Small town vibes with walkable streets

Bordered to the east by Downtown Provo, Rivergrove is a suburban neighborhood conveniently located near Brigham Young University and Provo Airport. Like the Downtown area, these residential streets are broken up into neat blocks of homes with the occasional restaurant or shop interspersed. Location is critical, with many nearby spots walkable. “Rivergrove is much more convenient than surrounding areas for foot traffic and driving to stores, schools and other places,” says Realtor Denise Martin of Realtypath Home and Family. Folks appreciate Rivergrove for its small-town feel and easy access to amenities.

Nearby dining and shopping via Route 500

A long walk in the park can create an appetite. Fortunately, there are several restaurants just a few blocks away. Starting the morning can be difficult for some, so locals stop into Rugged Grounds for a quick cup. Hruska’s Kolaches offers creations both savory and sweet. Classics like bacon, egg and cheese rolled into a handheld pastry make for an easy morning snack. Aptly named for its contents, The Meat serves generous portions of cheesesteak and seasoned fries. Just a short hop up Route 500 is the Deseret Industries Thrift Store. Folks can browse for shoes, furniture or books, depending on what they need for the home. Target is in the same area, providing grocery basics and home essentials.

Shop local in Downtown Provo

There’s no shortage of things to do in Rivergrove, let alone Downtown Provo. The Provo Farmers Market, held at Pioneer Park, allows local vendors to show their collections of baked goods, preserves, jewelry and clothing. The Provo Recreation Center has various amenities, like an entire water park with slides outside and basketball courts inside. “Right by the rec center is a great skate park,” Martin says. Kids can pop wheelies and test their balance on the various ramps and rails. Seasonal happenings downtown include things like the Holiday Window Competition, where local businesses attempt to outdo each other with decorations. Another classic is trick-or-treating, with music and candy offered on Center Street.

Several parks, including Paul Ream Wilderness Park

Unlike most neighborhoods which feature one or two parks at the most, Rivergrove has six. Paul Ream Wilderness Park is its crown jewel. This expansive area has a duck pond where locals can sit and watch the birds frolic in the water. Cook up something savory at one of the available grills or relax under the gazebo's shade. Locals can roam the park’s seven acres by utilizing the walking trail. For those larger groups celebrating a special event, reserve the pavilion at least eight days in advance.

Car-friendly with the Utah Transit Authority as an alternative

Although owning a car in this neighborhood is preferred, the Utah Transit Authority offers bus and rail lines that zig-zag around Downtown. One bus route connects the airport to downtown for convenience. The Utah Valley Express, or UVX, bus line runs through the heart of Downtown Provo and BYU. This one connects several routes at the Provo Central Station, between Freedom Boulevard and University Avenue. FrontRunner, a rail line, weaves its way northwest from Downtown Provo toward Orem.
