Federal Heights Real Estate in Salt Lake City
Larger homes on winding foothill streets with valley views, next to the University of Utah.
About Federal Heights
Federal Heights sits on the foothills northeast of the Avenues and just north of the University of Utah, near historic Fort Douglas. Unlike the Avenues grid, its streets curve with the hillside, and many lots look out over the Salt Lake Valley.
- Outdoors: the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, Red Butte Garden and Red Butte Canyon are close by.
- Nearby: the University of Utah campus and hospital, the Avenues and downtown.
- Access: quick routes to downtown, I-80 and the canyons.
Homes in Federal Heights
Homes here range from early 20th-century period-revival houses to mid-century designs and newer custom builds, typically on larger lots than in the nearby Avenues. Many have significant views, which, along with lot size and updates, drive big differences in value.
What buyers and sellers should know
Hillside lots can mean retaining walls, drainage and slope considerations, so a thorough inspection matters. Inventory is limited and homes vary widely, which makes recent, truly comparable sales the key to pricing.
