Why People Love Living in Taylorsville
Taylorsville sits between I-215 and Bangerter Highway, and the all-electric Midvalley Express bus line opened in April 2026, linking the city to TRAX at West Valley Central and to TRAX and FrontRunner at Murray Central.
Valley Regional Park covers about 90 acres with disc golf, ballfields and trails, and the Jordan River Parkway runs along the city's east edge.
The Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center next to City Hall hosts a full season of shows, and Salt Lake Community College's Redwood campus is in town.
