Salt Lake City
Neighborhoods
As the heart and soul of Salt Lake City, downtown right up and offers all the delightful foodstuffs, watering holes, urban adventures, art, music, and after-dusk fun you’d expect from a proper city—it’s just set at the base of towering peaks like a good mountain town should be. (Fun tip: you can set out on a hike or mountain bike ride directly from the state capitol building.)
Downtown has truly come into its own in recent years, with so much to do year-round that the city center is a destination for both locals and tourists. Catch an open-air concert on a blissfully warm summer night, wander the bustling farmer’s market (bring your appetite), stroll the city’s finest art galleries, sample a taste of farm-to-table fare, check out a Utah Jazz NBA game, or find your favorite new mixologist.
The city makes it easy to get around—city bus rides and TRAX train rides are free within the downtown zone, and Green Bike rental stations dot the landscape. Which means you can get from historic pioneer architecture to the hippest speakeasy in town in three minutes flat.

South of Central. Primarily residential areas surrounding Liberty Park: a spacious city park with walking/running paths, swimming pool, tennis courts, paddle boats, children’s amusement park, playground, picnic facilities, and plenty of room for recreation or relaxation. The park hosts many community events.
A myriad of restaurants and boutiques sit along 900 South, especially in the happening 9th and 9th area.

Arguably the first hipster hangout in Salt Lake City, Central City is bustling with eclectic shops, vibrant cuisine, and enough green space to earn your daily dose of Vitamin N. This bike-friendly corridor between the Downtown and Sugarhouse neighborhoods provides ample opportunity for diversion and distraction.

The University-Foothill neighborhood may be the everyday haunt of the students, faculty, and medical care providers who spend their days at the University of Utah, but the neighborhood is also a go-to destination for Salt Lake locals and visitors too. The district occupies the beautiful “bench” and foothill areas above the city, which means you’ll enjoy sweeping views (come for the sunsets!) and a unique mix of outdoor recreation and university culture.
One of our favorite ways to see the city, in fact, is to traverse the Bonneville Shoreline trail on the hillside above campus—popular with hikers, bikers, and runners, this span of trail goes the entire length of the University neighborhood and connects with a larger trail network above City Creek Canyon downtown.
However you explore the neighborhood, bring a sense of curiosity and an appetite for adventure.

It might be one of the hippest, most vibrant neighborhoods in town, but Sugar House earned its name from the sugar beets first planted here by pioneer settlers a century and a half ago. Since those humble, verdant beginnings, Sugar House has sprouted into one of the most offbeat, colorfully progressive enclaves in the valley. You’ll find plenty of restaurants, bars, breweries, shops, unexpected hangouts, and one big, glorious park with sweeping mountain views. (Yep, Sugar House park just might be our favorite place for urban trail-running.)
Whatever your mood—whether you’re thirsty, hungry, or just fixing for a good time—this place has it in spades. Park your car on one of the tree-lined streets dotted with colorful Victorians and stout bungalows. Then put your walkin’ shoes to good use in this eminently strollable neighborhood.
