Major Neighborhoods in Salt Lake City

Also called simply “SLC,” Salt Lake City is well known for its beautiful natural surroundings. It has some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the country, as well as great views, hiking trails, and cliffsides nearby. But if you prefer the indoors, there's just as much fun to be had in music venues, restaurants, and theaters. And if you're a sports fan, you can always catch a Utah Jazz game at Delta Center. Plus, whether you want to get around town or out onto the slipes, you have the option of using SLC’s TRAX light rail system or FrontRunner commuter trains. If Salt Lake sounds like your new home, then check out our list of local movers. Once you're settled, you'll be glad you left the relocation to the pros.

Downtown Salt Lake City

Downtown Salt Lake City is home to the famous Salt Lake Temple, but it’s also got a ton more to offer in terms of entertainment. Catch a ballet, opera, or Broadway show at the Capitol Theatre, or watch your favorite band play at The Depot, appropriately located in the old Union Pacific Train Depot. You can also attend seasonal events at Gallivan Center, like outdoor concerts at the amphitheater or ice skating during the winter. And there's bound to be a restaurant for whatever you're in the mood for, whether it's vegan fare at Boltcutter or an upscale dining experience with very fresh sushi at Takashi. If you plan to move anywhere in the Downtown area, choose an experienced local moving company to get your stuff through the busy streets.

Sugar House

Sugar House is one of the city’s most popular neighborhoods, and it's easy to see why when there are so many craft breweries, shops, and eateries all within walkable distance of each other. A great perk, especially if you've got a furry companion to walk, and there are places like Campfire Lounge where you can enjoy a drink on their dog-friendly patio. Sugar House Park has trails, sports fields, and a lake, but the real appeal is how the grassy slopes are great for sledding when it snows. Best of all, the area has easy access to Interstates 215 and 80, which means a day of skiing is just a short drive away. If you plan on joining the Sugar House community, then rely on local movers to help make your relocation a breeze.

The Avenues

The Avenues is one of the city's very first neighborhoods. Also called "The Aves", it's tucked away near the Wasatch Mountains just a few minutes from downtown — which means you can get the best of both worlds. You can head out to one of several hiking trails like Twin Peak or City Creek Canyon or hop on public transport to go downtown. But why bother? There's plenty to love in your backyard. Believe it or not, one of the best views is from the Lake City Cemetary. You can also try Straw Market Utah for a delicious breakfast burrito and fresh crepes made to order. The roads near the mountains can be a little windy or narrow, so hire local movers who know the area to make the experience go smoothly.

9th & 9th

The 9th & 9th district is on the smaller side, but many residents prefer the quieter ambiance and they definitely like how walkable it is. Trolley Square is a hub in a, well, refurbished trolley barn that features dozens of shops and restaurants. Despite all the choices there, you'll need to grab a bite at Pago, a local favorite farm-to-table restaurant, at least once. As for entertainment, not only does the historic Tower Theater show independent and classic movies, but there's a rental shop inside too. Keep in mind that there are a lot of students coming and going, thanks to the neighborhood's proximity to the University of Utah. But you can rely on local movers to navigate through, even during the busiest times when semesters start and end.
