Staying quaint while growing fast

Geneva is embedded in Orem's natural beauty, giving locals panoramic views of the nearby mountain ranges and just a short drive to Utah Lake. What that inspires is a community of many creatives and those seeking to expand their palates. A recent explosion in growth has helped accommodate West Orem’s recently fast-growing population and their tastes. But despite this recent boom, Geneva remains untouched by the growing pains of construction, tourism and traffic.

Shopping and Dining

Geneva's western neighbor is growing fast and affecting the greater area. "Vineyard was the fastest growing neighborhood in the nation in 2020," says Knight. "The plans they have for it are pretty big.” Knight says this includes “a Santa Monica-style pier” along Utah Lake with retail, dining, and plenty to do. Some attractions have begun to open their doors, namely TopGolf, where locals go to practice their tee-offs and a Megaplex Movie Theater that screens films on IMax. But aside from Vineyards, Geneva is surrounded on all sides by commercial activity. This offers international experiences and local flavors in every direction. The Utah chain Apollo Burger has a location nearby for reasonably priced classics or wilder options, like the Hawaiian Teriyaki Burger. Oishii Sushi is another local favorite that fills up quickly and is known for its deep-fried Godzilla rolls. For home-cooked meals, Macey's grocery store sits next to Oishii, and WinCo Foods is down the street, though some prefer to source groceries from El Mexicano Market.

Toe-tapping theatrical opportunities

Geneva has a small art scene that gets the community together, demonstrated by private galleries, tattoo parlors, framing shops and vintage photography stores. The Hale Center Theater sits across from Geneva and hosts frequent theater performances for well-known productions such as "Seussical" and "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying." While the Hale Center Theater's youth performances are popular, artsy kids might also head to Center Stage Performing Arts Studio for dance classes and to show their progress at regular performances.

Homes to grow into

Geneva offers a taste of all housing types, including newly built modern traditional farmhouses and cutesy ranchers from the 1950s, plus condos, townhouses, manufactured homes and apartments for rent. “You have the UVU commuters, but also graduated students and young professionals who like living here and stick around to start families,” says local Realtor Jason Knight. Previously farmland, many properties have maintained a sense of their past with assorted floorplans and styles to accommodate different family sizes yet still allow frequent renovations. “These older houses built in the 50s have lots of bedrooms, and I think more and more people would rather sacrifice that extra bedroom for say, an office or a bigger kitchen,” says Local Realtor Cody Steck of Real Broker. But competition is fierce due to Geneva's proximity to Vineyard, a rapidly developing neighborhood directly west. This means Geneva could catch up with the rest of the Orem area, raising the currently expected price range of $260,000 to $550,000.

The only futsal courts in Orem

Despite a shared name, Geneva Park sits just south of the neighborhood. Though home to a shaded playground, tennis courts and horseshoe pits, the park's prized possession is its full-size futsal courts – the only ones in Orem. The Orem Skatepark is also just outside of Geneva on Wolverine Way, offering a space to practice kick-flips and inline skating. Remote areas are only about 5 miles east, at Mount Timpanogos Park's scenic hiking trails. 3 miles west, Utah Lake is another popular spot for hikes along the Shore Trail and swimming when water temperatures rise in the summer.

Light rail trips beyond Salt Lake City

The developments in Vineyard include a TRAX light rail station roughly 2 miles west of Geneva, offering trips between Provo all the way north to Ogden. Those traveling by car can do so with immediate access to Interstate 15. Bus routes do service Geneva, but only on its outermost major roads.

Changing school districts

Orem's Alpine School District recently began a major redistricting project affecting school attendance locations. For now, Geneva students begin at Parkside Elementary, move up to Orem Junior High, then finish at Timpanogos High. Parkside Elementary does not have a rating from Niche or GreatSchools, but Orem and Timpanogos receive scores of C-plus and A, respectively.

Things to consider

Though mostly removed from development happening in Vineyard, Geneva's westernmost homes will experience a noisier environment than others because of proximity to the interstate.
