Dixon
Northwest of downtown — the Rec Center's neighborhood
← All Provo neighborhoodsDixon covers the blocks northwest of downtown, a straightforward, central neighborhood of older homes whose everyday advantage is location: the Provo Recreation Center, the library, downtown, and the river parkway are all within a short ride.
Where it is
Roughly 500 West out to the rail corridor, Center Street north toward 500 North where North Park picks up.
The housing
Early- and mid-20th-century single-family homes with scattered small apartment buildings; a balanced owner/renter mix.
Schools
Provo City School District serves the area from the surrounding central schools. Confirm any address with the district's boundary maps.
Every Provo neighborhood is served by Provo City School District, which runs independently of the Alpine reorganization. That guide covers open enrollment, the board, and the current boundary review.
If you are renting here
Deposits, repairs, landlord entry and eviction in Utah are governed by statute, not by whatever the lease says. Renters' rights in Utah sets out what the Fit Premises Act actually requires and the deadlines that apply to both sides.
Getting around
Five minutes to I-15 via Center Street; an easy bike ride to almost everything central.
