Timp
Quiet historic blocks east of downtown
← All Provo neighborhoodsTimp sits just east of downtown — a small, quiet quarter of historic homes that shares Maeser and Joaquin's early-Provo character while staying slightly off the student-traffic path. Memorial Park is effectively its front lawn.
Where it is
The blocks east of downtown around Center Street and 800–900 East, between Joaquin to the north and Maeser to the south.
The housing
Bungalows and period cottages, mostly small-lot single-family with some conversions; less student-dense than Joaquin one block north.
Schools
Provo City School District; Timpanogos Elementary is close by. Confirm boundaries with the district.
Getting around
Ten minutes by bike to BYU; UVX and downtown within a few blocks.
