## Sold comps (top 3 by recency)
- $800,000 · 4/4.5 · 3,278 sqft · 2025-01-06 · 219 E Dorchester Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84103 (https://www.redfin.com/UT/Salt-Lake-City/219-E-Dorchester-Dr-84103/home/86414242)

## Verdict
Charming and walkable but inventory at 4bd/2,300+ sqft is genuinely scarce. Set a Redfin alert and watch — don't make this your primary search.

Pros: Walkable, historic charm; Memory Grove trail access; Great commute to U of U.
Cons: SFH inventory extremely thin — mostly condos/TH (only 4 multi-family + ~16 TH/condo per recent month); Middle school is the weak link; Older homes need updates (1910-1940s).
