So named (obviously) for the sprawling grounds of the University of Utah on which it sits, this salty ‘hood is straight-up scholastic. Positively bursting with backpack-clad students spouting pearls of wisdom from Freud, Keats and Zuckerberg, this hillside 'hood is breathtakingly academic come Fall.

Digs of every variety–from student housing to pricey, posh pads–dot the tree-lined streets of these wise ol’ hills. Also ’round these parts: the damn-near legendary Pie Pizzeria, Graywhale CD Exchange, Indochine Vietnamese Bistro, and Kingsbury Hall.
And, come fall, you’ll be able to walk to the University’s Pac-12 football games (sports!).
All these transplants somehow make this ‘hood feel just like home. Just try and refrain from hanging out in the quad.
