The Feel of the Place
Why People Love Living in Draper
Corner Canyon's trail system (Ann's Trail, Ghost Falls and more) connects to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, and Flight Park State Park at Point of the Mountain is a world-class paragliding spot.
Draper sits between Salt Lake City and Silicon Slopes, with TRAX Blue Line stations (Kimballs Lane and Draper Town Center) and a FrontRunner station. Loveland Living Planet Aquarium and Draper Days in July (rodeo, parade and fireworks) are local favorites, and The Point, a 600-acre redevelopment of the former state prison site, is under construction.
Housing runs from condos and townhomes to gated golf-course homes and mountaintop view homes.
