If you’re looking for a neighborhood that offers the perfect balance between suburban comfort and easy access to city life, Jordan Meadows might just be the place for you. Nestled on the west side of Salt Lake City, this growing community has been quietly gaining attention for its spacious homes, beautiful mountain views, and proximity to downtown.
Unlike Central City, which is known for its dense urban vibe and towering high rises, Jordan Meadows offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Here, houses sit on larger lots, allowing for yards, open skies, and that refreshing suburban feel — all while being just a short light rail ride away from the heart of Salt Lake City.
One of the neighborhood’s standout features is its connectivity. The light rail line runs directly east into downtown, making commuting or a night out in the city hassle-free. As Scott Renshaw, Arts & Entertainment Editor and longtime Salt Lake City Weekly contributor, puts it, “You get the convenience of being easily accessible to downtown without the downtown prices.”
A Variety of Housing Options
Jordan Meadows offers a diverse mix of homes to fit different lifestyles and budgets. From mobile homes in the 55-plus All Seasons community — complete with amenities like a clubhouse, pool, and fitness center — to charming bungalows and recently renovated condos, there’s something for everyone.
Many residents choose Jordan Meadows for its affordability compared to the downtown core, with a median home price around $410,000. The availability of single-family homes with yards is another big draw, especially for families and those craving a bit more space.
New Developments and Growing Opportunities
Recent growth along the North Temple corridor has brought new businesses and job opportunities to the area, attracting new neighbors and fostering a vibrant community spirit.
If you want a neighborhood that combines suburban peace with urban convenience — plus great mountain views and a welcoming community — Jordan Meadows is definitely worth a closer look.
