If you live in the SLC area of Utah, you’ve probably noticed the recent population boom we’ve been experiencing.

People are moving to the SLC area in record numbers. As a result, the surrounding suburbs are starting to receive a lot more attention.

But, what are some of the commuter spots in South and North SLC? Read on, and we will answer all that and more by the end of this article!
