Downsizing in Federal Heights
Federal Heights homes sit on the hill below the U, and many are older homes with stairs and big yards to keep up. That is a big part of why people start thinking about their next home. You don't have to leave the area you know to make life easier.

Know the area
What Federal Heights is like
Salt Lake City's most prestigious enclave: large, stately homes and sweeping views, right at the top of the Avenues.
Federal Heights sits at the top of the Avenues, generally north of South Temple Street and east of Virginia Street. It's traditionally considered part of the Avenues, but it's known for larger, more stately homes and consistently commands some of the highest prices in Salt Lake City.
- The homes
- Larger, architect-built homes on bigger lots than the rest of the Avenues, with real estate coverage describing it as blending historic homes with luxury estates. This is where Salt Lake City's higher end concentrates.
- Getting around
- Sits above the rest of the Avenues, reached the same way, climbing from South Temple Street, with sweeping views back over the city.
- Nearby
- Everything the Avenues itself offers, the Governor's Mansion, the Cathedral of the Madeleine, downtown, sits just below. Federal Heights borders East Bench to the south.
- The trade-off
- The rest of the Avenues offers similar history and walkability at a lower price point. Federal Heights trades that affordability for larger homes, more privacy, and better views, right at the top of the same neighborhood.

“I have bought and sold dozens of properties over my life and Delia was a delight. She was professional, on top of everything and a fantastic negotiator. She was a great liaison with the seller and the worst lender I have ever had to work with. She went out of her way to make buying a property in another state as easy and efficient as possible. I would recommend her to everyone.”
