About Student Housing in West Valley City
West Valley City is the second-largest city in Utah and functions primarily as an affordable alternative to Salt Lake City for students at SLCC, Westminster, and the U of U. It sits directly west of Salt Lake, with TRAX light rail running through the northern part of the city and connecting to downtown Salt Lake in under 20 minutes. Rents are noticeably lower than the east side Salt Lake neighborhoods, and units tend to be larger for the price. The city has a rough-around-the-edges reputation, but the central and northern areas near transit are fine for students on a budget. Most of the student market concentrates near the TRAX stations.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in West Valley City
Near TRAX (North West Valley / 3500 South Corridor)
The most practical zone for students — TRAX stations provide direct downtown Salt Lake access, and bus routes fan out from there. Apartment options are dense and affordable in this corridor.
Central West Valley (Hunter Area)
More affordable than the north, though further from transit. Popular with students who have a car and prioritize space over commute convenience. Large apartment complexes with more amenities than the older north side stock.
