Our home is in Holladay, a well-established, safe, quiet suburb of Salt Lake City. We have lived here for 30 years and never grow tired of walking the tree-lined streets with the magnificent Wasatch Mountains as our backdrop. Our home is only 30 minutes from of the world-class ski resorts of Alta, Snowbird, Park City, and Deer Valley, and 20 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City's top restaurants, entertainment centers, and sports venues: Eccles Broadway Theatre, featuring internationally acclaimed musical artists and touring groups: The Utah Symphony Orchestra (Abravanel Hall), Ballet West Utah and Opera Company (Capitol Theatre), Utah Jazz professional basketball team (Vivint Smart Home Arena), and the world famous Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. During January, the Sundance Film Festival presents independent film screenings in Park City and Salt Lake area theatres. Tickets can be purchased in advance online (see Attractions for web links).
Six university campuses are within a 40-mile drive: University of Utah, Westminster College, Brigham Young University (Provo, UT), Weber State University (Ogden), Salt Lake Community College, Utah Valley University (Orem). Freeway access in any direction is 3 minutes from our driveway.
Across the street is a spacious neighborhood park featuring a playground, sports court with basketball and pickle ball, picnic tables and swings for just sitting and looking up at the magnificent mountains. Music in the Park concerts are scheduled every Saturday evening from July through August.
Within one city block from our home are an impressive array of local restaurants: Sharon's Cafe for breakfast, Layla Mediterranean Grill, Caputo's Market and Deli, Taqueria 27, Copper Kitchen and Tony Burgers consistently receive excellent reviews.
3 Cups, Roxberry Juice, Leslie's French Pastries, Iced, and the Food Truck park are popular with locals and well worth the short walk for tea and coffee, smoothies, gelato, pastry and pizza. In addition, a neighborhood grocery store, Harmon's, is within a 5-minute walk.
