Salt Lake County city guide
Midvale
Historic Main Street, Fort Union convenience, TRAX, I-15 access, murals, mature neighborhoods, and ambitious redevelopment in a compact central city.
Hello, Midvale
Small enough to cross quickly, varied enough to reward a closer look.
Midvale sits near the center of Salt Lake Valley with fast connections to Sandy, Murray, Cottonwood Heights, I-15, I-215, and two TRAX lines. Historic Main Street, Fort Union, established neighborhoods, and the Bingham Junction redevelopment area give the city several distinct personalities.
Housing includes early cottages, brick ramblers, mature subdivisions, condos, apartments, townhomes, and newer mixed-use development. Home era, parking, transit, nearby land use, flood and environmental history, utility boundaries, and future projects deserve attention.
