Sugar House a Suburb of Salt lake City Utah:

SUGAR HOUSE A suburb of Salt Lake City Utah is a great place for many Utah Home buyers to buy a home that will be a good place to live as well as a location that will retain value year after year.

Established in 1852, Sugar House, (sometimes seen as Sugarhouse), a suburb of Salt lake City UT, and home to 30,000 to 35,000 residents is one of Utah's oldest neighborhoods.

Sugar House, a well known 98 square block area South of Salt Lake City, and is defined by 700 East in the Western edge, and East about 14 blocks to 2100 East. The North South boundaries are from 1700 South to 3300 South on the Southern limit.

Because of the positive image and desirability of the neighborhood it is not unusual to find these boundaries extended a bit in advertising and promotional material to take advantage of the good name and marketability of Sugar House.

SUGAR HOUSE BUSINESS:

Retail shops, dining, and a vibrant shopping mall present an ever expanding commercial hub for the Sugar House neighborhood @ 1100 East and 2100 South. Because of the access to the Freeway, commercial growth need not depend on internal growth of the Sugar House neighborhood.

SUGAR HOUSE HOMES:

Sugar House is well known for its 1920 era Cottages and fixer uppers as well as World War ll Bungalows. Since the area attracts younger home owners, few New Homes were built and many houses changed ownership during the Utah housing boom, searching for homes can be very lively. We suggest that if you go shopping for a home in Sugar House you go armed with a knowledgeable Realtor and at least a pre qualification letter.

CURRENT HOMES FOR SALE IN SUGARHOUSE:

As of today, there are only 25 Sugar House Homes listed For Sale On the MLS. These houses are listed between $150,000 and $400,000. Over 25% are distressed homes, 6 being either Short Sales or Foreclosures in Salt Lake.

You can keep current with Sugar House homes For Sale by logging into Salt Lake Homes Listed and click on the MAP Search, enter the sugar House Boundaries and click search. Save that search and ask to be notified when any homes become available. You will receive new listings additional photos, price changes and any change in status to homes listed and saved.

Because of its proximity to Downtown SLC, The University of Utah, access to the Freeway, recreational opportunities and the attraction of the lovely Sycamore lined streets, and wonderful older homes, Sugarhouse is one of the most desirable Communities in Salt Lake City.

Ice on the roof from frozen swamp cooler5 Tips to Keep Your House Cool This Summer

  1. Fans and ceiling fans can make a room feel 6 or 7 degrees cooler
  2. Install white window shades, drapes or blinds to reflect heat away from the house.
  3. Turn off appliances, electronics and lights when not in use. Avoid cooking and baking mid-day.
  4. Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents, they use a fifth the energy and heat.
  5. Add insulation to your attic. Upgrading from 3 inches to 12 inches can cut cooling costs by 10%.

I got these tips from RisMedia. The original article is here.

Here's a bonus tip I'm throwing in because it works awesome for me:

Install awnings or EXTERIOR shade screens. I installed a product called SunShade by Suntex, but there are others out there. It's an exterior mount screen that blocks 60-80% of the heat, but still allows light to enter the house and you can still see out. It significanly reduced the amount of heat entering the house and how long I had to run the Air Conditioner.

If you have excellent credit and will be buying a $300,000-$800,000 home within 90 days and would like an agent who will work exclusively for you, make sure you get an Agent on YOUR side of the transaction! Make sure you hire an E B A!
