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!

Welcome, 2020! We made it through the first week of the New Year and are already excited for what’s to come in this brand new decade. Anything can happen, and we have so much to create! Whether you’re a fan of long-term resolutions or prefer setting smaller, short-term goals, it feels good to start the year off with a desire to change for the better. If you know us, you know our approach at Novation Title has always been goal-centric, not only within our business but in our personal lives and out in the community. In today’s world where we are constantly connected (and distracted), it’s no wonder that we increasingly find ourselves overwhelmed mentally and physically drained. Often, the issues in everyday life are the ones that prevent us from enjoying the very same everyday life! How can we balance this out? We believe we can do better. That is why we are introducing meditation into our workspace. While meditation has been practiced for over 5,000 years, it is increasingly becoming a necessary way for us to unplug from the modern world. But what, exactly, is it? Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique — such as mindfulness — to train attention and thoughts. Mindfulness is awareness, it is a state of peace. It is being in the present moment, intentional and serene. It is the process of being aware of your thoughts while also disconnecting from them so you can connect within. Connecting within is the highest form of intelligence and results in proven mental, emotional and spiritual health benefits. Here are just a few science-based benefits of meditation: Reduces blood pressure Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior Improves immune system Increase in energy levels Lessens stress and anxiety Increases happiness and creativity Clarity and peace of mind Increased memory retention and recall Enhances self-awareness and self-acceptance Each one of us, regardless of gender, age or other factors, undergo daily stress and tension at some level or the other. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce #NovationMeditation into our business and we encourage others to join us this year. We can ALL benefit from improved mental and physical health in 2020. Who’s with us?!
