About Student Housing in Millcreek
Millcreek is an incorporated city just south of Salt Lake City's Sugar House neighborhood, and it functions as an extension of that market. U of U students and graduate students who get priced out of the Avenues often end up here — rents run a bit lower for similar unit quality, and TRAX access is decent. The city has a quieter, more residential character than Sugar House, with fewer bars and more single-family homes mixed in among the apartment stock. Access to the Millcreek Canyon trails for hiking and biking is a genuine draw for outdoor-oriented students. It is a practical choice for students who want Salt Lake proximity without paying Salt Lake prices.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Millcreek
South Sugar House / North Millcreek
The stretch along 2100 South and 2300 South bordering Sugar House is the most student-dense part of Millcreek — apartments, coffee shops, and the S-Line streetcar within range. Slightly more affordable than Sugar House proper.
East Millcreek
Further from the transit lines but closer to the canyon and more affordable. Better for students with a car who want more space. Less walkable but very bikeable along the canyon road.
