The city uses a strategic, three-pronged approach — master planning, partnerships and data-driven decision making — to balance rapid growth with the needs of current residents. Master planning ensures that key transportation corridors and open spaces are preserved as the city expands, allowing roads and other infrastructure to be built and improved as funds become available. Collaborations with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) are essential to ensuring that the infrastructure needed for an expanding community is developed efficiently.

Saratoga Springs has also been at the forefront of using technology to manage growth. By employing GIS dashboards and other data tools, city leaders can anticipate and respond to the impacts of rapid expansion. From 2020 to 2024, the city’s population grew approximately 52%, reaching an estimated 69,293 residents based on an average household size of 4.16.

Much of this growth has occurred in master-planned communities such as Wander, Legacy Farms, Mount Saratoga and Wildflower. These developments provide a wide range of housing options, including single-family homes on smaller lots, internal accessory dwelling units (IADUs) and assisted living facilities, accommodating a variety of household types. Additionally, nearly 20,000 entitled and planned housing units throughout the city signal continued growth to meet the state’s housing needs.

Saratoga Springs is proud of its role in providing homes in Utah and remains committed to data-driven, sustainable growth that benefits both current and future residents.
