Plain City can be found in Weber County, Utah, with Bear River Bay on the Great Salt Lake only a few miles to the west, and Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest a little to the east. The city of Ogden isn't far south, with Salt Lake City about 40 miles away down Interstate 15.
Crime rates in Plain City are lower than average, while the percentage of owner-occupied real estate is also high. This means that the housing market is stable, but it doesn't bode too well for any intrepid renters out there looking for places to live in Plain City. Renting an apartment is, in fact, almost impossible in the city because there are barely any apartment buildings. The city is about 87 percent family homes and 13 percent mobile homes, with pretty slim pickings in between. For house rentals, this is great, but if you're simply keener on a smaller place to call home, you're going to have a truly tough time finding an apartment in Plain City.
You'll have a grand old choice of one when you come neighborhood scouting in Plain City. There's a single neighborhood that people live in, with most homes concentrated in the middle and wetlands leading out toward the Great Salt Lake to the west. Across the road from City Hall you'll find Lee Olsen Park, where there are a couple of baseball diamonds.
It may be an incorporated city, but Plain City truly is a small suburban area to the north of the larger city of Ogden to the south. With a WalkScore of just 18 you're almost entirely car dependent in the city, and there's little in the way of amenities, so shopping, dining out, and socializing is generally done in nearby areas, although a couple of restaurants -- Mt. Jack and Runyen Enterprises -- are in the city itself.
You're not going to find an apartment in the area, so if you're looking for one you're better off searching nearby. Many people commute to work as the area is primarily residential, and with Salt Lake City easily reachable down Interstate 15 it's perfectly possible to work in the big city and live in the quiet suburbia of Plain City, if you're looking for the best of both worlds.
