In Capitol Hill, there’s city views and convenient living
Capitol Hill is an established neighborhood that’s home to The Utah State Capitol, which sits on a hill that overlooks downtown Salt Lake City. The area is currently expanding with new construction – whether it be a condo building, restaurant or simply just renovation of older buildings like Temple Square – residents will see cranes in the sky along with the towering mountains. Temple Square is a historic landmark and Latter Day Saints church that was the main center point for the expansion of Salt Lake City in the 1890s. “There’s been a lot of development in the area since the population has increased so much,” says John Berry, a retired resident who has lived in Salt Lake City since 1983. “But the area still has its old spirit, there’s a lot of older architecture.” Capitol Hill has been able to keep up its historic feel, even with all the renovations. “As you’re driving around, you’ll see the construction,” says Zach Hansen, a Realtor with Homeworks Property Lab who has lived in the area for nearly two decades. “But they’ve kept the theme within the neighborhood.” Capitol Hill is a convenient neighborhood near well-regarded eateries, entertainment venues and employers. “Salt Lake is a baby city, but it’s learning a lot with all the new, young talent,” Hansen says. “People are moving here because it’s more affordable, compared to Los Angeles or New York. You can afford to live a really good life here.”

Condos, bungalows and mountainside homes
Capitol Hill has a mix of home listings with single-family bungalows, modern condos and large mountainside estates. The south side of Capitol Hill has a flatter terrain and is more densely populated since it's near downtown, so homes sit closer together on small lots. People can go on daily walks on the wide sidewalks and easily access downtown and mountain trails nearby. Street parking is the popular option in the area. Prices for smaller homes range from $350,000 to $650,000, while condos range from $300,000 to $450,000. In contrast, the northern corner of Capitol Hill is much hillier and more mountainous. It’s not as walkable as the south side, but most homeowners have quick access to trails where they can walk or bike. “I’m not a huge outdoorsmen but I go and walk my dogs behind the capitol daily,” Hansen says. “There’s like a 4-mile trail in my backyard; I don’t have to drive anywhere which is so nice.” These properties cost between $1.5 million and $3 million, depending on the acreage and home size.
