Like the cottages, most of
these ranches were built with shake
shingle roofs. If you are looking at
one with asphalt shingles, check to
make sure they weren't simply laid
atop the shake. If so, count on
buying a new roof at least a decade
sooner than you would otherwise.
Current code doesn't even allow for
the practice, though unlicensed
roofers still do it. Roof vents can
make a shingle-on-shake last longer.

| Sugar House Ranches |
| Ranches are basically big cottages. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a little bigger, and most were built with formal dining. Many remodeled ranches have lost the formal dining in exchange for an extra-large kitchen. The houses average about 2,000 square feet and are scattered throughout Sugar House, even in areas dominated by the smaller cottages. On a per-foot basis, they sell for about as much as a cottage. |
| Quirks: |
| WHEN: Most ranches were from the World War II era until about 1950, when the smaller cottages dominated the Sugar House construction market. WHERE: You can find ranches just about anywhere in Sugar House, but the largest concentrations are west of 1700 East. |

Though ranches were built with formal dining, most remodels use the space for kitchen.
