Most Underrated College Town: Logan UT

Posted by kirk on Feb 21, 2012 in Articles | 0 comments

Kudos to my home town! Logan Utah is officially the most underrated college town in the country, according to nextgenjournal.com.

Big deal?  Yes.  When you take a look at some of the other heavyweights that rounded out the top 10, you realize that this was legitimate.

Here’s the irony.  I hate that I’m blogging about this, because the very thing that keeps Logan such a great place is the fact that there aren’t many people who know about this fantastic city.  Logan is a gem of a city that’s off the beaten tracks of the interstate, so unless you intend to travel straight to Logan, you aren’t going to end up here.  That’s why it’s such a well kept secret.

Now to be fair, Logan is a place that does have its downsides.  For example, if you are a student, parking is a nightmare.  And USU is following the course of many universities, where you get the feeling that academics is beginning to fall second to athletics.  In many departments, they are crippled by a lack of funding while the football team is granted funding for yet another practice building while their other two are still facilities which can be envied by just about any sports enthusiast.  Yes, I understand that donors make these facilities possible, but it’s still a sad reality that sports get the money in a university that is suppose to be about learning.

To put a plug in for Logan regarding real estate (because that’s what I do, even though I’m no realtor).  Logan is an area that will always have a steady demand for housing, especially investment properties, as there will always be a need for students.  The value of real estate here has been steady, even through the housing crisis.  While job opportunities are bleak here after graduation, many people are beginning to create jobs and industry in Logan.  The city is one of the safest in America, year after year, and it is a wholesome environment to raise a family.  Logan Utah is a great place to buy some real estate.  Now I may be bias, because I’ve grown up here… but I’m also bias in thinking that Logan is the best college town, and look who was right according to this article!  So check out some Logan Homes For Sale!
