Sugar House
What buying a home looks like in Sugar House
Salt Lake City's walkable "second downtown," with restaurants, shops, and a park all within reach on foot.
Sugar House has been a commercial and residential hub since it was established in 1853. Today it's often called Salt Lake's second downtown: two shopping centers, a walkable business district, and a mix of historic homes and newer condo development around Sugar House Park.
- The homes
- A genuine mix: historic homes from the early-to-mid 1900s alongside a real wave of newer condo and mid-rise development built in recent years around Sugar House Park. Plenty of both condos and single-family homes, not dominated by one type.
- Why people choose it
- High demand. Everything, restaurants, shops, a movie theater, a park, is within walking distance, and that convenience carries a real premium. Homes and condos here consistently draw more interest than the surrounding area, and not every buyer's budget stretches to it.
- Schools people ask about
- Highland High School, built on the site of Utah's first state prison after it closed in 1951.
- Getting around
- Centered on the intersection of 2100 South and Highland Drive/1100 East, with easy access to I-80 and Parleys Canyon. Walkable in a way most Salt Lake City neighborhoods aren't.
- Nearby
- Sugar House Park, Westminster University, the Sugar House Center and The Commons shopping centers, Hidden Hollow Natural Area, and the Salt Lake Tennis & Health Club, a private club that's been in the area since the 1960s.
