Steep streets, snow problems
Several streets above Center are steep enough that delivery trucks refuse uphill drops in winter. Plan for AWD.
Capitol noise + traffic
Legislative session (Jan-Mar) brings real traffic + parking pressure. Tour during session, not in summer.
Foundation issues common
Same foothill clay as the Avenues. Pre-1930 Victorians need engineer-level inspections.
Streetscape changes coming
SLC is reviewing Capitol Hill historic district expansion. Some streets may get new exterior-change rules.
Lower prices for similar product
Capitol Hill runs 10-20% under Avenues for comparable Victorian quality. Better value if you don’t need the Avenues address brand.
