Off-Campus Housing Near SLCC
About Off-Campus Housing Near Salt Lake Community College
Salt Lake Community College is a multi-campus institution spread across the Salt Lake Valley, which means "near campus" depends heavily on which campus you use most. The Taylorsville Redwood campus is the largest, with housing options concentrated along 4700 South and Redwood Road — suburban apartment complexes with solid bus access. SLCC draws a large commuter and working-student population, so many students live at home or in established SLC neighborhoods and commute rather than clustering near campus. For students who want to live independently, the areas around Taylorsville and Murray offer affordable apartments, and those willing to commute can access more vibrant SLC neighborhoods via TRAX and UTA bus.
Salt Lake Community College Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirements
SLCC has no on-campus housing and no live-on requirements. Students commute from wherever they live across the Salt Lake Valley — the institution is explicitly designed as a commuter college. Off-campus housing is the only option, and most students either live with family or in existing rental housing throughout the region.
Off-Campus Eligibility
There is no approved or contracted off-campus housing system at SLCC. Students rent freely anywhere in the Salt Lake Valley. The college's student services office provides housing resources, but finding housing near a specific campus is left entirely to the student.
Lease Timing
SLCC operates on a semester system with fall starting in late August. Standard 12-month leases work well for year-round students. For students who only attend one or two semesters, shorter lease terms from local landlords may be negotiable, especially in the Taylorsville and Murray areas.
