Redwood Village — A 1950s Suburban Gem at the Crossroads of Change

Redwood Village: A Mid-Century Gem Amidst Modern Growth

Located at 3100 South and 1850 West, Redwood Village was developed in 1955 as a thoughtfully planned subdivision that captures the spirit of the 1950s suburban expansion in the Granger area. This modest but distinctive neighborhood was laid out with 53 lots, each featuring small Ranch-style homes constructed primarily of durable concrete block.

The homes in Redwood Village are notable for their classic mid-century design elements, including casement windows, nearly flat roofs, and unique modern details such as slanted porch and carport support columns. Many original carports have since been enclosed or altered, but the overall cohesion and character of the neighborhood remain intact, preserving its historic identity.

Today, Redwood Village finds itself at the heart of rapid urban growth, bordered by the bustling Redwood Road corridor and the I-215 interstate. Nearby, the Maverik Center stands as a symbol of the area’s transformation into a vibrant commercial and entertainment hub. Despite the encroaching development and increased traffic, Redwood Village remains a distinct enclave—a living reminder of the post-war suburban boom that shaped the community’s early residential landscape.

This neighborhood stands as an important piece of West Valley City's heritage, showcasing mid-century architecture and planning amidst the dynamic changes of the modern era.
