Cedar Hills residents can enjoy a slow morning on their front porch while enjoying up close mountain vistas, making it a great spot for people who want to embrace nature. “You’re right on the eastern bench, and the mountains are literally in your backyard, says Mariah Koehle of eXp Realty. “That’s exactly what people who live here want.” This small city hasn’t changed much, and neighbors love that. Nearby areas like American Fork and Saratoga Springs are experiencing massive growth, which has perks, but Cedar Hills residents prefer a quiet lifestyle. Salt Lake City is 35 minutes north, Provo is 20 minutes south and Lehi is 10-15 minutes down Route 92. Like Highland and Alpine, Cedar Hills allows neighbors to enjoy being immersed in nature and removed from the hustle and bustle of surrounding cities. However, the cost of living in Highland and Alpine is much higher; Cedar Hills paves a path for families on a budget; so, they don’t have to miss out. “Houses are definitely more affordable in Cedar Hills than in Alpine or Highland,” says Koehle.
Cedar Hills is located at the base of the majestic Timpanogos Mountain, which offers miles of scenic hiking trails through forests, meadows, and alpin

An outdoor enthusiast's dream
Cedar Hills is located right at the mouth of the American Fork Canyon. This is the ultimate playground for outdoor enthusiasts: cast a line at Tibble Fork Reservoir, embrace a bumpy off-roading Jeep drive on Forest Creek Trail or take in the beautiful mountainous views while hiking and mountain biking. For an underground adventure, explore limestone caves at the Timpanogos National Monument. When winter rolls around, hit the slopes at Sundance Ski Resort. Residents can spend a sunny day at Cedar Hills Golf Club or pack lunch for the whole family and post up at Harvey Park, where space-themed splash pads and playgrounds encourage small children to use their imagination. Basketball and pickleball courts invite friendly competition while Murdock Trail, an impressive 17-mile paved trail, runs from Provo to Lehi. Paved trails like this one are non-motorized, meaning no vehicles allowed; however, walkers, joggers and mountain bikers can enjoy a safe experience without worrying about traffic. Cedar Hills’ annual Family Festival is also happening at Harvey Park. The week-long summer event includes a motorcycle parade, 5k, fireworks and a grand parade.
