"it's a great neighborhood, if you're able to pay the prices. People mostly keep to themselves. There's a Harmon's in walking distance, but bewary of the guy who drives through the neighborhood at 3 AM with a noisy muffler. "

"There are lot of dogs in the neighborhood. There are a couple of fog parks as well. All kinds of dogs. Lots of Labradoodles."

"This is a great, mostly quiet area to live in, convenient to almost anything/anywhere! Beautiful historic buildings surround you: Utah State Capitol @ top of hill, LDS Church Temple / Headquarters @ bottom of hill with several tower condominiums having stunning views of the mountains and the valley below. Walking distance to the "New Downtown" with tons of restaurants, shopping to satisfy anyone, tons of culture and entertainment within a 6 block walk! Directly ON US-89 with many main thoroughfare surface street routes, and less than 5 minutes to I-15 AND I-80 for commuters, Only 15 minutes to SLC International Airport - cheaper to take a cab than to drive & park! Many parks, historic sites, cultural opportunities nearby. TRAX train and city bus line just a few minutes walk away, Amtrak station 5 minutes away. A dozen great Ski Resorts within a 45-minute drive. This neighborhood started in the 1800's as single-dwelling residences with many children, but has evolved over time to include many condominium projects that are primarily for couples & singles. Young families are beginning to make a comeback however. Ensign Peak is a couple of miles to the north, UP the mountain and is one of my favorite spots with stunning views of the entire south and western valley and the Great Salt Lake / Antelope Island. (You will WORK for that view however, as the climb is significant, but doable with a rest stop or two along the way.) The DOWNSIDE is the steep terrain on all 4 sides of Capitol Hill (think San Francisco on steroids!) The hill is NOT gentle and sloping, it is a MOUNTAIN and is steep. It is "hikeable" and is only 2-3 blocks to the level of the State Capitol, then returns to a mountainside again. A great place to visit and a wonderful place to live, with most housing very reasonably priced compared to the suburbs of Salt Lake City. The Downtown is being rebuilt and bringing several thousand new residents - Capitol Hill is convenient, but away from all the noise!"
