Downtown Salt Lake City may be the oldest district in the city, but it’s become a magnet for trendy bars and nightlife — especially on Broadway near Gallivan Plaza Station. The neighborhood is also big on arts and culture, with many museums, music venues, and art galleries encompassing it.

Temple Square is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Visitors come from all over to see the Salt Lake Temple, which dates back to the early 1890s. Down the road on Main Street is the City Creek Center mall. This indoor/outdoor state-of-the-art center features luxury stores and an impressive selection of restaurants.

The natural landscapes of Red Butte Canyon provide a beautiful backdrop for area residents and make the views from a luxury Salt Lake City apartment spectacular. Downtown Salt Lake City contains the University of Utah campus, plus UTA rail services and proximity to Interstate 15 for easy commuting.

The neighborhood is nice and alright doing the day time, I'll say it's good for the people that are already there since it's mostly a Latino community and don't recommend walking around at night. Some adults have sense some don't but just a lot of teenagers in gangs, walking around with weapons, getting killed, etc.. I know one of the gangs is Central Park Magnolia which have black colors just be careful out there the people are nice just don't give them a reason to come at you.

Magnolia Park is a very chill neighborhood to live in. There is many stores nearby. The people you live near to are also very nice no one complains.

Older neighborhood but I love living here. Older residents have lived in this neighborhood for a long time. This area has a bad rep but I have lived here for 16 years and I feel safe. Love living in the hood.
