The Salt Lake City neighborhood of Glendale, which sits just southwest of the city's center, features a wide array of older townhomes for rent, as well as newer large apartment complexes -- all for rates that run far lower than most of the city. Getting around Salt Lake from Glendale proves easy if you have a car, thanks to the many major highways crisscrossing the neighborhood.
A wealth of daytime activities await Glendale residents. Head to Jordan Park to relax in the International Peace Garden, or pick up some just-picked produce at the weekly farmer's market. Glendale also hosts Seven Peaks, a tween and teen destination for go-karting, rock climbing, water play, and laser tag. The neighborhood's diversity is reflected in its restaurants, with Mexican, Ethiopian, Polynesian, and Greek choices readily available.
