Springville sits just south of Provo in Utah County and functions as an affordable overflow market for BYU and UVU students who get priced out of Provo or want more space. The city has a more suburban character than Provo with less of the contracted-housing ecosystem, which means more flexibility on lease terms but fewer apartment complexes designed specifically for students. Rents run lower than north Provo, and the commute to BYU or UVU is short by car. Students who land here tend to be upperclassmen or graduate students who want more independence from the student complex environment.
Springville's most walkable area — older apartment buildings and some access to local shops. Closest to the I-15 on-ramp for the quick Provo commute.
The most popular with BYU students — shorter drive to campus, mix of apartments and rental houses. Slightly more expensive than central Springville but still lower than Provo.
Here's what you need to know about getting around Springville.
UTA buses run between Springville and Provo with service to BYU and UVU. The routes are functional but slow compared to driving — plan on 20-30 minutes to campus by bus. FrontRunner's Provo station is accessible via bus for longer-range connections.
Springville is not particularly walkable as a city. Near downtown, biking to the bus stop or into Provo's south end is doable. The terrain is flat, which helps. Most students here have a car.
Easy and free. Standard suburban parking situation — every apartment includes a space and there are no permit zones.
Common questions from students searching for housing.
Springville typically runs $450-$750/mo per person — noticeably cheaper than comparable Provo units. It is one of the better value options for BYU and UVU students who want Utah County location without Provo prices.
