Edgemont
Northeast Provo's classic family bench
← All Provo neighborhoodsEdgemont is northeast Provo's flagship family neighborhood — established streets climbing gently toward the foothills, strong schools nearby, and a location that splits the difference between BYU, the canyon, and Orem.
Where it is
The northeast bench roughly from 2950 North to the Orem line, between University Avenue's corridor and the foothills.
The housing
Ramblers, two-stories, and split-levels from the 1960s onward, heavily owner-occupied, with premium pockets toward the bench.
Schools
Provo City School District; Edgemont Elementary and Canyon Crest Elementary both sit in the area, with Timpview High on the bench to the south. Confirm boundaries with the district.
Getting around
Ten minutes down University Avenue to campus; the canyon mouth and Orem retail are equally close.
