Deseret Subdivision

Deseret: A Mid-Century Brick Ranch Pocket on on 3325 West

Tucked between 3600 South and 3800 South along 3325 West, the Deseret subdivision is a modest but meaningful piece of Granger’s postwar development story. Subdivided in 1950 into 36 lots, Deseret slowly took shape during the early 1950s, with about half of its homes built by 1958.

Most of the houses that anchor this neighborhood date to 1953, built in the simple, practical brick Ranch style that defines much of the area’s mid-century growth. These homes were part of the broader wave of affordable, single-family housing that helped transform old farmlands into close-knit suburban streets.

Duplexes sprang up alongside the Ranch homes—although their exact age is harder to pin down, they add to Deseret’s visual variety and reflect changing housing needs over the decades. Many houses in Deseret have seen alterations: carports enclosed, siding added, garages converted—signs of families adapting their homes to new eras and needs.

Though not the largest or grandest subdivision, Deseret tells a familiar local story: farmland traded for starter homes, neighbors settling in for generations, and the landscape slowly changing while its mid-century brick bones remind us where it all began.
