Proximity to downtown Salt Lake City
In The Avenues, also known as The Aves, a convenient location and stunning views of Salt Lake City make it a popular choice for buyers. Residents can step off their front porches and onto concrete sidewalks, enjoying tree-lined streets on their way to a neighborhood restaurant or coffee shop. “People like The Aves because you can have the downtown lifestyle without living downtown,” says Realtor Adam Compton with Homeworks Property Lab, who has sold real estate in the area for the past five years. “You’re also close to the University of Utah and arts venues like Abravanel Hall and the Capitol Theatre.” The lower section of the community, known as the Lower Avenues, ends just a block from South Temple Street. Streets climb steadily from there, ending at 18th Avenue, where the mountains begin.

Groceries from Smith's and coffee from Café on First
Neighbors who live in the Lower Avenues are in a prime location for walking to shopping destinations. Smith’s Food and Drug, on the corner of E Street and Sixth Avenue, has a full line of groceries. Just off Temple Square is City Creek Center, a shopping mall with a retractable roof and a stream running through the middle. There is no shortage of bars and restaurants downtown, but The Aves locals can also find restaurants right on their street. Avenues Proper is known for its craft brews and menu options like Truffle Mac & Cheese and Cauliflower Tacos. For dessert, diners can step next door to get hand-dipped chocolates from Hatch Family Chocolates. Cucina Wine Bar on Second Avenue offers a curated menu, complete with wine pairings. Coffee shops include Café on First, with a shaded outdoor patio, and Java Jo’s, which has a convenient drive-through.

A mix of architectural styles in The Avenues
The Avenues Historic District has more than 100 architect-designed homes. “It’s a unique area,” Compton says. “There is such a wide array of architectural styles, from Art Deco to Federal, all mixed in with contemporary condos.” Condos start in the upper $300,000s, and single-family residences generally don’t list under $575,000. Bungalow, Victorian and Foursquare are the most prevalent styles; most were built between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Bungalows with two bedrooms, one bathroom and on-street parking are priced around $650,000 on average. Victorian and Foursquare choices may have three or more bedrooms and either a small driveway or a detached one-car garage. Buyers can expect prices between $750,000 and $900,000 for one of these homes. Sections of the neighborhood, such as Federal Heights and the Upper Avenues, offer multi-million-dollar options. Buyers can choose between renovated Victorians or contemporary-style places; many are equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows for taking in the valley views.

Getting around The Avenues
With all the nearby amenities, it is possible for some residents to avoid driving. The TRAX light rail station is on 900 East and Trolley Square, a few blocks from the Lower Avenues. Utah Transit Authority buses also run within the neighborhood, and they offer shuttles to nearby ski resorts, including Alta and Brighton. During major snowstorms, however, bus systems may be shut down temporarily. Those who need to commute for work may want a vehicle equipped with four-wheel drive and snow tires for navigating ice and snow. Salt Lake International Airport is about 7 miles west. It offers nonstop service to 90 destinations. Those who have an acute medical emergency can find a Level I Trauma Center at The University of Utah Hospital, about 2 miles away from The Avenues.

Winter issues
Living among mountains carries risks as well as rewards. Salt Lake City is at a relatively high risk of avalanches, earthquakes and landslides, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Residents are advised to prepare well for winter storms and ensure that they use caution when attempting to drive.
In winter, snow is a regular sight for The Avenues residents.
