American Fork Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Utah

American Fork: Located in the heart of Utah County, American Fork is a pleasant mix of small-town goodness and modern development. Discovered by trappers from the American Fur Company -- who trapped along the American Forks river that starts on the south slopes of Mount Baldy, or Bald Mountain -- the city was settled by Mormon pioneers in 1850 and incorporated on June 4, 1853. It is now Utah's 15th-largest city with a population of some 21,000. In recent years, the area has been attracting a number of high-tech firms due to its educated workforce, low business costs and excellent quality of life. Just minutes from American Fork’s quaint Main Street is the new Utah Valley Business Park, home of Dentrix and Intel. Home prices are very affordable. Condominiums are available for less than $100,000. Single-family homes start at just over $100,000 and run to $300,000 and more.
