Named for a sugar beet test factory, Sugar House is a trendy, artistic neighborhood in Salt Lake City, Utah. Though it isn’t technically a city, many Utahns recognize Sugar House as distinct from Salt Lake City, where the neighborhood is tucked away. Sugar House is one of Salt Lake City’s oldest neighborhoods, and thus the neighborhood is full of many quaint Victorian homes alongside many local, small businesses. Many of Utah’s young adults are drawn to the neighborhood’s burgeoning, progressive culture. For many of Utah’s residents, Sugar House represents a cluster of diverse and unique restaurants and shops. The neighborhood is also home to Westminster College, a private college with many notable alumni.
