Get to know Pleasant Grove

About Pleasant Grove

Pleasant Grove sits in northern Utah County between Lindon and American Fork, with the Wasatch foothills (Grove Creek and Battle Creek canyons) directly east. Roughly 40,000 residents call the city home. The grid is anchored by historic downtown along Main Street and Battle Creek Drive, with freeway access at the Pleasant Grove Boulevard exit on I-15. Housing stock ranges from century-old homes in the historic core to mid-century ramblers in central PG, 1990s–2000s family homes on the east bench, and active new construction north of the freeway.

Why people move to Pleasant Grove

Families move to Pleasant Grove for the trees, the schools, and the sense of tradition. The annual Strawberry Days celebration anchors a small-town identity that has held up through decades of growth. Retirees stay because they have lived here for thirty or forty years — and many of their adult children buy nearby to keep the next generation close. Commuters reach Silicon Slopes in under ten minutes, with Orem and American Fork shopping a short drive away.

Pleasant Grove homeownership snapshot

Pleasant Grove has one of Utah County's deepest long-tenured owner bases — many homes have been in the same family for decades, producing substantial equity positions. Typical 2026 detached prices land in the mid-$500Ks to high-$800Ks depending on neighborhood and condition, with newer construction north of the freeway and on the bench trading higher. Reverse-mortgage interest is meaningful here given the proportion of homeowners 62+ holding large equity stakes.
