5 Things You May Not Know About Salt Lake City

If there’s one thing everyone knows about Salt Lake City, it’s this: We have the greatest snow on earth. And even though it’s May and spring fever is in full swing, some of the ski resorts are still open for business. However, we’re so much more than that! After all, once ski season is officially over, the city calls to us in new, refreshing (and warm-weather) ways!

1- We’re die-hard fans

Whether you’re a fan of basketball, soccer or baseball, Salt Lake City is home to a thriving sports community and home to several professional sports teams including the Utah Jazz, Real Salt Lake, Utah Royals FC and the Salt Lake Bees. With that, Salt Lake has an incredible variety of sports venues – some of which are unique to Salt Lake as part of our Olympic Legacy. Among the most famous are the Vivint Smart Home Arena, Rice-Eccles Stadium and Mountain America Expo Center.

2- We’re foodies

When it comes to the culinary arts, we’ve done some growing up over the past few years. Salt Lake is now considered by even the most discerning critics to be among the country’s best foodie cities. Creative entrepreneurs, ambitious chefs, and an influx of people relocating here from around the globe have given rise to an exciting number and variety of dining options. Yum!

3- We’re both adult and family-friendly

Salt Lake City consistently ranks as one of the friendliest, healthiest, and most family-friendly cities in the country. And for good reason — the city boasts more than its fair share of entertainment and adventure for the kids and big-kids alike. From visits to the Natural History Museum and Utah’s Hogle Zoo to shows at the Gallivan Center and Eccles Theatre, there is something for everyone to enjoy during spring season across the entire valley.

4- We’re more diverse than you think

Salt Lake City is not often thought of being religiously diverse. However, while about 62% of Utahns are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, less than 40% of the population of Salt Lake City are members of the religion. Minority students are the majority in more than half of the capital city’s schools (24 of its 38 schools have minority groups that outnumber white students). Additionally, Salt Lake ranks among the nation’s most LGBTQ friendly cities.

5- Our economy is booming

Even the Wall Street Journal agrees — Utah’s economy is BOOMING. The secret? Our expanding workforce and housing market. Utah and its capital city tops the nation for having the highest household income, strongest job growth and most diverse job market. Jobs, retirement, family and lifestyle are the top reasons new residents reported moving to the Beehive state and among the top metros, Salt Lake City ranks as one of the most affordable.

The final call: Salt Lake City is small enough to be clean, safe, affordable, and family-friendly—yet big enough to offer unlimited options in jobs, dining, venues, and entertainment. Just a few more reasons to love where we live!

Hey there, future homeowner! So, you're diving into the wild world of real estate, huh? Exciting times ahead! 🏡 But hold up – before you pop the champagne, let's talk about something crucial: choosing your title company. Now, who gets to decide on this? Spoiler alert: it's you! Sure, your real estate agent or lender might throw a few suggestions your way, but ultimately, the choice is yours. So, let's make it count! First things first, do some snooping around. Check out different title companies online, ask your pals for recommendations, and see what vibes with you. You want someone reliable, experienced, and who's got your back, no matter what. Oh, and don't be shy – ask questions! Seriously, grill them like you're on a first date. How long have they been in the game? What's their process like? And most importantly, can they handle your quirks and concerns like a champ? Remember, this isn't just about paperwork – it's about peace of mind. Your home sweet home is a big deal, so choose a title company that feels like the perfect fit. Trust me, it'll make all the difference when it's time to pop those keys in the door!

February is not just about Valentine's Day chocolates and romantic gestures; it's also about spreading love and kindness to those who need it most. And boy, did we have an amazing time doing just that with our February Giveback! This month, we teamed up with the incredible For The Kids nonprofit to make a difference in the lives of children in our community. And let us tell you, it was a heartwarming experience from start to finish. First things first, our team rolled up their sleeves and dove straight into action. We spent a day volunteering, packing a whopping 100 meals to be delivered to those in need. The joy of knowing that these meals would bring smiles to the faces of children warmed our hearts in ways we can't even describe. But we didn't stop there! Oh no, we were just getting started. With our sleeves still rolled up and our spirits soaring, our very own Joe packed the truck with all those delicious deliveries for that Friday. The excitement was palpable as we imagined the happiness these meals would bring to families across our community. And guess what? Our amazing supporters rallied behind us in full force! Through their generosity, we collected over 100 additional items to donate to For The Kids. From canned goods to pantry staples, every single donation meant the world to us and to those we're helping. As we reflect on our February Giveback journey, we can't help but feel overwhelmingly grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. Grateful for the support of our community. And most of all, grateful for the chance to spread love in every way we can. It's worth mentioning that our dedication to For The Kids goes way back – we supported their mission back in 2021, and we're committed to continuing this beautiful partnership for years to come. To everyone who volunteered, donated, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines – thank you. Thank you for believing in the power of kindness. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey. Together, we're making the world a brighter, happier place, one meal and one smile at a time.
