Highland Park Homes for Sale — Salt Lake City, Utah

Highland Park is one of the most charming historic neighborhoods in Salt Lake City, Utah, tucked between Sugar House to the north and Millcreek to the south. It is bounded approximately by Interstate 80 to the north, 2700 South to the south, 2000 East to the east, and Elizabeth Street to the west. The neighborhood was named for its lofty elevation, and its tree-lined streets, brick bungalows, and quiet cul-de-sacs give it a settled, welcoming character that keeps demand consistently high.

Highland Park has genuine historic pedigree. It was developed largely between 1910 and 1926 by Kimball & Richards Land Merchants as part of the 1910 Sugar House Annex — one of the earliest and largest annexations into Salt Lake City — with construction continuing through the 1940s and 1950s. A 300-acre core is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Highland Park Historic District, with 468 contributing buildings representing the design work of noted local architects. Two wide north-south roads, 1300 East and Highland Drive, run through the middle of the neighborhood.

The housing stock reflects that history. You will find Craftsman and Prairie-school bungalows, period revival cottages, and WWII-era and mid-century ramblers, with most homes built in the 1940s and 1950s. These are right-sized homes — most run 1,200 to 2,800 square feet on tidy .14 to .22 acre lots, many with original hardwood floors, arched doorways, coved ceilings, and covered porches. Recent prices run approximately $650,000 to $1,000,000, with condition, updates, and proximity to Sugar House Park driving the spread.

Because so many homes are original or lightly updated, Highland Park is a favorite for buyers who want character with room to add value — refinishing hardwood, opening a kitchen, or finishing a basement. It draws a healthy mix of young professionals, growing families, and longtime residents, and homes here tend to sell quickly when priced right. In a market like this, keeping more of your equity with a low 1.5% listing commission — or collecting cash back as a buyer — can make a real difference.

Families are served by the Salt Lake City School District, feeding Highland Park Elementary, Hillside Middle School, and Highland High School — the neighborhood’s namesake, right at its northeast edge by Sugar House Park. The independent Carden Memorial School is a nearby private option. Because assignments can vary by address, always verify your specific address before purchasing.

Location is a major part of the appeal. Highland Park sits minutes from Sugar House Park — 110 acres of ponds, running paths, and sledding hills — with Forest Dale Golf Course on its western edge and Fairmont Park just northwest. The Sugar House business district, with its restaurants, breweries, and shops, is a short walk or drive, and the neighborhood offers outstanding freeway access: I-80 is right at the north edge, putting downtown Salt Lake City, the airport, and the Cottonwood ski canyons all within easy reach. The area falls in the 84105 and 84106 zip codes.
