Where in Utah to straddle the big city and small town feels (It's Saratoga Springs)

If any of you are familiar with northern Utah county, you will know that home sales in Saratoga Springs have slowed a bit.  Well, big surprise, but allow me to put in a plug for this community.  I hope this won't seem like a typical "live in Utah" post, because I really am familiar with Saratoga Springs and I think it has something to offer.  

My sister just moved to the Stillwater neighborhood there, and the first thing that would make someone want to follow is the stunning view of Utah lake.  Mind you, this is not the same lake as seen from Provo.  Literally it is of course, but it actually looks nice from the west shores.  Those buyers getting in early are building with large windows on the east side of their homes so as to allow the beauty to come through in living color.  

If you like living close to recreational spots, this is also a plus for Saratoga Springs.  Water sports and mountain trails are within minutes.  In Stillwater, you can ride up the mountain side on your four wheelers and it's as if you've left northern Utah.  

If a smaller town feel isn't for you, then you might be better off in Salt Lake, but many people enjoy the feel of Saratoga Springs and it's neighboring Lehi just because it isn't Salt Lake.  Again this is a matter of opinion, but farms still abound in the area.  And if you've heard it's too far out there, well I'd say to give the drive a try.  It really isn't that bad.
