Best Low-Income Project 600 Lofts
Formerly known as the 616 lofts, this building includes almost 300 residential units that consist of mostly one- and twobedroom apartments, all with an income restriction at 60 percent AMI (area median income as calculated by HUD). You can calculate this for your own area by going to AffordableHousingOnline.com. Make an application to this apartment complex online or visit them in person. They are new, hip and centrally located near all the things you want to do in your free time such as eat, drink, shop and be amused, and are especially close to Trax. Sadly, their vacancy rate is low, if nonexistent. 90 E. 600 South, SLC, 801-988-5786, IsYourHome.com

Best Credit Union
Mountain America Credit Union Believe it or not, this local credit union is one of the top in the country according to its membership numbers and total assets. Early in the past decade, Utah legislators proposed a 5 percent tax on large credit unions in Utah (pushed by big bank lobbyists). As a result, MACU changed from a state chartered to a federally chartered credit union in 2003. Anyone can join this credit union but locals working for Marriott International and Walmart use this one as their Select Employer Group affiliation. They have 89 different branches in five states and yet they really do remember you when you walk in the door. And the employees tend to stick around the same branch for a while so you get to know them, too. Like it should be! Multiple locations, MACU.com 2. America First Credit Union 3.
