Knowing this, it can be staggering to decide where you should be looking for your new home. Today’s post will help you determine whether Southern Utah is the right place for you to move.
Climate and Landscape
If you love long, cold, wet winters, Southern Utah is not the place for you. With highs rarely falling below 50 degrees, and generally not exceeding 102, Southern Utah is the temperate climate so many crave. Nevertheless, you can still experience the joys of winter with ski resorts being no further than a few hours away in Northern Utah, and some even as close as an hour or two.
If you hate iconic, beautiful landscapes and unrivaled outdoors activities, then Southern Utah is not the place for you. If you love the beauty of red rock, the excitement of hiking, boating, camping, biking, and other outdoor activities, if you love excitement, then it is.
Cost of Living
If you love the high cost of living, Southern Utah is not the place for you. On average, Southern Utah communities have a cost of living 5% lower than the national average. If you’re interested in moving somewhere with all of the amenities you want for your lifestyle, that at the same time will allow you to lower your overall cost, Southern Utah is the place for you.
The Community
If you hate close-knit, small town-style communities, then Southern Utah is not the place for you. Neighbors know each other, there is support, kindness, and a closeness that you don’t find everywhere. Southern Utah is the place for you if you want a family-friendly, safe, and comfortable place to live.
