Salt Lake City
As the capitol of Utah and county seat for Salt Lake County, Salt Lake City has become the largest and constant cities of grown in the state. The city is located in the Salt Lake Valley at the foot of the Wasatch Front Mountain ragne. The city’s elevation is 4,330 feet/1,320 meters above sea level. The name of the city is often shortened to Salt Lake, or its initials-S.L.C.
Founded in 1847 by the Mormon pioneers, Salt Lake City is currently the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the mormon church. This is notable when talking about Utah Real Estate and Salt Lake Real Estate because the city’s founder and states first governor, Brigham Young, laid out the city from the beginning as a “grid” system with the LDS temple at 0,0.
Construction of the first transcontinental railroad and mining initially brought economic growth, and the city became nicknamed the “Crossroads of the West.” In the 21st century the city has developed a strong outdoor recreation industry and served as host to the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Salt Lake City has many informal neighborhoods. Interstate 15, which runs along a north-south line, divides the city into eastern and western sections. The eastern portion of the city has higher property values than its western counterpart. This is a result of the railroad being built in the western half as well as scenic views from inclined grounds in the eastern portion. Housing is more affordable on the west side, which results in demographic differences.
Historically, the west side Salt Lake City has been a working-class neighborhood, but recently the more affordable nature of the area has enticed many professionals into the neighborhood. The small and increasingly trendy Marmalade District on the city’s west side, for example, was once considered seedy but is now considered eclectic and a desirable location.

Geography
Salt Lake lies in a mountain valley with the Wasatch Mountains to the east and north. The Oquirrh (pronounced “oaker”) Mountains border the western edge of the valley. Salt Lake’s official elevation is 4,330 feet/1,320 meters above sea level. The city is situated on land once covered by the prehistoric Lake Bonneville. This ancient lake existed within portions of Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, with an elevation rising from 4,200 feet to 5,200 feet (1,280 meters to 1,585 meters) at some points. The eastern and northern portions of the city are located on a series of terraces, or former beaches, which are known locally as “the benches.”
Public Transportation
Utah Transit Authority (UTA) provides over 100 bus routes throughout an 1,800 square-mile area. UTA also provides light-rail service, airport transportation, service to ski resorts in winter, and door-to-door transportation for disabled passengers. A free fare zone is available downtown.
Airport Transportation
The airport is just 10 minutes from downtown. Taxis, limousines, buses, and shuttles provide airport service to anywhere in the valley and to local ski resorts. Many hotels provide complimentary airport shuttle service.
