Living in The Avenues: Historic Charm & City Views
The Avenues is Salt Lake City's first historic neighborhood. Carved into the foothills northeast of the State Capitol, it offers a grid of charming streets lined with Victorian, Craftsman, and Tudor-style homes.
It is the preferred neighborhood for doctors at the University of Utah Hospital, professors, and urban professionals who want character and walkability just minutes from downtown Salt Lake City. The neighborhood is currently undergoing critical upgrades: the reconstruction of the **North Bench Pump Station** and related water main projects ensure the long-term reliability of the area's century-old infrastructure.
