Salt Lake City

About the area

Salt Lake City's east side is a string of historic, walkable neighborhoods between downtown and the Wasatch foothills, from the Victorian-era Avenues to streetcar-served Sugar House. Homes range from condos in the $300,000s to bench estates past $2 million, and most addresses fall within the Salt Lake City School District.

What sets Salt Lake City's in-town neighborhoods apart is walkability and history. The Avenues, Capitol Hill, and Yalecrest carry early-1900s architecture and historic-district overlays; Sugar House centers on a streetcar and a 110-acre park; Federal Heights and Foothill / East Bench climb toward the University of Utah and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail; and Emigration Canyon trades the grid for wooded acreage minutes from downtown. Prices, home age, and lot size shift block to block, but nearly all of it sits within a 15-minute drive of downtown and the airport.
