theangler,
I lived in Logan for about 3 years. I loved Cache valley. If I were to move there now I would look at some of the towns around Logan, such as Providence or Paradise, Richmond, etc. Utah has a much slower pace than a lot of other states, such as California, but the pace in Logan is even slower than that. I used to get annoyed with that aspect of Cache Valley until I got used to it. Then I would get annoyed at the hustle and bustle of Salt Lake where I am from. I would definitely consider Logan again if I could find good work there. One thing to know about Logan is that it gets much colder in the winter. It is always about 15 degrees cooler than Salt Lake. However, that is a definite plus in the summer. When us Salt Lakers are roasting in 100 degree heat, folks in Logan are enjoying the 85 degrees there. And you don't spend much time outdoors in the winter anyway(except ice fishing!!!) so I see the climate there as a strong plus. And Logan is a sportsman's paradise. Good Fishing real close at several places. Logan canyon is beautiful, especially in the fall. Good people, good town. Students on campus at USU used to complain about having nothing to do. I beg to differ. They need to get a life and get outdoors. But if you like modern attractions, Logan has about one of everything so there really is more to do than fish.
I now live in Herriman, which is in the extreme southwest corner of the Salt Lake valley. This area is not growing, it is exploding. But it is a great area. I have been here about four years. We are contemplating moving into a bigger house. But the new places we are looking at are right in our same neighborhood. So I would highly recommend Herriman, South Jordan, and West Jordan, especially if you have young kids.
Hope this helps.
