Living in Grantsville: Wide Open Spaces & New Horizons

Grantsville offers the best of rural Utah living just 40 minutes from Salt Lake City. Located on the quiet side of the Tooele Valley, it is famous for its large lots, horse properties, and agricultural roots. As the Salt Lake Valley fills up, Grantsville has become a boomtown for buyers who want land, new construction, and a true small-town feel.

The city is currently celebrating a new era of infrastructure. The brand new Deseret Peak High School is now open, providing a modern campus for local students. Just down the road, the Deseret Peak Complex is unveiling its fully rebuilt Aquatic Center in June 2026, creating a premier summer destination with new pools and a massive destination playground.
