Living in the second-largest suburb in Salt Lake City
Poplar Grove is Salt Lake City’s second-largest neighborhood, a few miles southwest of downtown. The area isn’t very walkable, but major highways like Interstates 80 and 215 run through the neighborhood, giving locals quick access to the greater Salt Lake area. People can easily reach major employers like the University of Utah, 4 miles away. Poplar Grove is known for its multicultural scene, reflected in the many locally owned markets and restaurants. “Poplar Grove is an up-and-coming neighborhood in Salt Lake that is great for families wanting to live in a diverse neighborhood,” says Ryan Mack, the director of media and communications for the Visit Salt Lake organization. “There are some great under-the-radar bakeries, specialty shops and authentic Mexican restaurants to enjoy.” The 9 Line Trail, also called the Jordan Trail, is a 3-mile pathway next to the Jordan River. It runs through the area, along with neighboring areas like Glendale and Fairpark, and boosts outdoor activity in Poplar Grove.

Wildfire season in the Salt Lake Valley
Poplar Grove’s high elevation and topography give it an arid climate. Wildfire season happens between July and November each year; residents must notify their local fire department if they plan on hosting campfires or bonfires, but most people will also need a burn permit. The climate can also create trapped, polluted air which is consistently monitored by the Utah Department of Air Quality.
