Jordan Meadows is a small community in Salt Lake City. It is located in the city’s northwest corner. It’s sandwiched between Wespointe on the north and Poplar Grove on the south. It borders Ballpark on the east. A majority of the land west of the airport is undeveloped or used for industrial purposes. The airport spans portions of Jordan Meadows and Westpointe. The majority of residential development is on the east end of this long, narrow neighborhood.
The residential development in Jordan Meadows is conveniently located within minutes of downtown Salt Lake City. The location offers easy access to major interstates and is less than an hour from Utah’s world-class ski resorts.
The location is represented by Salt Lake City Council District 1. The district includes Fairpark, Jordan Meadows, Rose Park, and Westpointe. The District 1 website says, “Jordan Meadows is what’s known as a minority-majority neighborhood. Which means more than half of residents represent social, ethnic, or racial minorities. The neighborhood is growing! With development along the North Temple corridor and in the North West Quadrant, there has been a rise in job opportunities and new residents.”
