Rose Park
Neighborhood Reviews
Brick ramblers sitting along wide, walkable streets
“Rose Park has older style homes, so pricing is lower, but many of them have been renovated,” Hunwick says. Babb says train tracks run through the area, and homes on the eastern side of the tracks tend to be more affordable. The majority of homes are brick, mid-1900s ramblers priced between about $400,000 and $550,000. Properties sit close together and are separated by metal fences. They have features like chimneys, small front lawns and three-step porches. Tall trees like Ponderosa Pines shade the wide sidewalks in Rose Park. Most homes have carports rather than garages.

Wildfire season in the Salt Lake Valley
Rose Park has an arid climate because of its high elevation and topography. 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, according to the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands. The climate can also create trapped, polluted air which is consistently monitored by the Utah Department of Air Quality.

Niche Review
Because our area is very diverse we do not get many businesses who are interested in opening a store or restaurant here. We always have to drive more than 5 miles for many things.

Niche Review
in my opinion, the area where i currently reside do have access to medical attention. I don't think that the people are very active though, i rarely see people exercising or at the recreational center.

Niche Review
i can say that there are parks around this area, but i wouldn't say that there is a large amount of open space/nature at our disposal. to get to national parks and/or state parks we would have to drive at least 90 minutes.
