Wasatch

The Tree Streets — Provo's beloved east-bench classic

The Wasatch neighborhood is better known by its nickname: the Tree Streets, where Cherry Lane, Locust Avenue, Aspen Avenue and their siblings climb the east bench under a genuine canopy. It's the neighborhood Provo residents point to when they talk about where they'd love to live.

Where it is

The east bench south of campus, roughly 900 East up to the foothills between Center Street and the Rock Canyon area.

The housing

Character homes spanning a century — cottages, mid-century customs, and bench-top builds — on streets that sell themselves on canopy alone. Turnover is famously low.

Schools

Provo City School District; Wasatch Elementary is the neighborhood school. Confirm current boundaries with the district.

Getting around

Ten minutes to campus or downtown; the trailheads are the real amenity.

Parks & outdoors

Kiwanis Park (the Tree Streets' living room)
Y Mountain and Slate Canyon trail access

Who it fits

Buyers playing the long game for a storied street — and willing to wait for inventory.
