Living in Lehi: The Tech Hub of Utah (Silicon Slopes)

Lehi has rapidly transformed from a quiet farming town into the vibrant heart of "Silicon Slopes." Home to major tech giants like Adobe, Podium, and Ancestry, Lehi is the number one destination for professionals who want to live where they work. But Lehi isn't just about business; it is a family-focused community anchored by Thanksgiving Point and the Outlets at Traverse Mountain.

The area is currently seeing massive investment. Construction is actively progressing on the $11 Billion Texas Instruments expansion (LFAB2), which is set to begin production in 2026. Additionally, a major shift happened in education: following the recent district split, Lehi is now the anchor city for the newly formed Aspen Peaks School District, bringing local control back to our schools.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lehi

How are the schools in Lehi?
Big changes have arrived! Following the district split vote, Lehi is now part of the newly formed Aspen Peaks School District (formerly Central Alpine). The city is home to two major high schools: the historic Lehi High (Pioneers) and the newer, highly-rated Skyridge High (Falcons).
Is Lehi a good place for tech professionals?
It is the best place in the state. Known as "Silicon Slopes," Lehi is home to Adobe, Ancestry, and the new Texas Instruments campus. Living here means your commute is often less than 10 minutes, giving you more time to enjoy the incredible mountain views.
What is the 2100 North Project?
This is a major infrastructure upgrade converting 2100 North into a true freeway connecting I-15 to the Mountain View Corridor. Construction is in the final stages and is scheduled to wrap up in Spring 2026, drastically reducing east-west commute times.
