The local read
Under $750K reaches the older central neighborhoods
In shortOwners in the Census count value a typical home near $539,500 (U.S. Census ACS 2020-2024), so this page reaches about $210,000 past that mark. Look for brick bungalows, older central-east houses and homes near the 9th and 9th shops, fed live from the MLS and priced high to low.
At $750K you are about $210,000 past the Census figure for the typical Salt Lake City home, near $539,500 (U.S. Census ACS 2020-2024). That money moves the search toward the middle of the city, where the houses are older and the streets are settled.
Liberty Wells is mostly brick bungalows from the 1910s to the 1930s, and it is listed as a historic district. Ask whether a house sits in a local district, because only a local one brings city review.
Central City runs from State Street to 700 East, and Liberty Park is inside it. East Central runs on east to 1400 East. Older houses sit there beside small apartment buildings and newer small projects, and the University is a short drive east.
The streets near the 9th and 9th business strip also fall in this search. The strip sits at 900 South and 900 East, in the same council district as Liberty Wells.

What the money buys
What the money buys, hold, stretch, or step down and the towns next door
What the money buys
Under $750K spreads across three older areas
These areas sit in the center of the city, so most homes are old and most streets are settled. Pick the area first, then the house.
Liberty Wells brick bungalows
The Salt Lake bungalow became the everyday house here by about 1915. Most are brick, one or one and a half stories, with a front porch and the narrow end to the street. Liberty Wells holds many of them.
The catch: brick walls that may have no steel inside, so ask an inspector. What you get: a porch and a settled street.
Central City and East Central houses
Central City has Liberty Park inside it, and East Central reaches out to 1400 East. The housing mixes older houses, small apartment buildings and newer small projects.
The cost: a mixed block, with apartments next door. The payoff: Liberty Park nearby, and the University a short drive east.
Streets near 9th and 9th
The 9th and 9th business strip, at 900 South and 900 East, is built around small shops and cafes. Central Ninth, near 200 West and 900 South, is in the same council district.
The catch: shops and houses share the area, so check the block you like. What you get: small shops and cafes close by.

Buying older houses
A four-step play
A four-step play
How to shop the older central streets
Most of the work in these neighborhoods is checking, because the homes are old. This path keeps the checks in order.
Pick your area first
Liberty Wells, Central City, East Central and 9th and 9th feel different on foot. Decide which one you want, then watch only those streets.
Price it against recent sales
Ask what similar homes nearby sold for, not only what the seller wants. I can pass your list to a partner agent who pulls those sales before you offer.
Hire an inspector who knows brick
Ask about walls with no steel in them, the roof and the wiring in a house from the 1910s to the 1930s.
Ask about a brick retrofit
Ask whether a past owner did one, and for the papers. Ask early. Then read the buying process and the art of the offer.

Quick answers
What people ask about homes under $750K
It reaches brick bungalows in Liberty Wells, houses in Central City and East Central, and homes near the 9th and 9th shops. The feed above shows today's mix.
It is the signature older house here, and it became the main style in Utah around 1911. Most are one or one and a half stories of brick, with the narrow end facing the street and a front porch. The Avenues hold the oldest cluster, and Liberty Wells and the central east side hold many more.
Ask an inspector about unreinforced masonry, which means brick walls with no steel in them. The city's Fix the Bricks program is closed to new applications, so ask whether a past owner already did a retrofit.
Central City starts at State Street and ends at 700 East, and Liberty Park sits inside it. East Central picks up at 700 East and ends at 1400 East. Both mix older houses with small apartment buildings.
It sits in the same council district as Liberty Wells, near 200 West and 900 South. It is a small urban center, where a 2013 rezone allowed mixed-use buildings and small homes.
Compare it with recent sales of similar homes nearby, and look at the asking price last. A partner agent can pull those sales for you. An average mixes very different homes, and a brick bungalow and a condo do not move together.
