From quiet, family-friendly bedroom communities, to vibrant, walkable neighborhoods, Salt Lake has its share of locales that have made it one of the best places to live.

the avenues & federal heights

The Avenues and Federal Heights neighborhoods perch on a hilltop directly above Salt Lake City and lie on the northeast bench of the Wasatch Mountains. The neighborhood to the east of the lower Avenues is known as Federal Heights.

The "lower Avenues" (between 6th Avenue and South Temple) is a neighborhood of mostly charming Victorian-era houses. Avenues/ Federal Heights are two of the oldest neighborhoods and contain some of the first homes to be built in the valley.

The Avenues/Federal Heights is also especially popular due to its proximity to downtown, the large and remote Memory Grove and City Creek Canyon recreation area to the west, and the University of Utah to the east/southeast.

9th and 9th & 15th and 15th

The hip 9th and 9th district has some of the most unique restaurants and outdoor art in Salt Lake. Located in the eastern portion of Salt Lake City at the intersection of 900 East and 900 South, 9th and 9th is home to locally owned stores that are both family friendly and unique. In May 2014, the First Annual Art Walk Weekend kicked off with patrons enjoying great artwork and local businesses. 15th and 15th stretches from Emerson Street to Kensington Street along 1500 East and is also home to unique locally owned stores and businesses, including Caputo's 15th & 15th, 15th Street Gallery and King's English Bookshop. The proximity to downtown and the picturesque tree-lined streets make these two neighborhoods desirable for working professionals and families.
