FrontRunner Opening Eminent

UTA announced yesterday that FrontRunner will begin service from SLC to Pleasant View starting April 26th. This is probably the most under-hyped story of Utah's real estate scene.

The implications for FrontRunner are huge. It will be a drain to the SLC market as homeowners seek lower house payments and head north. The rail will provide a faster and more passive commuting experience which should be very attractive to those with office jobs in Downtown SLC.

I expect many folks from the Holladay/Sugarhouse areas and also folks with the sensibility to live in the Avenues to gravitate toward Ogden's vintage housing stock. All of Ogden's Historic housing is less than a mile from the Downtown hub.

Let the immigration begin.
