Our Take

Roy offers good schools and low flood risk, but it's almost entirely car-dependent with little walkability or public transit. If you value a quiet, family-friendly environment and are okay with a longer commute to Ogden, it can work, but it lacks nightlife and convenience for those who prefer walking or biking.
