What buying a home looks like in Yalecrest
A historic Tudor and Cottage-style district on the East Bench, right by the University of Utah.
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. Most of its homes were built between 1920 and 1940, in English Tudor, English Cottage, French Norman, and Spanish Colonial styles, and it sits close enough to the University of Utah to be a real draw for that connection alone.
- The homes
- Built almost entirely between 1910 and 1950, with the vast majority from 1920 to 1940 and the easternmost streets filled in during the post-war years. Architecture favors English Tudor, English Cottage, French Norman, and Spanish Colonial styles, distinctive enough that the whole district has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2007.
- Getting around
- Bounded roughly by Sunnyside Avenue to 1300 South, and 1300 East to 1900 East, sitting on the East Bench above the rest of the valley.
- Nearby
- Miller Park and Red Butte Creek run through the neighborhood. It sits close to the University of Utah, which is a real part of its draw.
- The trade-off
- The rest of East Bench offers a wider range of home styles and price points. Yalecrest trades that range for a specific, consistent historic character, Tudor and Cottage homes from a single defined era, all inside one historic district.
