Sugar House Utah: Surrounding Areas
|
Liberty Park Has A Familiar Charm
|
Liberty Park homes look
a lot like Sugarhouse
Utah real estate; it's just
a little older. The area
was settled around the
turn of the last century,
and it is heavy with
bungalows. Unlike Upper
Sugar House real estate,
which was built on the
rocky shores of the old
Lake Bonneville, the
homes around Liberty
Park were built on the
former Lake's sandy
bottom. This softer
surface has promoted a
lot of settling in homes
with shallow
foundations, such as
bungalows, and these
homes tend to look a bit
crooked. Don't despair.
This shifting occurred 80
years ago, and any associated problems
were taken care of long ago. The homes
tend to sell for a lot less per square foot
than those in Sugar House, but there isn't
really a whole lot of visual difference. Both
areas sport a lot of quaint brick homes on
tree-lined streets near great city parks.
