Prudential Utah Real Estate

Provo

Education, recreation, culture and beauty - oh, yeah, there's beauty - in Provo, Utah make it a top destination for relocation. Even Money Magazine loves Provo.

We're not surprised. We at Prudential Utah Real Estate know this valley is filled with treasures of every kind and surrounded by a world opportunity.  Sure, Provo is home to Brigham Young University and the ever-popular BYU Cougars who call the monstrous LaVell Edwards Stadium their home. But, it's also Utah County's seat and sit it does - right smack in the middle of ski resorts, lakes, state parks and the Timpanogos Cave National Monument to name just a few of the astounding attractions here.

If you're looking for a great place to buy a new home, this is the right place! Provo is just 44 miles south of Salt Lake City in Utah County. The Wasatch Mountains border our beautiful city on the east. Look to the west and you'll see the Oquirrh Mountains in all their glory.

Among the compliments our real estate agents hear most about Provo, Utah, are those about the city's four distinct seasons. Low humidity and plenty sunshine can be found here. Our winters are cold and our summers are warm and we think you'll enjoy the pleasant contract.

Our annual Freedom Festival / 4^th of July Celebration [ http://www.freedomfestival.org/] is a festival to beat all festivals celebrations and a flashy display of the community spirit here seen burning bright in our Stadium of Fire.
