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.
