The Avenues has the oldest housing in Salt Lake City, with 84% of its homes predating 1980 and the typical house dating from 1945. Despite that age, owners estimate $675,000, 25% above the $539,500 recorded for Salt Lake City and second among eight sectors. Rent runs against the grain: tenants pay $1,340, 5% below the city level and seventh of eight. Owners make up 38.3% of households, below the city's 45.8%. The neighbours show a mix. Central City is priced at $537,000 with 65.4% of its homes older than 1980, Downtown is at $504,000 in a sector whose midpoint house dates from 2009, and Capitol Hill is at $459,000. This north-side sector therefore combines the oldest stock with the second-highest values in the city, a pairing that makes it stand out from every sector around it, since none of them combines such old housing with such high prices.
