Cedar Hills Real Estate
Quiet Family Community — Great Schools, Mountain Views, Small-Town Feel
Small-Town Feel, Big-City Access
Cedar Hills is one of Utah County's hidden gems — a small, tight-knit community tucked between Highland and Pleasant Grove. With only about 10,000 residents, it offers a quieter alternative to the rapid development happening elsewhere.
The city is known for its family-focused atmosphere, excellent schools, and community events centered around the Cedar Hills Golf Club and community center. It's the kind of place where neighbors know each other and kids ride bikes to friends' houses.
For buyers who want the quality of Highland living at a more accessible price point, Cedar Hills delivers similar lifestyle benefits without the ultra-premium pricing.

What Buyers & Sellers Need to Know
For Buyers
Cedar Hills inventory is extremely limited — the city is essentially built out, so resales dominate the market. Patience is essential; desirable homes may take weeks or months to appear.
When good homes list, they move quickly. Be pre-approved and ready to act when the right property appears.
Watch out for: Older homes that may need updates, limited commercial amenities (you'll drive to American Fork or Pleasant Grove for shopping), and the small-town trade-off of less anonymity.
For Sellers
Cedar Hills sellers benefit from scarcity — limited inventory means your home has built-in demand. Target buyers seeking the small-town lifestyle who've been priced out of Highland.
Position your home around community values, school quality, and the quiet lifestyle that Cedar Hills offers.
Our strategy: Emphasize the "best of both worlds" — Highland-adjacent living at a more accessible price point, with the same schools and similar lifestyle.
