Suburban neighborhood with city amenities

Redwood is a suburban neighborhood in West Valley City’s downtown. “The city is home to cultural and entertainment venues like the Maverik Center and Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater, where residents can attend concerts, sporting events, and other performances,” says Michael Wolters, a Realtor with Keller Williams - Salt Lake City and over 20 years of experience. The neighborhood is about 7 miles south of Salt Lake City, and residents can drive along Interstate 215 or take Utah Transit Authority buses for an easy commute. "It's a good area where people keep their houses and yards really tidy, and they're in the central part of the valley, so that means they have ease of getting around,” says Ruby Reece, a Realtor with Century 21 Everest, who has worked in the area for almost 10 years.

Single-family homes near West Valley City’s downtown

The average home value in Redwood is about $433,000, and most homes range between $350,000 and $550,000. Townhouses from the early 2000s and ramblers from the late 20th century are especially common. There are also a few mobile home communities, like Byde-a-Wyle Hacienda's Mobile Home Park; mobile homes start around $50,000 and go up to $100,000. A typical 3-bed, 2-bath townhouse goes for between $350,000 and $400,000 and includes features like open patios and two-car garages. Remodeled single-family ramblers start at $400,000 and can reach prices up to $700,000 for new construction versions. Home sizes in Redwood tend to be smaller than in other nearby neighborhoods, "but they're constructed well, and the yards are all roughly the same size," says Reece.

Redwood parks and recreation

Kingspointe Park is a short walk from residences on Redwood’s eastern side; the park offers a sand volleyball court, jungle gym and picnic facilities that are popular for summer get-togethers. Further south, Grasmere Park is a single-acre plot of land with an open lawn, playground and fitness equipment. At the Redwood Recreation Center, visitors can take a dip in the outdoor pool or make a splash down the pool’s waterslide; there’s also an indoor gym, racquetball courts and a dance studio where locals can sign up for karate and aerobic classes. Golfers can hit the links about 2 miles away at the 18-hole Meadow Brook Golf Course, which offers classes, tournaments and striking views of the Wasatch Mountains.

Central neighborhood with lots of shopping and dining

On the eastern side of Interstate 215, “West Valley City has the revitalized Valley Fair Mall for all your shopping needs,” says Wolters. Neighbors can grab groceries from the local Costco and browse department stores like JCPenney and Hobby Lobby; there are also plenty of eateries to dash into for a quick bite, like In-N-Out. To the west of Interstate 215, Redwood residents can shop for groceries at Lucky and dine at local eateries like Fat Fish, a sushi restaurant, and Habibi Grill, a Pakistani restaurant. There’s also Ogie’s Café, a classic American breakfast diner that’s been flipping flapjacks for over 40 years.

Events at the Maverik Center and local swap meets

Most Redwood residents are within two miles of the Maverik Center, where the Utah Grizzlies of the ECHL play; other events are also held there, like concerts and skating performances. Nearby, Wolters recommends the Redwood Drive-in Theatre, a community staple since 1948, and on the weekends, the Redwood Swap Meet is hosted here. "Part of the culture in Utah and Salt Lake is bargains," says Reece. Locals will find plenty of bargains at the Redwood Swap Meet, which brings in more than 300 vendors. There’s also the Salt Lake Indoor Swap Meet, held less than a mile away off State Route 171, Thursday through Sunday.

How locals get around Redwood

Redwood is in a central location, so locals don’t have much trouble getting to where they need to go. "It's pretty convenient because you can go in all four directions pretty quickly," says Reece. "But a lot of people live in and visit that area, so the road system ends up being a little bit more crowded than it does elsewhere." Redwood is about 8 miles from Salt Lake City via Interstates 215 and 15, which takes between 12 and 24 minutes during rush hour. The Utah Transit Authority provides public transportation options, so locals can also get to Salt Lake City via buses and TRAX, a light rail system; there’s also Frontrunner, a commuter rail system extending from Provo to Ogden. CommonSpirit Holy Cross Hospital - Jordan Valley West is 4 miles west, and Salt Lake City International Airport is 7 miles north.
