Orem sits in Utah County along the eastern shore of Utah Lake, between Provo to the south and Lindon to the north, with the Wasatch Mountains rising sharply to the east. The city extends from the lake shore up through residential neighborhoods into the foothills, serving as a bedroom community for workers throughout the Utah Valley corridor from American Fork to Spanish Fork. Home to Utah Valley University and anchored by University Parkway's commercial strip, Orem's economy centers on education, retail, and technology companies drawn to the Provo-Orem metro area. The population skews young and family-oriented, with strong ties to both the university and the broader Silicon Slopes tech ecosystem.
