I'm from Orem. Grew up there when it still had some undeveloped orchards to play in. Crazy that Orem now has the highest population density for cities in Utah (if I heard right). You have 100K people in ~18 square miles. Nice neighborhoods to stroll, but walkability in Orem is nil. Lived in PG and other areas of UT County and also South SL County - even with our horrid air quality on the Wasatch Front, walkability isn't even a thought in planning and development, sadly.
Live in Marmalade now and we can walk/bike to the Lee's for groceries. Walk to the library. Walk to the barber. Walk to the dry cleaners. Walk to multiple restaurants too (including the best wings in Utah) - all just a couple blocks from home! We're loving the way this old neighborhood is growing and don't miss UT County at all.
