Commuting      

Introduction
Living in the northeastern or southeastern areas of Salt Lake City offer the easiest commutes. Neighborhoods such as Capitol Hill and the Avenues (84103) or the University area (84102) are close and will present few obstacles. The University is easily accessed from areas located in southeast Salt Lake City via highways 215 or 80 and Foothill Blvd. You could live as far south as the Cottonwood canyons in Sandy (where the ski resorts are only a few miles away) and most of your ~35 minute commute would be highway.
