What investment property looks like in East Bench
Mountain-base living at the University of Utah's doorstep, with real access to the trails.
East Bench sits at the base of the Wasatch mountains, with the University of Utah right at its north end. It's a relatively affluent, primarily residential area that genuinely grows more upscale moving west to east, and it trades downtown walkability for direct access to the mountains.
- The homes
- A relatively affluent area overall, with home values generally rising as you move west to east toward the mountains.
- Why people choose it
- Buyers drawn to the mountain views and the University of Utah connection who want that without a Park City price tag. Many residents are part of multi-generational families connected to the same high school for years.
- Schools people ask about
- East High School is the area's high school.
- Getting around
- Foothill Drive (State Route 186) is the road everyone uses, running along the base of the mountains and connecting I-80 to the University of Utah and downtown. It's genuinely hilly terrain, and winter driving up here means real elevation change.
- Nearby
- The University of Utah sits at the north end of the neighborhood. Hogle Zoo, Red Butte Garden and Arboretum, This Is the Place Heritage Park, and the Foothill Village shopping center are all here, along with direct access to Emigration Canyon and extensive hiking and biking trails.
- The trade-off
- The Avenues sit closer to downtown Salt Lake City and the Capitol. East Bench trades that for direct mountain access, the trails, and the University of Utah being right there.
