How Utah City is Solving the Utah County Commute

Utah County is officially the fastest-growing county in the state. While that growth brings vibrant economic opportunity, it often brings a familiar frustration: the commute. For decades, the “Utah County crawl” on I-15 has been a staple of daily life.

But what if your commute didn’t start with a car key?

At Utah City, we are proving that density, when done with intention, doesn’t create chaos—it creates connection. By prioritizing the “Walkable Urban Advantage,” we are building a sustainable foundation for movement that saves the one resource we can’t make more of: time.

Redefining the Utah County Commute

The backbone of any functional urban center is access to multi-nodal transit. The Vineyard FrontRunner Station—the first new station in a decade—serves as the gateway to Utah City. Positioned on the 83-mile line between Ogden and Provo, this station drives economic opportunity.

Whether you are a student, a daily commuter, or a visitor, the ability to step off a train and be home in minutes is a game-changer. This connectivity allows residents to bypass I-15 gridlock, providing a seamless link to the entire Wasatch Front.

Sustainability Through Time-Saving

When people hear “sustainability,” they often think of energy. At Utah City, we think of lifestyle.

A walkable city is designed to be safe, interesting, comfortable, and useful. By slowing down cars, widening sidewalks, and adding lush street trees, we’ve designed Utah City’s streets to be enjoyed, not just endured.

Does a walkable city mean no cars? Absolutely not. Utah City is designed with ample parking and accessibility in mind. However, our mixed-use philosophy means your everyday trips—to the office, the park, or the pharmacy—don’t require a car. When you mix retail, residential, and green space, you trade traffic jams for a stroll.

Density Done Right: A Healthier Future

Utah City isn’t Los Angeles or Brooklyn. We are a unique mountain-metro community built from a “blank slate.” This allows us to use innovative practices from the ground up:

• Water-Wise Landscapes: Efficient irrigation and stormwater management are baked into the design.
• Efficient Infrastructure: No retrofitting needed. Every building is highly efficient and built to last for generations.
• 50 Acres of Open Space: A 12-acre promenade will run from the FrontRunner station directly to the shores of Utah Lake, complemented by a network of parks and paseos.

Live Where You Move: 220 Bend is Now Open

The vision of a walkable Utah County is no longer a “future plan”—it is a current reality. We recently celebrated the Grand Opening of 220 Bend, a new layer of residences, shared amenities, and well-considered social spaces and common areas that are built to support a life that feels connected.

Living at 220 Bend or 120 Bend puts you at the heart of this transformation. Walkable, welcoming and ready to explore, imagine a Saturday morning where you walk to Bella’s Market for local favorites and everyday essentials, are served by your neighborhood Pharmacy, join our community sweat sessions on the Greenline, or grab a slice at Fini Pizza or Fini Café. With Hoops and Racquet Club coming this May, your expanded fitness and social life are just steps from your front door.

Utah City is envisioned as part of the solution to our growing state, crafted with care, conviction and a vision of what’s possible for Utah. We are building the foundation and infrastructure that allow you to spend less time behind the wheel and more time doing what you love.
