Size Matter In West Jordan ? What Does ?
I was looking for my Real Estate Ad in the West Jordan issue of the Valley Journal when I noticed the article about the disagreement between the U.S. Census bureau and the city regarding whether there are enough people living here[ 100,000 ] to qualify as a First Class City. I thought, so what? Who cares how many homes are built and how many people live in those houses ? Really, isn't it all about being a great place to live.? Isn't it about providing for your own personal needs throughout the various stages of your life?
What about my stages, are they different ? how have they changed ? When I first moved to the south end of the Salt Lake valley I overlooked the lack of transportation, for more modest home prices, and an outstanding school system. Later on I stayed because employment opportunities had moved south, along with shopping and services. Lately I have been thinking of the next phase of my life. I don't want to give anything away but now I'm thinking of health care, & senior services. [I guess that does give some things away ]
Health care and Senior services are a part of my thought processes now. I was excited about the new $46 million dollar expansion at the Jordan Valley Hospital. The hospital will add 3 floors and 95 new beds,nearly 97000 sq. ft. of inpatient rehab space, provide new operating suites, and enlarge the emergency and maternity units. [I wont need that one]. I know it's not just for me, the hospital also services South Jordan , Riverton, Herriman, Taylorsville and other communities in the South Salt Lake Valley. How about the West Jordan Senior Center, an active and exciting social setting where for a $2.00 donation I can have lunch every day after my weight loss program and just before my AARP drivers safety classes. [not that I need them]. Parties,classes,dances and volunteer opportunities; maybe my next 50 years will be better than my last-- years.
What it all means is if your buying in West Jordan, it's a great place to live. If your selling your home youv'e got something worth selling. If your just staying put. [like me] It's a wonderful place to be.
