Replying to Potentially moving to slc area

Might land a job up at alta this winter. If i do, there is a chance that my gf and I would move out. What are some good areas that we might like? We are both mid 20s, like good nightlife, but also the opportunity to take it easy and quiet at home. Heard Sugarhouse is fun, but wouldnt mind being closer to the canyon in sandy or cottonwood heights, any insight on those areas? Rental prices seem pretty reasonable all around, so not too worried. thanks!
