Salt Lake City Overview

Love outdoor adventures and beautiful surroundings? Looking for a place with a great job market and affordable living? You’ll find all of these — and more — in Salt Lake City, UT! This southwestern city’s got the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Mountains for outdoor recreation and scenic views. The cost of living’s also lower than other large cities in this part of the country. And you’ll never run out of things to do with so many festivals, events, attractions, and amenities here. Let’s explore why more and more people are looking for Salt Lake City rental homes!

What is the history of Salt Lake City?

Did you know that Salt Lake City was originally part of Mexico when it was founded in 1847? But it became part of the U.S. just one year later. Mormon pioneers founded the city while looking for a place to settle. Not long after their arrival, European settlers began to call Salt Lake City home, too. And the California Gold Rush and transcontinental railroad brought more and more people to the area! Salt Lake City was a big mining town in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Miners dug for gold and other metals in underground tunnels. During the 20th century, the city developed parks, public transportation, and other amenities to accommodate its growing population. And it hosted the Olympics in 2002!

How is the weather in Salt Lake City?

You’ll get hot summers, comfortable spring and fall temps, and cold winters here. That’s a good mix of weather for all kinds of activities. Daytime highs in summer can reach into the 90s, making the lake a great place to cool off! Summers are also fairly dry and sunny. But you might get an occasional rainy day. In spring and fall, highs tend to be in the 60s and 70s. During winter, the city’s daytime highs are usually in the 30s, with lows in the 20s. You can also expect several inches of snow for skiing and snowboarding in the mountains!

How do I get around town?

While looking at homes for rent in Salt Lake City, consider whether you plan on driving around or using public transportation. Mainly looking in the outer suburbs? A car may come in handy for commuting and getting around in general. But the central part of Salt Lake City has an incredible public transportation system! You can take TRAX — the light rail system — to get around downtown or out to the valley or airport. Utah Transit Authority (UTA) also runs buses and commuter trains throughout the city and surrounding areas. Heading out of town? For longer travel, there’s Amtrak, Greyhound, and Salt Lake City International Airport in the northwestern part of town.

What is the Salt Lake City commute like?

Did you know that Salt Lake City’s average commute time is just 19 minutes? That’s shorter than commutes in many other major metro areas in the U.S.! Many people drive to and from work in Salt Lake City. So, keep rush hour and congested roads in mind when looking at Salt Lake City homes for rent. What major roads can you take? I-15 runs north-south, while I-80 runs east-west. There’s also I-215, known as the Belt Route. Other major roads include US 40 that runs east-west and US 89 that runs north-south. Overall, most congestion tends to happen on I-15, especially during rush hour.
