Real Estate in Yalecrest

Yalecrest is a National Register Historic District on the East Bench, commonly called the Harvard-Yale area since many of its streets are named after Ivy League schools. Almost every home here was built between 1910 and 1950, with the vast majority from 1920 to 1940, in English Tudor, English Cottage, French Norman, and Spanish Colonial styles. It's been on the National Register since 2007.

The neighborhood sits close enough to the University of Utah to be a real draw for that connection on its own, bounded roughly by Sunnyside Avenue to 1300 South, and 1300 East to 1900 East.

Yalecrest sits inside East Bench, on the section of the bench closest to the University of Utah. Miller Park and a stretch of Red Butte Creek run through the neighborhood, and its streets, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and others named the same way, give the district its nickname.

It borders the rest of East Bench and sits within reach of Sugar House to the south, though Yalecrest's identity is really its own: a single, consistent historic district rather than a patchwork of pockets.

Miller Park and Red Butte Creek give Yalecrest real green space inside an otherwise fully residential district, and the University of Utah sits close enough to be a genuine part of daily life here, not just a nearby landmark.

The neighborhood's real character is its consistency: walk any street in Yalecrest and the Tudor and Cottage architecture carries through block after block, which is rare even by Salt Lake City's standards for historic character.
