Neighborhood Spotlight | Federal Heights + Arlington Hills

August 25, 2022 | Kelly Carper

Federal Heights is like The Avenues’ big sister that just came home from college — more polished, more sophisticated, and a bit of a smarty-pants. The tree-lined streets provide this classic ‘hood with a Rockwellian feel, and we’re betting you’ll fall head over heels come Autumn. Slap on a cable-knit and color us smitten. 

Homes here are generally larger and more recently renovated than those in The Aves, and the residents a bit more settled in. The winding streets here are quiet and clean, and much of the real-estate in this area also comes with an unparalleled southwest-facing view of the city. The streets of Federal Heights are dotted with lampposts and homes ranging from classic colonial and cottage to Spanish-style and staggering modern.

10 minutes to downtown and we’re betting this is one of the best spots for neighborhood walks or sunset views in all of Salt Lake City.
