this was salt lake city’s first neighborhood, established in the 1850s. it sits above salt lake city’s downtown area, giving you the feel of being above it all, while still in the middle of everything. homes are nestled on the sides of the foothills to the north of the city. residents tend to be politically progressive. homes have a well-tended, “artsy” feel. the avenues is the home of many professionals in salt lake who want a short commute to downtown, the university of utah or the capitol. that vibe meshes nicely with the older, victorian architecture of the homes you will find here. memory grove and city creek canyon are popular areas for hiking and outdoor recreation.
full of character, style, and thoughtful updates in an unbeatable location, this avenues gem captures everything people love about living in one of salt lake city′s most treasured neighborhoods. enjoy quiet moments on the welcoming covered front porch, stroll to your favorite neighborhood coffee shop, and spend evenings in the private backyard that opens to green space beyond. inside, historic details and early 1900s craftsmanship have been beautifully preserved, while major updates, including new hvac (2025), all-new pex plumbing (2021), a renovated bathroom with clawfoot tub, and newer appliances, provide modern peace of mind. the wood-burning stove adds warmth and charm to the heart of the home, creating a cozy gathering space year-round. just moments from downtown and within walking distance of schools, parks, publik coffee, cucina, saffron valley, café shambala, and avenues proper, this is avenues living at its best.
