Living in Draper: Where Luxury Meets Adventure

As a Realtor based right here in Draper (my office is on State Street!), I see firsthand why this city is one of the most sought-after locations on the Wasatch Front. Draper sits perfectly between Salt Lake City and the "Silicon Slopes" tech corridor in Lehi, making it the ultimate location for commuters who want a luxury lifestyle.

Draper is famous for two things: Views and Trails. With the world-class Corner Canyon mountain biking trails in your backyard and the Flight Park overhead, it is an outdoor lover's paradise. Whether you are looking for a view lot in South Mountain or a horse property near the Jordan River, Draper offers a prestigious community feel with incredible amenities like the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium.
