American Fork is one of the most incredible places to live! It has a very small town vibe, but is also large enough to be a solid city in the middle of Utah County where people can come to. Everyone is kind and overall, the town is well-kept and very safe. I can go just about anywhere within American Fork and feel very at home and comfortable. Nothing comes to mind in terms of things to change!
American Fork is a growing city and is close to everything. I have lived here for nearly 20 years and have seen a lot of changes. Shopping, entertainment, recreation, and educational locations are all very close. The only real complaint I have about American Fork is the condition of its streets, although it is not hard to see that with everything the city has to get done, it does attempt to maintain its infrastructure. American Fork has an obviously strong public safety focus.
Generally a very good city to live in. It's a very safe area, especially at night, though late-night parties are few & far between. Currently real estate is horribly expensive, especially for the handful of apartments available in the area. Unfortunately American Fork and Utah Valley aren't very diverse, with well over 2/3 of the population being white, conservative Christians. The public school system is pretty good though definitely over-crowded.
