Historic homes near the University of Utah
University is an urban residential community that includes the University of Utah’s campus and surrounding streets. “The U of U area is a blended community of younger households and tenured faculty at the university,” says Michael Wolters, a Realtor with Keller Williams - Salt Lake City and over 20 years of experience. “These folks are highly active and engaged in their community.” Most of the housing here consists of condominium and apartment buildings popular with college students, but there are also high-end, sought-after historic homes from the early-to-mid-20th century set on walkable city streets near local shopping and dining. “There’s also immediate access to recreation hiking trails and the famous Red Butte Garden,” says Wolters.

Student housing for rent and million-dollar historic homes
“Due to its highly popular location on the eastern foothills, the average home sells for about $1.6 million,” says Wolters. “That’s nearly $1 million more than the average home price in the rest of Salt Lake County.” Homes here typically range between $700,000 and $2 million. The neighborhood is very popular with local college students, so many homes, apartments and condominiums are available for rent throughout the year. Properties on the lower end are typically investment opportunities that may need renovations or modestly sized townhouses and duplexes with up to six bedrooms, popular for student living. Early-to-mid-century renovated bungalows with up to four bedrooms start around $800,000 and offer convenient access to city streets right on their doorstep, while historic homes start around $1.5 million and draw from a range of architectural styles, like Tudor or Colonial Revival, and have up to seven bedrooms.

Shopping and dining are just a short walk away
Being in a college neighborhood that’s so close to Downtown Salt Lake City means coffee shops, restaurants and bars are all within a short walk of most residential streets. Walk down 200 South Street to enjoy breakfast on the patios of Coffee Noir, where folks can enjoy a foamy latte in the morning. For the best pizza in town, Wolters recommends Pie Pizzeria Underground, located underneath the University Pharmacy less than a mile down the street from Coffee Noir. Grabbing groceries is easy on University Boulevard, where locals can pick from Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Smith’s.
