Located directly south of downtown, the Ballpark neighborhood in Salt Lake City is one of the city's most up and coming and convenient.
It is alive with local businesses, craft breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants. Close to downtown, major thoroughfares and public transit, Ballpark offers convenience many buyers and renters want.
Generally bound by 900 South on the north, 2100 South on the south, I-15 to the west and State Street to the east — Ballpark is centered around Smith's Ballpark, historic home of the Salt Lake Bees.
The stadium and nearby areas are going to be repurposed into a large community development – with multi-family and senior housing, a hotel, green space, a library, fire station, a “festival street” and an adapted sports venue proposed to be built in the area. The redevelopment of Smith’s Ballpark site signals increased future potential for growth, walkability, and local amenity investment.
With transit access, proximity to major retail and a growing roster of independent eateries and breweries, it’s increasingly on the radar for buyers, sellers and investors alike. Buyers are attracted to the area because of its central location, affordability, and future upside. Given the rental-dominant demographic and underway development, investors have their eyes on Ballpark for its potential long-term value growth.
