Cache County city set against a mountain valley backdrop
Logan, Utah, serves as the county seat of Cache County and offers a blend of small-town living and scenic mountain landscapes. In northern Utah’s Cache Valley, the city provides daily views of the Bear River Range to the east and the Wellsville Range to the west. It sits approximately 80 miles north of Salt Lake City. A hallmark of the community is the historic Logan Utah Temple. The 19th-century Temple is a local landmark for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a prominent piece of the city’s architectural heritage. “I may be biased, but with all it has to offer, it’s really an incredible blend,” says Jette Youngblood, Realtor with Engel and Vokel and longtime resident of Logan. “It feels like a small town even with how much it has going on, and it has great access to the mountains. Logan provides a high quality of life for an affordable price.”

Local Logan restaurants and national favorites
Logan’s downtown showcases a variety of dining options, including Angie’s for American comfort food. Specialty shops and boutiques line the city’s historic Main Street, while national retailers and grocery stores like Walmart and Smith’s serve everyday needs. The Cache Valley Mall provides big box stores, and seasonal farmers' markets offer local produce and crafts. “You have all the chains and big names that you expect to see,” says Youngblood. “But there are a lot of family-owned places – like my favorite Italian restaurant, Le Nonne – that really lend Logan that small-town feel.”

Established Logan homes with loving renovations alongside new builds
The median home price in Logan stands around $395,000, compared to nearby Salt Lake City's $545,000. Styles reflect a mix of older brick homes near downtown and newer developments along the outskirts of the city. Neighborhoods like Cliffside and Hillcrest often feature mid-century brick ranches on quiet streets, while Wilson and Ellis contain a mix of craftsman-style bungalows and more recent construction. Closer to Utah State University, rental housing and condominiums cater to students. “It’s grown a lot over the last 20 years, so you definitely see a mix of older and newer styles,” says Youngblood. “Even with the older homes that have really nice renovations downtown, though, one thing is consistent – the prices are about as affordable as it gets for the area.”
