Small-City Charm in Utah County's Most Central Location
Lindon is the quiet achiever of Utah County — a small city of 12,000 that most people drive through without realizing what they're missing. Positioned perfectly between Pleasant Grove and Orem, Lindon offers unbeatable centrality with a distinctly small-town atmosphere.
The city's compact size means you're never more than 5 minutes from I-15, yet neighborhoods feel peaceful and residential. Lindon has attracted families who want top-rated schools, reasonable lot sizes, and quick access to everything — without the bustle of larger neighboring cities.
For commuters, Lindon is ideal: 10 minutes to Lehi's tech corridor, 15 minutes to Provo, 35-40 minutes to Salt Lake. You get genuine small-city benefits — lower traffic, community feel, easier parking — while being central to everywhere you need to be.
