Local Overview
Getting to know Salt Lake City.
Utah's capital offers a wide range of neighborhoods, from the grid of the Avenues and the shops of 9th & 9th and Sugar House to the newer and more diverse west-side neighborhoods. Downtown has been revitalized around City Creek Center and expanded transit.
Alisha's core focus is Davis and Weber Counties, and she also helps buyers and sellers in Salt Lake City, including many who compare city living with the Davis County suburbs a short drive north.
Neighborhoods
The Avenues, Federal Heights, Yalecrest, 9th & 9th, 15th & 15th and Sugar House on the east side, and Rose Park, Glendale and Poplar Grove on the west side.
Lifestyle
Downtown dining and the arts, the University of Utah, Liberty Park with Tracy Aviary, and Red Butte Garden in the foothills.
Schools
Salt Lake City School District serves most of the city. Always confirm school boundaries for a specific address.
Commute
TRAX light rail, FrontRunner, I-15 and I-80, plus Salt Lake City International Airport close to downtown.
Outdoor recreation
The Bonneville Shoreline Trail and City Creek Canyon are right above the city, and UTA runs ski-season routes to the Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon resorts.
School assignments, commute times and amenities change. Please verify details for any specific property with the school district, city or listing.
Healthy Home Notes
Healthy home notes for Salt Lake City homes.
As a Certified Conscious Healthy Home (CCH) Realtor®, Alisha helps buyers notice conditions worth a closer look. Here's what to keep in mind when touring homes in Salt Lake City.
Radon: test every home
Radon is a naturally occurring gas from soil and rock, and you can't see or smell it. Utah DEQ recommends testing every home, and reports that about one in three Utah homes tests above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L.
Utah DEQ offers low-cost home test kits by mail (details). During a purchase, a certified radon tester can be scheduled within due diligence.
Moisture & mold
Many Salt Lake City homes date from before World War II. In older homes, look at foundations, basements, plumbing and roof drainage, and ask about any past water intrusion.
Worth a closer look: basements and crawlspaces, window wells, grading and gutters, bathroom ventilation, and any history of leaks or water damage on the seller disclosure.
Air quality: inversions & smoke
Wasatch Front winters bring temperature inversions that trap fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) near the valley floor, and summer wildfire smoke can affect air quality too.
Good questions to ask: how the HVAC is maintained, what filtration it can handle, and how the home is ventilated. Daily conditions are posted at air.utah.gov.
Every buyer Alisha represents receives a complimentary mold inspection during due diligence from Cody Hidalgo, InterNACHI Certified Mold Inspector, and Frankie, his certified mold detection dog.
Educational information only, not medical, legal or inspection advice. Testing and inspections are performed by licensed professionals and do not replace a general home inspection.
