Located in the northeast part of Salt Lake City, Federal Heights is one of the more affluent neighborhoods in the metropolitan area. Arlington Hills and the Wasatch Mountains are neighbors to the north, while the prestigious Utah University sits just south of it. The Lower Avenues and downtown Salt Lake City are within earshot to the west. It is a highly respected, quiet area, with a population of 1,128 and 91% home ownership.
One of the truly beloved facets of Federal Heights is the array of older, often historic homes; it is stunningly easy to find ones that were built in the early 1900s. Modern, sleek architecture and townhomes are virtually nonexistent, as single-family houses with nuanced character and tree-lined streets dominate the area. The accessibility and convenience of Federal Heights is superb, as the University of Utah and its hospital, museums, and gorgeous campus and parks are all within walking distance (Shriners Children’s Hospital is in Federal Heights, as well). A short drive down Virginia St. and west on University takes you in to the heart of downtown, with its plethora of dining and entertainment options. All of this while cozied up to the foot of the magnificent Wasatch mountains.

Some of the finest schools in the metropolitan area surround Federal Heights. Options include the Pinnacle School (Pre-K), Wasatch Elementary, Bryant Middle School, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School, West High School, East High School, and Judge memorial Catholic High School.
As one of the state’s premier neighborhoods, the homes of Federal Heights rarely sell for under $500,000, and the higher end of the spectrum hovers around $1.1, $1.2 million. The average sale price is approximately $850,000, with 5 beds/4 baths most common. Though, finding 6 and up is easier than finding 3 or fewer.
