The housing market has had its ups and down recently, but there is availability. Living in the town will not impact your budget negatively, and streets are mostly crime-free. The weather is nice.

Some of the best areas in Vernal Utah surround downtown Main Street. This area houses most of the retail venues in town. The city is an old oil town, with a large agriculture presence.
