A mountainside suburb in South Salt Lake
Named after a nearby mountain with an elevation of 9,000 ft., Mount Olympus is a hilly suburb 12 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City. The area is known for its closeness to top outdoor destinations and well-regarded public schools like Skyline High School. “It’s one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Utah. Many people move in from out of state,” says Lynn Griese, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who’s been selling homes in Utah for two decades. “I live in the neighborhood and moved here from Los Angeles. I personally moved here for the rock climbing.” The neighborhood sits between the Wasatch Mountains, Mount Olympus proper and Interstate 215, which helps people easily reach the nearby University of Utah and the downtown area. But no matter where people travel, they’ll be surrounded by views of the Salt Lake Valley and the towering peaks. “When you live on the hillside, you get to see views every day,” Griese says.
Mount Olympus neighborhood homes are nestled at the base of the mountains.

1950s ramblers and 2000s contemporary homes
Homebuyers can choose between midcentury homes like ramblers priced between $800,000 and $1.5 million and 1990s and 2000s contemporary builds ranging from $2 million to $6.5 million. More expensive homes tend to be situated in the foothills, spanning up to 8,000 square feet, with contemporary features like floor-to-ceiling windows. Neighbors can park their cars in driveways or one-car garages, and modern contemporary homes are either hidden by trees and foliage or situated at the end of driveways so long and hilly that homes are hidden from the street. Some porches have stone detailing and thin trees with wire cages that keep wildlife away.
Most neighborhood houses are positioned with a nice view of the mountains.

Olympus Hills Park, Old Mill Golf Course
Popular nearby hiking, skiing and mountain biking trails include the Mount Olympus Trailhead, Millcreek Canyon, Neffs Canyon and Grandeur Peak Trailhead. The Bonneville Shoreline Trail “Z” Connector is a 4-mile path in the neighborhood where people can hike or bike, with or without their leashed dogs. People visit Olympus Hills Park, located right outside the neighborhood, for its pavilions, playground and tennis courts. Nearby, Fortuna Park is a pocket park with a small playground and a basketball court with one hoop. The Old Mill Golf Course is 3 miles south and has a hilly public course with two 9-hole layouts, while the Country Club has a private 18-hole course 4 miles north. The University of Utah’s golf team competes at the club.

A highly-rated school district
Granite School District serves kids and receives a B from Niche. Children can attend Eastwood School, which earns an A-minus, before moving on to Churchill Junior High School, which receives a B-plus and has many athletic programs, including a ski team. Teens may attend Skyline High, which ranks No.7 among Utah’s best public high schools and earns an A from Niche. “The high school is a big draw for people,” Griese says. For a private school option, there’s Intermountain Christian School, 4 miles south. The public University of Utah is 6 miles north, while Westminster University is a private college 6 miles west. Nearby places of worship include the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Risen Life Church and the Holladay United Church of Christ.

Ski resorts and the annual Sundance Festival
Griese says one of Mount Olympus' draws is its proximity to Park City and its world-renowned ski resorts, just 25 miles away. “There’s a lot of skiing, mountain biking and hiking destinations. People get access to stuff there without having to pay the high living prices,” she says. People can visit attractions like Deer Valley Resort and Park City Alpine Slide, and Park City also hosts the annual Sundance Film Festival each January, bringing in big names like Will Ferrell and Glen Powell.
Daily drives on Interstate 215
Most commuters start their mornings on Interstate 215, called the Belt Route. The main road leads to downtown Salt Lake and the South Salt Lake area. “The area is close to the highway,” says Joel Carson, a Realtor with Utah Real Estate PC and Salt Lake City native. “It’s not super walkable, but there are restaurants and grocery stores accessible pretty much anywhere nearby.” The Utah Transit Authority has a park-and-ride commuter lot near the Olympus Hills Shopping Center in the neighborhood’s northwest corner. People take the public bus to their desired location. The Salt Lake City International Airport is 17 miles north. St. Mark's Hospital is the closest medical center, 4 miles away.
