About Marmalade
Marmalade is Salt Lake City's most historically distinctive neighborhood — the Capitol Hill community whose streets bear fruit names (Apricot, Cherry, Peach, Plum, Quince) that give the neighborhood its identity. The $105K+ rising income from tech professionals, state government executives, and creative community whose investment in Marmalade's Victorian homes on the Capitol bench has created one of SLC's most sought-after historic residential addresses.
Salt Lake City's vehicle contamination environment is unlike any other batch market. Winter temperature inversions (December-February) trap particulate under a grey ceiling, leaving fine film on every outdoor vehicle. Great Salt Lake mineral dust from the shrinking lake's exposed bed carries alkaline particulate across the valley. High-altitude UV at 4,300+ feet drives rapid clear coat oxidation through 222+ annual sunny days. Road salt from SLC's real winter completes the calendar.
