Local builder Woodside Homes is helping home hunters become homeowners this spring with tons of options for every taste and budget.
A home is more than a building. The entire surrounding area — the people, the land, the events, the traditions — they're all part of the package.But the building is important, too. Thankfully, Woodside Homes' new Harmony Place community in Salem offers both beautiful homes and a beautiful place to live.
If you're in the market for something new, here are a few reasons it may deserve a closer look.The sweet spot for comfort and convenienceIf you like the idea of living in a small town but still want access to the big city, Salem offers the best of both worlds.It's just 10 minutes away from Spanish Fork, 20 minutes away from Provo and a short 60-minute drive to Salt Lake. That makes commuting, shopping and dining easy. When the day is done, you get to return home to a quieter setting with a little more breathing room.Surrounded by natureDon't be surprised if you're not tempted to venture off into the big cities. There's plenty in Salem to keep you both relaxed and entertained. The town itself is surrounded by mountains, which not only provide a beautiful, scenic backdrop but also access to loads of outdoor recreation.Right in the middle of town sits Salem Pond, one of the community's most beloved gathering places. It's the perfect spot for those evening walks, afternoon picnics, early morning fishing or just a quiet moment by the water.

Small towns often have a way of bringing neighbors together, and Salem embraces that spirit throughout the year.Seasonal farmers' markets offer fresh produce and handmade goods. Summer concerts invite residents to gather outdoors and enjoy the warm evening air with friends and family.One of the biggest highlights each year is the Salem Days festival, typically held in early August. The celebration features a parade, fireworks and a full lineup of family-friendly activities. One of the more unique events is the cardboard duct tape regatta, where creative homemade boats take to the water. Last year's festivities also included movie nights in the park, a treasure hunt, a family cornhole tournament, a Dutch oven cook-off and a rodeo.Then, of course, there are the holidays. As winter approaches, the community gathers once again for the Pond Town Christmas Market in early December. Holiday music fills the air while visitors browse local vendors offering unique gifts and treats.Events like these help turn neighbor
