City Finder by commute

How far will you drive to work? Shorten the drive.

Pick the place you drive to and how long a drive is OK each way. The finder sorts Utah towns by that drive.

A town that looks close on a map can be a long drive. The road, not the map, decides how far a town is from work. This page shows which towns fit the drive you pick.

How the commute match works.

You pick one place to drive to. The choices are downtown Salt Lake City, Lehi (Silicon Slopes), Provo, Ogden, Hill Air Force Base, St. George, and Park City. Then you pick how long a drive is OK each way.

Times are typical drives outside rush hour. Rush hour can take longer.

A town inside your limit fits best. A town a little past your limit still shows, but lower on the list. A town past one and a half times your limit is left out.

With the starting answers, when two towns fit the same, the shorter drive comes first.

Add what else matters.

A short drive can cost more. Add a budget to see which nearby towns it reaches. You can also pick the kind of place you want, from a city to the country.

Before you fall for a town.

Drive the route at the hour you would really leave for work. On a town's card, tap Homes for sale to see what is on the market now. Tap The Local to learn what daily life there is like. For drive times and traffic, read the Utah commute guide. If you want help comparing towns, just ask.

Your towns

Your towns will show up here after you tap Show my towns.

    The finder sorts towns by the answers you give. It is a place to start, not advice. Drive times are typical, and prices change.

    Weather comes from NOAA 30-year averages, 1991 to 2020. Income and home values come from the Census, ACS 2020 to 2024. Drive times are typical drives outside rush hour.

    Partner agents outside Southern Utah. In Iron, Washington, Kane, Garfield, and Beaver counties I am your agent. Elsewhere in Utah, I connect you with a partner agent I trust in that area. If you buy or sell with an agent I refer, that agent's brokerage pays my brokerage a referral fee out of their own compensation, never an added cost to you. You are always free to choose any agent you wish.
    How my dual role works. I am licensed in both real estate and mortgage lending. On any single purchase I take one role only, never both at once, and every role is disclosed. You are always free to choose your own agent and your own lender. The full explanation is on How I Work.

    Found a town you like? Let's talk it through.

    I can walk you through homes, prices, and the move itself. In Southern Utah, I am your agent. Anywhere else in Utah, I will connect you with a partner agent I trust.
