Know the area
What Yalecrest is like
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.
