About Student Housing in Pleasant Grove
Pleasant Grove is a Utah County city between Provo and Lehi, positioned in the I-15 corridor where student housing blends with the broader tech worker market. UVU students account for a meaningful share of renters here, particularly those who work or intern at Silicon Slopes companies nearby. Rents are moderate by Utah County standards — lower than Lehi's inflated tech market, higher than Springville. The city lacks the concentrated student apartment ecosystem of Provo or Orem, which means more house rentals and private landlord operations, and more flexibility on lease terms.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Pleasant Grove
Near State Street (Main Corridor)
The most practical zone for students — bus access to UVU and reasonable proximity to I-15 for those who drive. Mix of apartments and rental homes.
East Pleasant Grove
Quieter residential area at the foothills — more single-family house rentals. Popular with students who want more space and do not mind the car-dependent lifestyle.
Getting Around Pleasant Grove as a Student
Here's what you need to know about getting around Pleasant Grove.
Public Transit
UTA buses run along State Street connecting to Provo and Orem, with UVU accessible via transfer. FrontRunner's American Fork station is a few miles north and accessible by bus for rail commutes. Service is functional but not frequent.
Walking and Biking
Pleasant Grove is not walkable. The street grid is suburban and oriented around cars. Biking along State Street toward Orem is feasible for motivated students. The Murdock Canal Trail runs through the city and provides recreational biking infrastructure.
Parking
Easy and abundant. No permit zones, most apartments include parking. Not a consideration here.
