Cascade
Suburban Neighborhood in Orem, Utah
Utah County 84097, 84604
Cascade gets its name from the mighty mountain known for providing stunning views to residents across Orem. “Cascade is in a really beautiful area,” says Realtor Jason Knight. “It’s also right near the mouth of Provo Canyon, which gives major appeal for outdoor enthusiasts.” Centrally seated at the base of the mountain, Cascade residents enjoy living in modestly priced homes with scenic and often unobstructed sights. Here, larger homes cost less money than in other mountainside neighborhoods like Windsor and Orchard.
Properties range from $475,000 to $680,000, with prices increasing as you move east toward Provo Canyon and Cascade Mountain. Well-maintained ramblers, Colonial Revivals and modern townhomes make up most styles in this mainly residential neighborhood. Five bedrooms and two bathrooms spread across 1,100 square feet in updated ramblers that date back to the 1940s. Mature trees add to the historic charm of these homes, and large grassy yards provide plenty of room for kids to play. Modern townhomes include three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 2,600 square feet, have HOA fees and are located within walking distance of The Shops At Riverwoods – a popular entertainment area in Cascade.
Students can attend Cascade Elementary, Canyon View Jr. High and Orem High Schools. Cascade and Canyon View received an overall B from Niche, while Orem got an A. Great Schools gave the elementary school a 5/10, the middle school a 4/10, and the high school a 5/10. Families can walk along subdivision sidewalks to the centrally located Cascade Elementary and neighboring Cascade Park. Middle and high school students will need to ride the bus or carpool, but each school is less than two miles from your front door.
You’ll likely run into at least one other family when visiting Cascade Park. This popular family hangout spot includes a brightly colored playground with a zipline and swings for big kids and toddlers. Athletes looking for extra practice or friendly competition can use the pickleball, basketball and volleyball courts. A large field and pavilion with BBQ pits provide suitable setups for outdoor birthday parties, end-of-season little league celebrations and summer gatherings. Drive 2 miles east and arrive at the Indian Road Trailhead; this 5-minute drive also places you at the mouth of Provo Canyon, where hikers can camp, rock climb, and explore Mount Timpanogos Park.
Several grocery stores and shopping centers sit within a one-mile radius of your home, making planned and spontaneous errands easy. Stock your pantry with food from Harmons or Smiths, and cross off your shopping list at University Place Mall; any big box retailer you can think of is located just west of the mall, along West University Parkway. Enjoy family outings at Provo Beach — a local amusement center. Inside, you’ll find a bowling alley, an arcade and even an indoor “flow board” that allows you to practice your surfing skills. For an upscale experience, reserve a table at La Jolla Groves. Located in the prestigious River Bottoms community, this elegant restaurant boasts a European vibe and serves an array of fish, grilled meat and pasta.
Cascade offers Orem residents a wide variety of homes with varying prices and proximity to the famous Provo Canyon. This residential neighborhood appeals to families who enjoy a quiet lifestyle and the convenience of community amenities.
