MSN’s The Street has dubbed Utah as one of the top five disaster-resistant real-estate locations. Having declared only seven major disasters in the last 57 years, and none in the last five, Utah has earned its top spot. The greater part of the disasters we have dealt with came from severe storms and subsequent flooding. So when the flooding comes, head for higher ground; such as Park City’s luxury hotels, ski resorts, and posh homes which are all 7,000 feet above sea level!

CNNMoney has answered the question on nearly everyone’s mind, “Where are the jobs?” Out of 25 counties in the United States, Utah County came in at number 8, with a special emphasis on American Fork, Lindon, and Provo. With a job growth of 47.1% between 2000 and 2010, along with major companies like the National Security Agency and Overstock.com making homes here, this really is the place!
