fall. A ton of people come out and audition. We even do Taylorsville’s Got Talent.”

Retail and restaurant options across Taylorsville

The Crossroads of Taylorsville is the city's main shopping center, with chain restaurants, stores like Target and a Harmons grocery store. Across the street, the Legacy Plaza at 54th has more local restaurants, like Penny Ann's Cafe and Leatherby's Family Creamery. “A lot of people come to Taylorsville for Old Spaghetti Factory and Texas Roadhouse,” Holman says. “I hear people talk about a little Italian place, Siragusa’s [Taste of Italy].” If you want more options, Interstate 215 leads to the Valley Fair Mall, which has over 100 stores and restaurants.
