South 800 East St, East Central

I grew up not too far from 800 E on 1700 S. This is an older part of Salt Lake, known as the Sugarhouse area. 1700 South is a narrow street stretching from west side of the tracks, all the way up to the mountain. Older homes line this street, giving it a feel of what the 1960's urban sprawl did to Salt Lake. It is nice and quiet part of town, great for families, and you're guaranteed to have a grandma as a your neighbor.

I lived in this area for about 10 years. After all those years the area grew to have new and improved places to eat, shop, as well as family entertainment.
Within a good walking distance there are two different areas to shop and eat. Shopping in this area can be for clothes, groceries, furniture, girls day out for haircuts and nails painted, even shop for your beloved pets!
This area is fit for any lifestyle: big or small families, newlyweds, and retirees. Many of the houses are old built in the early 1900s or older.
The city offers great services. Every summer resdidents are allowed to place their yearly junk and place it curbside for the city to come and pick up. It's a great relief from hauling it all yourself.
There are two parks within a 15 minute walking distance. One park has an aviary (bird zoo) with many activities and festivities during the summer. The other park has baseball diamonds and is off-leash dog friendly.
Although I never lived in the area whiile having a cell phone, when I am in the area I always get a good reception.
The area is close to buses and other public transportation. I never used these but I have seen them in the area with many other people using the public transportaion.
