Utah County, Utah
Cost of living, home prices, schools and neighborhoods
Lindon is a small, upscale city of roughly 11,000 positioned between Pleasant Grove and Orem along the I-15 corridor. The city maintains a semi-rural feel with larger lot sizes and equestrian-friendly zoning in some areas, while its commercial zone along State Street includes significant employment (including the former Novell campus). Housing stock is predominantly quality single-family homes on spacious lots, with some newer townhome development. Lindon's position provides exceptional I-15 access for commuting in either direction, and the city's proximity to both Silicon Slopes and BYU/UVU creates a diversified employment draw. For investors, Lindon is a niche market: limited rental inventory and premium rents, but acquisition costs are elevated and deals are infrequent. The city's small size and established character mean it won't see significant new development, which protects existing values.

Lindon is the kind of place where you might pass a horse trailer on your way to the tech office. Morning commutes to Silicon Slopes or BYU take 10 minutes in opposite directions via I-15. The city's lack of commercial development means most errands happen in Orem or Pleasant Grove, but residents view this as a feature: residential streets, large yards, and less commercial traffic. The Lindon Days celebration in August centers on the city park with a parade, carnival, and community dinner. The Murdock Canal Trail passes through for cycling and walking. Evenings are quiet, and the Timpanogos Mountain views from the larger lots are among the best in Utah County. Large lots and I-15 access are the main draws.

Lindon's small size actually works in investors' favor, limited rental inventory means competition for tenants is minimal, and well-priced properties attract applications quickly. The trade-off is fewer acquisition opportunities and a smaller tenant pool to draw from. Market large lots, residential streets, Alpine School District zoning, and I-15 proximity. Marketing on broader platforms and emphasizing the lifestyle draws applicants from across Utah County. Lindon works best as a single-property hold within a diversified portfolio rather than a market to scale in.
Some Lindon properties allow horses and livestock, which creates a niche rental opportunity. Equestrian tenants pay premium rents for properties with pasture, outbuildings, and arena or riding access. These tenants are extremely sticky, the logistics and cost of moving horses means they stay for years and treat properties as their own. However, animal management requires appropriate lease provisions, insurance riders, and property features (water access, fencing, manure management). Investors without equestrian knowledge should consult with experienced property managers before entering this niche.
Lindon and Highland share the large-lot premium character, but Lindon benefits from better I-15 access and a lower profile that keeps it more affordable per square foot. Highland has the emerging Town Center for walkable amenities, which Lindon lacks. Both are served by Alpine School District with strong schools. For investors, Lindon may offer slightly better value on a per-square-foot basis, but Highland's larger population provides more tenant demand. Both are premium markets where longer tenancies can offset lower cash-flow yields.
