Orem is located about 45 minutes south of Salt Lake City and directly north of Provo.
Orem’s calling card, nickname, and local slogan is Family City U.S.A. Why? Maybe it’s because of the great schools in the area. Or perhaps it’s due to the affordable cost of living, which makes it easy for couples and young families to purchase their first home. Or perhaps it’s because of the kind, caring community that welcomes newcomers with enthusiasm. Whichever reason you prefer, it’s no wonder that Orem was named the Best Place to Raise a Family in the US by Forbes in 2016, and ranked #13 in Money Magazine’s 2018 edition of the Best Places to Live.
