Best Apartments Near Salt Lake City, UT: Why Point of View in Draper Is a Top Pick in 2026
POINT OF VIEW APARTMENTS CLUBHOUSE
If you've been searching "apartments in Salt Lake City" and keep seeing listings in cities you've never heard of Draper, Sandy, South Jordan, Lehi you're not doing anything wrong. Greater Salt Lake City is made up of more than a dozen connected cities along the Wasatch Front, and most people who live and work in "The Salt Lake area" don't actually live inside Salt Lake City's official limits.
This guide answers the questions we hear most from renters comparing neighborhoods, including people moving from out of state who aren't sure which city to even search.
Is Point of View in Salt Lake City or in Draper, Utah?
Point of View Apartments is located in Draper, Utah, a city at the southern end of the Salt Lake Valley, about 20 miles (roughly 25–30 minutes without traffic) south of downtown Salt Lake City. Draper is part of the broader Salt Lake City metro area, the same commuter shed, the same job market, the same mountain views but it's its own city with lower density, newer construction, and quicker access to hiking and biking trails than most of the urban core. If your search brought you here from "Salt Lake City apartments," Draper is very much on the table: it's one of the fastest-growing parts of the valley and sits inside the Silicon Slopes tech corridor that runs from Sandy through Draper and Lehi.
What's the best area to live if I'm relocating to the Salt Lake City area?
It depends on your commute and priorities, but Draper is one of the strongest options for people relocating for tech, healthcare, or corporate jobs along the I-15 corridor, since it sits roughly in the middle of the Salt Lake–to–Provo job stretch. Renters who want mountain access (hiking, mountain biking, and a nearby paragliding launch), a quieter residential feel, and a shorter reverse commute to Silicon Slopes employers tend to prefer Draper over downtown Salt Lake City. Renters who want to walk to nightlife or don't own a car often prefer downtown instead. Point of View sits in Draper with panoramic views of the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountains, making it a popular choice for people who want valley access without downtown density.
How far is Point of View from Salt Lake City International Airport?
Point of View is about 25 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport, roughly a 30-minute drive depending on traffic. Draper's TRAX light-rail station (Draper Station) is about 3 miles away, giving residents a car-free option into downtown Salt Lake City and the airport line.
What floor plans and pricing does Point of View offer?
Point of View offers 1- and 2-bedroom floor plans, including penthouse suites with 11-foot ceilings:
1 Bedroom: approximately 690–781 sq. ft.
2 Bedroom: approximately 989–1,084 sq. ft.
Pricing and availability change with the season, so current renters should confirm exact rates with the leasing office, but the community is generally positioned as an attainable option for the Draper/South Salt Lake Valley market compared to newer luxury builds closer to downtown.
Is there a current move-in special at Point of View?
