Living in Springville: Utah's "Art City"

Springville is unique. Officially nicknamed "Art City," it is home to the Springville Museum of Art and a vibrant creative community. Beyond the arts, it is the gateway to Hobble Creek Canyon, one of the most beautiful golf and recreation areas in the state. Residents love the historic downtown feel combined with the stunning mountain backdrop.

The community is buzzing about the massive Springville High School Rebuild. The state-of-the-art campus is in its final construction phase and will officially welcome students in Fall 2026. Infrastructure is also getting a major upgrade with the 1600 South Interchange project, which is widening the key I-15 access point to five lanes, vastly improving the commute for south-side residents by Summer 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions About Springville

Why is it called Art City?
Springville has a century-old reputation for producing famous sculptors and painters. The city celebrates this heritage with the Springville Museum of Art and the annual Art City Days (June 6–13, 2026), featuring a massive parade and balloon festival.
How are the schools?
Excellent. Springville is part of the stable Nebo School District. The flagship Springville High School ("Home of the Red Devils") is undergoing a complete rebuild and will open its new, state-of-the-art campus in Fall 2026.
What is Hobble Creek Canyon?
Located just minutes from Main Street, this canyon offers camping, hiking, and the world-class Hobble Creek Golf Course. It is a major draw for buyers who want immediate access to nature without a long drive.
Is Springville a good investment?
Yes. Because it borders Provo (to the north) and Spanish Fork (to the south), it is perfectly positioned. It offers a slightly lower price point than Provo while keeping the same easy access to BYU and I-15, which will be even faster once the 1600 South Interchange is completed in 2026.
