Some Utahns have a slower-paced life than others. Imagine living in a small enough town that your kids could just walk two blocks to the local park for the baseball game. No worries about rush hour traffic and a long commute - instead you probably own your own farm, ranch or home-based business. Life in Utah’s small towns certainly has its drawbacks...but the living is much more simple.

This list includes towns with fewer than 2,500 residents. They're listed here alphabetically.

1. Corinne, Box Elder County

At the 2010 census, Corinne only had 685 residents. While it’s a quiet little hamlet, the town is within six miles of both Brigham City and Bear River City.

2. Green River, Emery County

Green River has less than 1,000 residents, but it’s thriving. The town is located near Canyonlands National Park and the San Rafael Swell and of course is situated on the banks of the Green River, which is perfect for all kinds of recreation.

3. Helper, Carbon County

7. Manila, Daggett County

Imagine living in a wide-open space, where the sky is endless! The little farming community of Sterling (population 260) is just that kind of town.

13. Torrey, Wayne County

The tree-lined streets of Torrey give this little town of around 180 residents a really charming feel. It’s the gateway to Capitol Reef National Park, so there’s plenty to do.

14. Vernon, Tooele County

15. Wallsburg, Wasatch County

The sleepy little town of Wallsburg is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Mount Timpanogos towers above the town, which only has about 250 residents. It’s located about 23 miles up Provo Canyon, just 13 miles from Heber.

Let’s face it - life along the Wasatch Front is busy. Rush hour traffic twice a day, long hours at work in an office building, running kids around to soccer practice, piano lessons...it’s enough to make you wish you had a much quieter, easier life, isn’t it?
