      Ive Lived in Alpine for 14 years. Moved there from California. My kids were welcomed into the schools in a way that made the transition great. We have room in between our homes . Little more rural but shopping and entertainment is 10 minutes away ... No crime to speak of ... My neighbors are the best, I would have a hard time leaving ... There is no place like home!
      Tech companies are close and the jobs are here ( silicone slopes )
      Community involvement... And yes parades down main Street and the Rodeo during the ALPINE DAYS CELEBRATION! We love it here in Alpine Utah

      I’ve loved living in Alpine. I’ve been there for more than 12 years and it’s my “home”. It’s been great for me in my adolescent and adult years as I lived in a pretty diverse neighborhood - for Utah County ;P - but I would have to add that there are parts of Alpine that I don’t want to associate with. Alpine is known to be full of rich people who don’t know how to manage their money or their families. Something I’ve seen little eveidence of in my own life growing there. But no place is perfect. Except for I always felt like I lived in a resort area with the lovely mountains in our backdoor!
      Alpine is without a doubt the best neighborhood I’ve ever lived in. It contains some of the most beautiful houses that I’ve ever seen, both interior and exterior. The people there might be incredibly wealthy, but they are still some of the most kind and down to earth people I’ve ever met. Close to our house is a large park that is the heart of the community where we have spent several dozen hours on runs or playing tennis. It seems like every week we meet someone new who is a person of i slur ve too, such as a Utah Senator, an ex-NBA player, and an NFL player. Alpine is wonderful and we love it.
