What Are Home Prices and the Cost of Living in Cedar Hills?

Cedar Hills offers a range of housing options, from affordable townhomes to spacious single-family residences. Home prices typically start in the mid-$500,000s and can reach $900,000+ in upscale neighborhoods. The cost of living is slightly above the Utah average, reflecting the area’s desirable location and amenities.

Which Are the Best Neighborhoods in Cedar Hills?

Cedar Hills is a smaller, tight-knit city known for its mountain setting, well-kept streets, and strong sense of community, so neighborhoods here are more about elevation, views, and lot size than large master-planned amenities. The area around the Cedar Hills Golf Course is one of the most popular, offering scenic fairway and mountain views. Juniper Heights and The Cedars are prized for quiet streets and proximity to parks and trails. Homes higher on the bench tend to capture the best valley views, while those closer to the center offer easier access to shopping in neighboring American Fork and Pleasant Grove. Because Cedar Hills is largely built out, inventory can be limited, so it helps to know the streets and act quickly when the right home appears.
