Moving to Salt Lake City, need help in determining a good area to rent?

[Mii]

I'm moving to SLC area (from Ogden)when I graduate in May 2008. Just wondering if any locals or anyone who's lived in Salt Lake can provide some info on which areas are better to live. (eg. Sugar house, WVC, Taylorsville, rose park and etc)

My husband works at the airport, and I'll be getting a job, so dunno where at this moment. However, we want to stay in a place that's not too expensive, and preferably not a high crime area. I also have 2 fixed cats (well-trained), but it's difficult to find an apartment that'd take them.

Any suggestions? I've checked Rent.com, apartmentguides, craigslist and classifieds....

I'm looking at a budget of $600 max at this moment.

Thanks!
