Urban amenities and suburban charm meet in East Central, a large neighborhood in the northern Salt Lake Valley. Although it lies just two miles east of Downtown Salt Lake City, East Central has a peaceful residential feeling reminiscent of a much smaller town. The northern section of the neighborhood, which sits adjacent to the University of Utah, attracts a sizable student population. The southern section, characterized by picturesque bungalows and turn-of-the-century houses, brings in many families.
No matter where you live in the neighborhood, East Central provides easy access to dining, shopping and entertainment. The famed ski resorts of Park City lie less than 30 minutes away, and the nearby Wasatch Mountains feature spectacular hiking trails. For people who want short commutes for work and play, East Central perfectly fits the bill.
