Cottonwood Heights
Wedged at the mouth of Big and Little Cottonwood, this is where Salt Lake commuters who ski more than they socialize put down roots. Twenty minutes from a chairlift in good traffic, which from November to April is not a given. Housing skews larger and newer than the city proper, with the price tag to match. Restaurants are competent rather than destination, and most evenings end early because the alarm is set for the resort parking lot. A reasonable trade if your dating life can survive a partner who treats powder days as non-negotiable.
