Buying in Lindon? Change Who Holds the Keys
Unlike rental-heavy Orem next door, Lindon is a city of owners. Census estimates show 80.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied and 77.4% are detached single-family houses. The median owner-occupied value of $675,500 sits well above Orem's $472,300. So in Lindon, the usual reason to rekey is a purchase, not a lease ending.
Much of the housing dates from the 1990s: the median home was built in 1997, and 36.1% of units went up that decade. A house that age may be on its second or third owner, and a deadbolt or two may have been swapped along the way. Nobody at the closing table can tell you how many keys were cut along the way, or who still has one in a kitchen drawer.
Newer homes are filling in too. Ivory Homes' Anderson Farms area, just off I-15, mixes custom homes with townhomes that Ivory markets to first-time buyers. Those doors passed through the builder and the finish crews before they reached you.
Lindon still calls itself "a little bit of country." If your property has a detached garage, a shop, or a gate with a keyed lock, count those cylinders when you call so the quote covers all of them.
