Alpine Real Estate
Utah County's Most Exclusive Address — Where Luxury Meets the Mountains
Why Alpine?
The Pinnacle of Utah County Living
Alpine represents the top tier of Utah County real estate — a small, exclusive community nestled against the Wasatch Mountains where lot sizes are measured in acres, not square feet. This is where successful professionals, executives, and families who've "made it" choose to put down roots.
The city sits at the mouth of American Fork Canyon, offering immediate access to world-class hiking, mountain biking, and skiing. Many homes feature unobstructed views of the canyon, Utah Lake, or both. The altitude provides noticeably cooler summers than the valley floor.
Alpine deliberately limits commercial development and maintains large minimum lot sizes. This isn't a community for everyone — it's for buyers who prioritize space, privacy, and natural beauty over convenience and are willing to pay a premium for it.

2026 Market Reality
What Buyers & Sellers Need to Know
For Buyers
Alpine is a patience market. Inventory is extremely limited — often under 30 homes available at any time — and homeowners tend to stay for decades. When desirable properties hit the market, they attract serious buyers quickly.
Entry-level Alpine starts around $800K for smaller lots or dated homes needing renovation. The sweet spot is $1M-$1.5M for updated homes on half-acre lots. Truly premium properties with views and acreage regularly exceed $2M.
For Sellers
You're selling a lifestyle, not just a home. Alpine buyers are seeking the prestige, privacy, and natural setting — they're not comparing you to tract homes in Lehi. Price according to the luxury market, not Utah County averages.
Longer days on market (60-90 days) are normal here due to the smaller buyer pool and higher price points. Don't panic — the right buyer will pay a premium for the right Alpine property.

The median home price in Alpine is approximately $975,000 — significantly higher than Utah County's average. Entry-level homes start around $800K, while premium properties with acreage and views regularly exceed $1.5M-$3M+.
Alpine commands premium prices due to large lot requirements (often 1/2 acre minimum), limited commercial development, stunning mountain/canyon views, immediate recreation access, excellent schools, and the city's reputation for exclusivity. Limited inventory and high demand from executives and professionals drive prices higher.
The commute to downtown Salt Lake City is approximately 40-50 minutes via I-15 during normal traffic, or 60+ minutes during rush hour. To Lehi/Silicon Slopes: 15-20 minutes. Many Alpine residents work remotely or have flexible schedules.
Absolutely — if you can afford it. Alpine offers top-rated schools, extremely low crime, abundant outdoor recreation, and a tight-knit community. The large lots give kids room to roam. The trade-off is higher prices and fewer nearby amenities.
Many Alpine properties allow horses and livestock, particularly on larger lots (1+ acre). However, HOA restrictions vary significantly by neighborhood — some prohibit animals entirely. We always verify animal regulations before showing properties to equestrian buyers.
