9^th & 9^th/Sugarhouse/15^th & 15^th

Homes

Most of this area of Salt Lake was built between 1890 and 1960, so you will find an array of homes from turn of the century English Tudor, and Victorian, to Bungalows and Craftsman styles with beautiful natural woodwork. Examples of what I’m describing are on this page. You can find the occasional new build in the area. Most of these are typically built in the same styles of the area to blend in.

Area Prices

You can find non-updated homes for around $200k, with updated homes as high as $700k depending on the quality of the updates and size of the home.

History                                                    

Although no sugar was ever produced at the sugar mill responsible for the community’s name, the Sugar House area evolved, over the course of time, into one of the sweet spots of the Salt Lake Valley. This area is located  in Salt Lake City, from approximately  900 S to 2400 south and 900 East to 1700 East. Although this area is not all Sugarhouse, it tends to be lumped together.

Officially established in 1853, six years after Brigham Young led settlers down Emigration Canyon proclaiming this to be the place, Sugar House soon became known for its fine shopping and friendly atmosphere.
The name, which came at the suggestion of Margaret McMeans Smoot, was in accordance with the sugar mill that was under construction at the time.
One complication led to the next, however, and when equipment that was being shipped form Arras, France, never arrived, the idea of the sugar mill was eventually scrapped. The building was subsequently used as a paper mill, woolen factory and bucket-and-tub works, so not all was lost.

Today, Sugar House remains one of Salt Lake City’s most treasured areas. While some long-time residents yearn for the simple days of yesteryear, the area continues to attract new residents seeking a strong community – and sense of the past.  Salt Lake City’s redevelopment has reaped  rewards and has created a sense of belonging  for the residents of this area.
