Styles of Properties: Rambler

Almost all of the ramblers in Sugar House Utah were built after World War II. Most were built from the mid-1950s to the 1970s. What they lack in charm they make up for in space. Ceilings are high, rooms are big, and many basements are walkout. If you need a house above 3,000 square feet with five or more bedrooms and a two-car garage, you'll want to look at a rambler. Many St. Marys and Oak Hills residents are original owners of their homes. They are dated, and sell for about $150 per square foot. As this area turns over in the next few years and these homes are updated, watch out. These are big houses close to town, many with great city views. It could one day be the most desirable area in town.

Quirks: Built around 1960, most ramblers have plumbing and wiring that is not an inspection issue. Check the bar-tile roof in Oak Hills/St. Marys, however. If original, they might be due for a replacement.
