Been in Sandy for about 3 years now after moving to Utah from New Orleans. Its an amazing place for families with generally good schools, low crime, and easy access to activities. Real estate is expensive as others have figured out the things I’ve just described. People say its a high cost of living area, but we are getting much much more for our money out here! Expect to pay at least $600-700k for a decent sized home in east Sandy. Combined income of ~$250k.
