Neighborhoods
The Ballpark neighborhood is a great place to live & work, and if you want to travel like a local, then THIS is the best place to stay. There are so many restaurants & bars that are walking distance! I absolutely love living in this neighborhood as I have for the last ten years. It has so much to offer and it’s absolutely Salt Lake City’s hidden gem.
Google recently renamed our neighborhood from People's Freeway (an outdated named that nobody used) to the Ballpark neighborhood, however, Airbnb has not updated this name! We are known as the Ballpark neighborhood because this is where our ONE & ONLY Baseball team plays! 🐝Go Bees 🐝!!!

This place is my absolute favorite restaurant - their octopus is to DIE FOR! If you don't like seafood, they also have other options that are amazing. It's a great place to share or to try a lot of different items.

Things To Do!
We love love love the Bee's! Last season we went to about 5-10 games. It is walking distance from the home and such a fun environment. The ballpark stadium is the perfect size because it's not overly huge like the Major League stadiums. It's definitely an experience! It has one of the best views of Salt Lake & the mountains there!

Must see! There are two different hikes, one that comprises of just a stairway and another that is a bit more strenuous but the views are unbeatable. This is a short drive about 10-15 minutes from the home.
