With multiple active listings on Bountiful’s East Bench, I’ve had the opportunity lately to spend some time in this picturesque neighborhood, and personally – I’m sold. Nestled against the scenic Wasatch Mountains and just a quick commute into Salt Lake City, this area is becoming a popular choice for buyers who seek high quality of life without the big city price tag. It’s known for its quiet charm, upscale homes, and close-knit community – not to mention the incredible views. Whether you’re drawn to the miles of nearby hiking trails, the panoramic sunsets, gorgeous golf courses or simply the quieter pace of life, living on Bountiful’s East Bench means enjoying the best of it all.   

Here’s just a few reasons why you might consider this area as your next landing spot… 

1 – Scenic Views: with panoramic views at every turn, golden hour looks good up here.  

2 – Recreation: With close access to hiking and biking trails and well-maintained parks, you get year-round recreation while staying close to home. North Canyon Park, which is steps from this Huntington Drive home, offers courts, playgrounds, walking paths and community gathering spaces – all with a beautiful backdrop. The East Bench is also home to two premier golf courses: Bountiful Ridge and Eaglewood – where “scenic” doesn’t even begin to cover it. Savor views of the Great Salt Lake, Wasatch mountains and sprawling Davis County between swings. 

3 – Community: This is the kind of neighborhood where you put down roots. Whether you’re a daily dog walker or stroller pusher, you’ll find your people here. With a strong sense of community and small-town feel, it’s the kind of place where people know their neighbors. 

4 – Affordability: To put it simply – you just get more bang for your buck in terms of space than nearby SLC. Plus, as Bountiful’s popularity continues to rise, you’re looking at a solid long-term investment for a primary home or rental property.

5 – Ideal Location: situated outside of the hustle/bustle yet far from isolated, Bountiful offers a quiet lifestyle while staying close to the city’s job market, nightlife, shopping, and dining.
