    p.s. I know this has nothing to do with 2018 recruiting. ha

    Like you, we moved back to SLC after several decades away and bought a house in the Millcreek/Holladay area that needed remodeling. Recently, we sold that house to move closer to the U. It sold quickly, so I think the area is still desirable, but, as you mentioned, it can be difficult to find an updated home under $600k. Having said that, there are still pockets of terrific neighborhoods where you can find what you want under $600k. It may take the patience of saint, but, eventually I think you'll land something. For example the neighborhood just east/southeast/southwest of Olympus has a number of great neighborhoods with homes in the 2500-3000 sf range that will sell for under $600. It helps if you have some connections that can learn about a sale "by word of mouth" as opposed to letting it hit the market. Good luck.

    Thanks much, mUUser. Yeah...it has not been easy. I think I now know every house for sale under $625k between the Avenues and Holladay...LOL. Haven't seen anything I really liked under $650k. There are a few pretty goods ones around $620k (Foothill, East Millcreek, and Canyon Rim), but I have not been impressed by the $550k-$600K homes in those areas. I don't mind getting something lower and do renovation, but the combination of good "bone structure", lot size, and price is tough. Found a house I really like in Fruit Hts, but am still debating if that's too far from SLC. Parents are in Ogden...though, not really a decision factor.

    if you're Mormon and you don't mind going to chain food operations for dinner, Fruit Heights works.

    I'm surprised you can't find anything under 625k. I guess that means my home is worth more than I thought

    are you commuting? Fruit heights-SLC is brutal in rush hour both ways. How close is the house to front runner?

    Salt Lake City named the second most hipster city in the U.S.

    Salt Lake City finished ahead of Cincinnati, Ohio; Boise, Idaho; and Richmond, Virginia
    Quite the compelling competition there.

    No commuting. Just airport runs. I travel for work most of the time.

    The airport from Fruit Heights is easy. Legacy Highway makes it almost a straight shot. My stepson and his family live near Oakridge Country Club. The Farmington Station shopping area is really nice. Downtown SLC is only 25 minutes away in non-rush hour traffic. There are a couple of nice golf courses nearby, Davis and Valley View. And for outdoor recreation such as skiing, hiking, mountain biking, etc., Ogden Valley is underrated, less crowded than SLC and PC, and is less than 30 minutes away.

    I live in Centerville, and if I ever decide to move, Fruit Heights or east Layton would be high on my list.

    FWIW, certain parts of Millcreek and Holladay I've joked are 25 minutes from everything... in a bad way. We lived not far from the Holladay City center and it felt like it took forever to get to the freeway to get downtown or to the airport or whatever. Your choices are to go south over to Cottonwood Heights and jump on the freeway there, go North on 2300 East to get on to I-80, or go east and hope on the I-215 from 4500 south all are at least a 10-15 minute drive, plus the rest of your travel time.

    Keep in mind I've always lived about 5 minutes from the Freeway my entire life except then, but it drove me nuts.

    I'm spoiled because I grew up in the city. I rarely needed to go anywhere that was more than a 10 minute drive. A 20 minute drive felt like a big trip.

    One of the great blessings of my life is that I've always lived in walking or cycling distance to work. I've never had a commute. I've noticed that I have that item higher up on the priority list when looking for a home than most people.

    Can't get on 215 from 45th. As a newly minted Holladay resident it drives me crazy.

    Wow, it seems there is a gathering of sorts back to Utah. mUUser, justaute, and now Scratch have all recently moved back to Utah from distant lands. LA Ute, Sancho, SeattleUte, the homeland beckons.

    Thanks, Chris. I'm actually staying in Ogden with family right now. Agree with you regarding the airport commute from Fruit Hts -- easy. The way I look at it is that the distance between Fruit Hts and SLC is not much more than that of Cottonwood Hts and SLC; however, there are a lot more "going ons" in between Cottonwood Hts and SLC than between Fruit Hts and SLC. That said, for whatever reason, having grown up in Ogden, I have always liked Fruit Hts, especially on the East Bench side.

    I noticed that. Though, it is quite convenient from Canyon Rim, Foothill, and East Millcreek areas, where I have done the preponderance of my search. Holladay and Cottonwood Hts have been my secondary.

    Interesting. I was looking around 24th E and 45th S, which wasn't far from 215 (south bound), but I guess the North/East bound entrance of 33rd S is a bit farther.

    Im starting the out migration. We are selling our home in Holladay and buying a place in Mission Bay. We will split our time between that place and a condo in Park City. Our new Ward is home to Mitt and Ann Romney and we sat right behind them in SS.

    Ditto. The inversion alone would be too much to handle.

    Congrats! That sound like a dream retirement scenario to me.

    Well, this is the 2018 recruiting class...right?

    We visited my parents in SLC last week, and I believe I have had my fill for a while.
    I could not take the traffic. But I do miss the mountains. They are glorious.

    It was nice seeing the UBoyz billboards up around town.

    Sounds terrific. I will admit, I struggle with the winters here in the Valley. And Park City is just too damn cold. I love living here the other 9 months, but am prepared to GTFO of here in the winter as soon as I can.

    Unfortunately, I'm still raising kids, but I get more time out of here in the winter than I used to. Hopefully that trend continues.

    How do you appear in court? Still billing Cali rates? Can you ask if I catch on of counsel, even though I dont know anything about Cali law and am not a member of the bar? I will work cheap.
