Areas We Serve · Salt Lake City
Taylorsville was built from three historic communities, including a WWII military base whose grid streets still define the Kearns neighborhoods. Nearly every home in the city was built between 1970 and 1999, which means original driveways, era-specific finishes, and a consistent housing character that rewards a crew who has worked here before. Taylorsville movers who know what that era of home requires before the truck ever leaves the yard.
Three Historic Communities, One Housing Era, and a Military Grid That Still Shapes the Streets
Taylorsville was incorporated in 1996 from the historic communities of Taylorsville and Bennion, with a portion of the former Camp Kearns military base that trained tens of thousands of soldiers during World War II. When the base closed in 1946, its land became the grid-pattern residential neighborhoods that still define the Kearns corridor today. Nearly every home in the city was built between 1970 and 1999, giving Taylorsville a consistent housing character unlike newer suburban cities nearby.
Nearly every Taylorsville home was built between 1970 and 1999. Consequently, the city has a consistent housing character: original hardwood or carpet, 1970s and 1980s door casings, single or attached two-car garages from that era, and driveways sized for the vehicles of the time rather than today's full-size trucks. We ask about your home era at booking and brief the crew on what they are working with before departure.
The Kearns portion of Taylorsville follows the grid pattern of the original Camp Kearns WWII military base. The streets are regular and well-defined, however, some blocks have narrower lot frontages than comparable suburban addresses in nearby cities. Additionally, the area sits on the western side of the city closer to Bangerter Highway, which creates specific routing considerations for crews moving between Kearns and the Taylorsville and Bennion neighborhoods.
Taylorsville sits at the intersection of I-215 and Bangerter Highway, two of the busiest corridors in the west Salt Lake Valley. I-215 runs directly through the city, while Bangerter borders it to the west. As a result, peak hour congestion on both corridors affects crew transit times. We route around peak windows and check current access conditions before every Taylorsville move.
Our Process
A 1978 ranch near Bennion Hill and a 1993 two-story in Kearns are both Taylorsville, but they are different homes that benefit from different crew briefs. Here is how we plan for both.
We ask for your address, approximate build year, and garage configuration at booking. A 1970s Taylorsville ranch has different driveway width, garage clearance, and floor surface needs than a 1990s two-story. Starting with those details means the crew brief and equipment list are accurate before the job begins.
Original 1970s and 1980s driveways in Taylorsville are narrower than modern construction standards. Additionally, older garage openings may not accommodate standard-width equipment without damage to door casings. We confirm driveway dimensions and access constraints at booking for era-specific Taylorsville addresses.
We check I-215 and Bangerter Highway conditions before the crew departs for every Taylorsville move. Both corridors run through or border the city and have peak-hour congestion that adds time to any move. Accordingly, crew departure windows are timed around traffic rather than scheduled against it.
Taylorsville homes from the 1970s through the 1990s frequently have original hardwood floors, vinyl tile, or carpet over concrete slab that requires different protection than modern construction. We arrive with floor runners, door-jamb guards, and furniture pads matched to the era of your specific home before anything moves.
We walk every room with you before the job is called complete. Your previous Taylorsville address leaves in the right condition. Your new home is set up the way you described it. We hold the same #BestMoveEver standard on a 1975 Taylorsville ranch that we hold on a brand-new Herriman townhome.
Who Calls Us
Taylorsville draws established families, SLCC students and staff, first-time buyers, and long-term west side residents who want quiet neighborhoods at a price below most of Salt Lake County. Here is who we help most.
Established Taylorsville families who have lived in the city since before it incorporated in 1996 and are moving within the same community. These are local moves between neighborhoods, often from larger homes to smaller ones as children leave and circumstances change.
Students and employees at Salt Lake Community College's main Taylorsville campus choosing the city for proximity to campus. The new MVX free bus line, which launched in April 2026 with a stop at the SLCC transit hub, adds car-free access across the valley for residents who rely on transit.
Buyers entering the Salt Lake market for the first time and choosing Taylorsville for median home prices in the lower to mid $400,000s, among the most affordable owner-occupied addresses in Salt Lake County. Most are established 1970s and 1980s homes with original character.
Families choosing Taylorsville for Granite School District and Taylorsville High School, home of the Warriors. The district serves a large and diverse student population across the west Salt Lake Valley, and Taylorsville High anchors the local school community.
Residents leaving Salt Lake City for Taylorsville's lower price point, quiet sidewalk-lined streets, and a central valley location with I-215 access. Taylorsville offers more square footage per dollar than most Salt Lake City addresses, with the same central valley connectivity.
Buyers drawn to the Bennion and historic Taylorsville core for the mid-century modern pockets, mature trees, and the quiet neighborhood character that has earned the area its reputation as the Harvard-Yale of the west side among longtime Salt Lake Valley residents.
Taylorsville Questions
Nearly every Taylorsville home was built between 1970 and 1999. As a result, the crew needs to account for original floor surfaces, 1970s and 1980s door casing dimensions, and garage clearances that differ from modern construction. We ask about your home era at booking and brief the crew before departure so no one is discovering these details on move morning.
Both I-215 and Bangerter Highway run through or border Taylorsville and carry significant volume during morning and evening commutes. Consequently, we time crew departure windows around peak traffic rather than scheduling against it, which reduces total move time and keeps your hourly cost lower.
Era-specific home protection and narrower driveway access may add some care time compared to newer open-plan construction. However, You Move Me charges an hourly rate with a flat travel fee and no hidden charges, confirmed before we book. Taylorsville is one of the more affordable move markets in Salt Lake County by home size and distance.
Camp Kearns trained tens of thousands of soldiers during World War II. When the base closed in 1946, its land became the residential grid that defines Kearns today. Consequently, Kearns streets are more regular but lot frontages are sometimes narrower than the Taylorsville and Bennion neighborhoods to the east. We ask for your specific address at booking so the right crew plan is built for your side of the city.
Mid-week moves avoid the weekend premium and lighter I-215 and Bangerter traffic keeps crew transit times lower. Furthermore, summer moves in Taylorsville are busy as Granite School District families target the school-year start in late August. Mid-week outside of July and August offers the best price and crew flexibility.
Taylorsville has consistent year-round move activity driven by its stable owner-occupant population and SLCC-related student turnover. Additionally, summer demand from Granite District families compresses available dates in July and August. Earlier booking gives more flexibility on crew size and move date, particularly for larger era homes that benefit from a three-person crew.
