Very nice area to live! Most people are quite friendly, police are very often patrolling areas to ensure safety, parks and facilities are quite nice. Very family friendly area, many great nearby public schools, some of which were just built and are brand new! Can be a bit on the expensive side to live in Draper but if you can afford it, it's a very nice place to live!

I've lived in Draper for about four years now. It is a great town. There are a lot of great outdoor activities in Draper, with lots of mountain biking and hiking trails. It is a beautiful town, with a mix of old and new. So many new stores and restaurants are opening up all the time. You can get to downtown Salt Lake City so quickly. It is very convenient to the airport. People love to come and visit us here from out of state. Since I've moved here, the area has grown so quickly. The downside of Draper is that it can be crowded and there is lots of traffic.
Draper is a wonderful and clean little town. It's become quite the large suburb as of late, but it is a great place to raise a family. One feels very safe walking around no matter what time of day it is, and there is easy access to plenty of outdoor activities such as: hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, etc. There are a variety of community activities as well which are offered throughout the year (rodeo, Draper Days, dances, theatre, etc.) however these activities are spread pretty thin throughout the year so the weekends can often be rather quiet. There is easy access to trax, an easy way to get downtown. There are plenty of places to shop and eat. It is just a beautiful and easy going place to live.
