What Sugar House is like
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.
