Homes for sale in Highland, Utah

Area overview

Highland is one of Utah County's premier family communities, offering generous lot sizes, stunning Mount Timpanogos views, and a suburban feel that still has breathing room. The city sits between Alpine and American Fork and has become a top choice for families who want excellent schools, safe streets, and a neighborhood where kids actually ride bikes to their friends' houses. The most established subdivisions include Beacon Hills on the east bench (known for larger custom homes and panoramic valley views), Pheasant Hollow with its mature landscaping and half-acre lots, and Highland Town Center near the city's commercial hub. Highland Springs offers newer construction with modern floor plans, while The Highlands and Mountain Ridge provide solid mid-range options for families who want quality without the $1M+ price tag. Schools are a major draw here. Highland is served by Alpine School District — Lone Peak High School draws from Highland and is consistently one of the top-performing high schools in Utah. Mountain Ridge Junior High and several well-regarded elementary schools (including Beacon Hills Elementary and Highland Elementary) serve the area. The district offers strong STEM programs, competitive sports, and a wide range of extracurriculars. Families I work with often list schools as the number one reason they chose Highland over neighboring cities. Highland has invested heavily in its trail system and parks. The Murdock Canal Trail runs right through the city, connecting to a regional network that reaches from Provo to Lehi. Beacon Hills Park, Highland Glen Park, and the Highland Town Center splash pad are family favorites. The city hosts Highland Fling each summer — a community celebration with live music, food trucks, and a 5K. For buyers who want mountain access, the Dry Creek trailhead is minutes away and connects into Alpine's Lambert Park system. Price ranges in Highland span from the mid-$500s for townhomes and smaller lots near the town center to $1.5M+ for custom homes on the east bench in Beacon Hills. The sweet spot for most families is $650K-$900K, which gets you a 4-5 bedroom home on a quarter to half acre with good finishes. I've helped buyers in every Highland subdivision — from young families getting into Pheasant Hollow to move-up buyers building in Highland Springs. If you want the Alpine lifestyle at a slightly more accessible price point, Highland deserves a serious look.
