Downsizing in the Avenues
How to move to something smaller without leaving the Avenues, and the help close by.
Downsizing
Downsizing in the Avenues
Many Avenues homes are older, on steep streets, with a lot of stairs. 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.
Help close by
- Meals on Wheels. Weekday lunches brought to the door for people 60 and up who can't easily cook. Family can make the first call: 385-468-3200 (weekdays 8 to 4).
- Senior centers. The closest county senior center, Tenth East (237 S 1000 E), is closed for a remodel and is set to reopen in early 2027. Until then, Liberty Senior Center at 251 E 700 S is open weekdays 7 to 4, with lunch at 11:30. Call 385-468-3170 to sign up.

Know the area
What the Avenues is like
A historic, prestigious Salt Lake City neighborhood where longtime owners downsize without leaving.
The Avenues is one of Salt Lake City's oldest neighborhoods, first surveyed in the 1850s, with a housing stock that runs from historic homes built around the turn of the 20th century to new construction replacing older teardowns today.
- The homes
- A mix of historic homes, largely from the late 1800s through the early 1900s, much of it inside the Avenues Historic District (National Register, 1980), alongside a current wave of teardown-and-rebuild new construction as owners replace older houses with newer ones on the same lots.
- Getting around
- Sits on the lower slopes of the Wasatch Mountains northeast of downtown, bordered by South Temple Street to the south and Capitol Hill just across City Creek Canyon to the west.
- Nearby
- The Utah Governor's Mansion (603 E South Temple), the Cathedral of the Madeleine, Salt Lake City Cemetery, 11th Avenue Park, and Lindsey Gardens. Close to downtown Salt Lake City.

“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.”
