Modern Townhouse in Vineyard
Vineyard is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, a Utah County boomtown on the shores of Utah Lake between Provo and Lindon. Most of its apartment stock is brand new — the city barely existed a decade ago — and it has quickly become a housing overflow market for UVU students and young professionals working in Silicon Slopes. Rents are competitive by Utah County standards, not cheap, and the newer construction means better amenities than most comparable Provo or Orem options. The UVX bus rapid transit route connects Vineyard to UVU's main campus in Orem, which is the transit lifeline for students here.
The most practical area for students without a car — within walking or biking distance of the UVX bus rapid transit stop connecting to UVU in Orem. Most new apartment construction is concentrated here.
The bulk of Vineyard's new housing development is along this corridor. Modern units, good amenities, but car-dependent without proximity to the UVX.
Here's what you need to know about getting around Vineyard.
The UVX bus rapid transit line runs through Vineyard and connects to UVU's Orem campus in about 10-15 minutes. FrontRunner's Orem/Provo station is also accessible from Vineyard by bus. For UVU students, the UVX makes the commute viable without a car if you live near the stop.
Vineyard is new enough that it has better bike infrastructure than most Utah cities of its size. The streets are wide and trail connections are being built as the city grows. Near the development core, biking to the UVX stop is easy. Beyond that zone, everything requires a car.
Abundant in every complex and on most streets. New construction means proper parking ratios. Not a concern.
Common questions from students searching for housing.
Vineyard's new construction skews prices higher than older Utah County markets — most units run $750-$1,100/mo per person. You are paying for newer amenities. If budget is the priority, Orem and Provo have older stock at lower prices.
