Foothill
Foothill, also known as "The East Bench", in Salt Lake City, Utah is a relatively affluent and primarily residential neighborhood of Salt Lake City that lies at the base of the Wasatch Range
and extends west to approximately 1500 East. It is bordered on the north by the Federal Heights neighborhood and on the south by Interstate 80.
This neighborhood becomes increasingly affluent moving from west to
east. The neighborhood takes its name from the area's major traffic
artery of Foothill Drive, which runs parallel to the base of the mountains and connects Interstate 80 with the University of Utah
and downtown Salt Lake City. The University of Utah sits at the north
end of this neighborhood. Points of interest include the Hogle Zoo, Red Butte Garden and Arboretum, This Is The Place Heritage Park, Fort Douglas Military Museum and the Foothill Village Shopping Center.
Foothill includes many distinct neighborhoods, including the Country
Club (near the Salt Lake Country Club), the eastern side of historic Sugar House,
the Harvard-Yale Neighborhood, where many of the streets are named
after schools, Oak Hills (formerly the site of the Oak Hills drive-in,
above Hogle Zoo),
Donner Park, University Village, St. Mary's Park, and the Devonshire
Neighborhood near the "H-Rock", a large rock with an H painted on it
that represents Highland High School.
