Growing city with nature, new construction and necessities
North Salt Lake is a growing residential city in Davis County, just 8 miles from downtown Salt Lake City. Sprawling neighborhoods are surrounded by miles of natural landscape, with the Great Salt Lake to the west and the Wasatch Mountains to the east. New construction is found at the city's edges as it expands, making room for its population of over 23,700. “North Salt Lake is an interesting community because it’s kind of suburban, but the homes tend to be newer,” says Real Estate Agent Lynn Griese with Coldwell Banker, who has over 25 years of experience in the industry. “If you want a big home but want to be close to downtown Salt Lake City, you’re not that far away.”
Originally settled by cattle farmers in 1847, North Salt Lake wasn’t considered a city until 1961. There's a business center to the north of the city and its primary industries include retail, transportation and manufacturing.

Newer builds and manufactured home communities
North Salt Lake’s central neighborhoods have several architectural types, including ranch-style homes, raised ranches and split levels. Manufactured home communities are common farther north. Neighborhoods west of the highways and southeast towards the mountains share similar housing options like modern Craftsman homes and farmhouses. “The homes on the foothills tend to be newer, built within the last 20 to 25 years,” Griese says. Additionally, multi-story townhouses and contemporary condos are found all over the city.
The median price for a single-family home in North Salt Lake is $615,000, while townhouses sit around $470,000.

Northern Utah’s natural recreation and city parks
North Salt Lake has eight city parks, some with playgrounds and others with sports fields and ballparks. Popular green spaces include Legacy Park and the Eaglewood Golf Course. There’s also the Orchard Community Garden. The Veteran's Memorial Amphitheater is located at the city hall. The South Davis Recreation Center is about 4 miles north of downtown, in Bountiful. The southern shores of Farmington Bay are directly west of North Salt Lake. Legacy Nature Preserve is a wildlife refuge in the marshes. To the city’s east are the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain range. “There is great access to trails. A nice park, Tunnel Springs Park, connects to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail,” Griese says.

Celebrating the community through yearly festivities
North Salt Lake hosts dozens of annual community events. Liberty Fest is a week-long Fourth of July celebration that includes a car show. “They shoot off fireworks at the golf course, and people from all over will come around for the parade beforehand,” Griese says. In addition to holiday festivities such as an Easter egg dash and Winter Lights Festival, the city also hosts a Juneteenth Celebration and Pride Festival.

Navigating North Salt Lake’s multiple modes of transportation
Several highways crisscross in North Salt Lake. The city sits at the junction of Interstates 15 and 215, both traveling north to south. Utah state Route 67, also known as Legacy Parkway, merges with I-215. U.S. Route 89 is a main thoroughfare. “If one route is backed up due to snow or other weather, it’s easy to hop on another and head downtown,” Griese says.
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) provides local bus services. The Skypark Airport sits directly north of the city but is private, many passengers travel to use the nearby Salt Lake City International Airport for commercial flights.
