We have decided to build a house rather than buy a house. I stumbled on an Ivory Homes community in American Fork that seems rural (surrounded by farmer fields) but is actually close to everything you could ever want! It's a twin home, but there are only 3 of us in our family so it's really perfect, and we are surrounded by nice single family homes, so it is the best of everything!
We are sooooo excited! It should be done being built in the spring of next year.
