Living in Pleasant Grove: The City of Trees

Pleasant Grove lives up to its name. Known as "The City of Trees," it offers a leafy, established feel that stands in stark contrast to the treeless new developments further west. It strikes a unique balance: the historic east side feels like a small town with its brick bungalows and Strawberry Days rodeo, while the west side (Valley Grove) has exploded into a modern corporate headquarters hub home to doTERRA and other major tech players.

The city is currently seeing its biggest commercial expansion in history. The Valley Grove district is booming, with a new Tru by Hilton hotel scheduled to open in March 2026 and a new Chick-fil-A (opened late 2025) servicing the busy office corridor. On the infrastructure front, Phase 2 of the massive State Street Widening project is scheduled for 2026, promising to finally relieve the congestion between PG and American Fork.

Neighborhoods & Lifestyle

  • Grove Creek Area: The premier bench location. These homes sit right at the trailhead to "The G" mountain and Battle Creek Falls, offering spectacular views.
  • Historic Downtown: The blocks surrounding the library and pool. This area defines the "City of Trees" vibe with mature sycamores and 1940s architecture.
  • The Mud Hole (Manila): Don't let the nickname fool you. The Manila area (north PG) is highly desirable for its larger lots and proximity to the Cedar Hills golf course.
