Submitted by Naomi M on Mon, 10/08/2007 - 05:00.Location is everything when it comes to finding appreciating home values. Case-in-point, Orem, in northeastern Utah. Orem is part of a population belt that runs from the northern border of the state west of the Wasatch Mountains down to the southern end of the Salt Lake City area.
Many of the newer residents have come from California or are employed in technology jobs. There are three colleges in the area. As such, Orem qualifies to be called a ``brain-burb'' for its reliance upon jobs in innovative knowledge industries.
