East bench-be more specific like, "above foothill or Oly Cove" please
Holladay, treed
Foothiil, very congested
Sandy, lots of bad stucco
Draper, way down there
Herriman, never been there
Murray, under rated
Sugarhouse, houses very close together
West Valley, not as bad as people make it sound.

[quote=carlymac;33338316]Avenues?
East bench? (Where there is money and a great view of the valley)
Holladay? (clean, well maintained and lots of wonderful landscaping and trees)
Foothill? (the older nicer area near the U and Downtown)
Sandy? (the early "burbs" with plenty of older stucco and a bad area tucked inside)
Draper? (newer money and home to the McMansions)
Herriman? (The new developing area with growing pains in the SW corner of the valley. They can't define if it's a place for wanna be cowboys or large families with huge cookie cutter homes).
Murray? (a place with possibilities if they do plenty of renewal)
Sugarhouse? ( older homes and typically older demographics with a lot of charm and close in to town)
West Valley? (a stigma over a newer incorporated area with a fairly high crime rate, poor police response and alien population)
South Jordan?(Once a home of mainly large horse properties now quickly converting to larger lotted stucco McMansions much like Draper)
Bluffdale? (Between I-15 and Herriman. An area that refuses to give up their unique identity with plenty of larger homes on larger lots who enjoy their rights to privacy).

Avenues - You need money to live there.

East bench - the only place we considered buying 20 years ago.

Holladay - quaint but expensive. Make SURE you get an inspection before buying

Foothill - student and traffic congestion - a nightmare at rush hour

Sandy - can't be pigeon-holed. Old Sandy is OLD. Newer Sandy is growing. County annexations are common. Excellent Services. Yes, we live here.

Draper? - Sandy Lite. With McMansions.

Herriman- Sprawl.

Murray - You'd miss it if you drove thru too fast.

Sugarhouse - Funky. - Also - get inspection before buying - much older homes.

West Valley? - Oy. Glad we didn't buy there.

Cottonwood Heights - Growing Pains.

West Jordan - Too bad it's on the west side.

South Jordan - See Herriman.

Central City: diverse, colorful, inexpensive but rapidly gentrifying. And close to everything.
