Austin Texas to SLC area (Provo, Ogden: high school, where to live, cheapest)

[cyclefrk]

Hi,

My wife and I will possibly be relocating to the SLC area for work in Lehi. We are trying to find out where to live. We would like a relatively diverse area considering we are both white and our son is black. We love to do outdoor activities which is the main reason we are looking at Utah. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You should read some of the previous threads, this seems to be a popular question, a diversified area. For Utah county there isn't great diversity, but west lehi, saratoga springs, or eagle mountain have many new communities with a higher diversification than most of North UT county(north of Provo). Those 3 locations are also the cheapest locations right now for North UT county.

Relatively diverse for Utah can mean different things to different people. My high school (2000 Students?) had a handful of Minorities (less than 3%) in North Ogden, Utah. I was always treated respectfully because I treated others as such. Salt Lake and the Davis County area are probably the most diverse in Utah. Salt Lake due to its sheer size and Davis County due to Hill Air Force Base. The high school outside of the base (Northridge) is probably the most diverse in the state. I believe no matter where you go in Northern Utah your son will feel comfortable rather than an outsider. The smaller the town the more likely it's all white though.
