Right in the heart of Utah sits a quiet oasis that's quickly drawing people's attention. Located just an hour from Provo, the small town of Ephraim offers a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life while still providing easy access to many of the amenities residents want and need.
Canyons Townhomes is currently constructing beautiful new townhomes in Ephraim, with move-ins beginning in May. They offer the perfect blend of small-town comfort and mountain serenity. Reservations are now open — and here's why these homes are worth reserving while you can.
Unexpected comfort and thoughtfulness
Canyons Townhomes offer great value without sacrificing desirable amenities. These homes each feature:
- 1,670 finished square feet of living space.
- Private, fully fenced yards.
- Two-car garage big enough for a pickup.
- 3 and 4 bedroom designs.
- Open kitchen with working pantry.
- Large windows.
- Scandinavian modern architecture with wood siding.
- Large storage closet for seasonal items.
- EV charging outlet in the garage.
For those craving fresh air and outdoor adventure, Ephraim Canyon in the Manti-La Sal National Forest delivers. Hiking, biking, OHV riding, rock climbing, fishing and camping are all popular options here. The area is also home to the famous Skyline Drive — a 100-mile four-wheeler's paradise that offers breathtaking views and the feeling of being on top of the world.
Nearby Snow College brings youthful energy and a lively college-town atmosphere without overwhelming the community. Two temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are also located just minutes away, adding to the area's appeal for many residents.
With so much to offer, it's no surprise that Ephraim is experiencing steady growth. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city's population increased by 10.7% from 2020 to 2024 — a notable jump for a small town. More people are discovering what makes Ephraim special, and those who move now can truly get in ahead of the curve.
Convenient location
In real estate, "location, location, location" matters for a reason. While you can personalize a home in many ways, its location is something you'll live with every day — and Canyons Townhomes in Ephraim delivers on all fronts.
Located near local schools and two nearby temples, these townhomes also sit right at the entrance to Ephraim Canyon, offering quick access to outdoor recreation and scenic surroundings. It's a location that balances everyday convenience with the beauty of Utah's outdoors.
Beautiful Scandinavian architecture
Ephraim's history is closely tied to its Scandinavian roots. According to the Ephraim Heritage Museum, about 90% of the city's population was of Scandinavian descent in 1880. Residents still celebrate that heritage today through the annual Scandinavian Heritage Festival, held on the Snow College campus over Memorial Day weekend.
The festival includes a Viking village, blacksmith demonstrations, combat reenactments and traditional foods such as æbleskiver (Danish pancakes). Activities such as a treasure hunt, a wife-carrying contest and a grand parade are accompanied by folk music, dancing and storytelling, making it a long-standing community event.
Canyons Townhomes pays homage to this tradition with modern, Scandinavian-inspired architecture that's just as pleasant to look at as it is to live in. Visitors to your home may even pause to admire the exterior before ever stepping inside.
Great value
Buying a home shouldn't be limited to only the extremely wealthy, and Canyons Townhomes aims to make homeownership more accessible. The community offers a competitive cost per square foot, along with options to help with closing costs and interest rate buy-downs. Each home is also backed by a 10-year warranty, providing added peace of mind.
Efficient design
Canyons Townhomes are designed with functionality in mind. The two-car garage has enough space to accommodate a full-size truck. The open loft can serve as a fourth bedroom or as flexible living space. The walk-in pantry includes an inside countertop with outlets so appliances can be kept plugged in and out of sight, allowing the clutter to disappear behind the door. A three-way mirror in the primary bathroom and oversized windows help maximize both usability and natural light.
Speaking of natural light, many townhomes have small, inadequate windows that make you feel boxed in. In contrast, Canyons Townhomes homes feature oversized windows that flood every room with natural light and frame spectacular views of the nearby mountains.
These rooms deliver what your mind and body need: abundant sky, mountain vistas and a connection to the outdoors, even when you're inside.
Beautiful touches
Complementing the Scandinavian-inspired architecture, each home features a brightly colored entry door that adds personality and curb appeal. Backyards are fully fenced for privacy, while still offering homeowners the opportunity to personalize the space to suit their needs.
A master-planned community
As many homebuyers know, choosing a home is about more than just the house itself — it's also about the surrounding community. Canyons Townhomes is part of a master-planned development that includes a new hospital, retail spaces, manufacturing facilities and office buildings. The area continues to grow while maintaining the small-town feel that makes Ephraim so appealing.
