Living in Cedar Hills: Elevated Living

Cedar Hills is one of the most picturesque residential communities in Utah. Nestled on the "bench" of Mount Timpanogos between Pleasant Grove and Highland, it offers incredible elevation and sweeping valley views. It is primarily a bedroom community—quiet, safe, and free of major commercial traffic—centered around the stunning Cedar Hills Golf Club.

The community is investing heavily in its crown jewel. The massive $4.6 Million renovation of the Golf Club is well underway in early 2026, upgrading the entire irrigation system and bunkers to ensure the course remains a premier destination for decades to come. Residents are also enjoying local control over their highly-rated schools, having recently joined the new Aspen Peaks School District.

Neighborhoods & Lifestyle

  • The Golf Course District: The heart of the city. Living here means winding streets, manicured landscapes, and direct access to the 18-hole course.
  • The Bench (Timpanogos Cove): Located high on the mountainside, these homes offer the most spectacular views of Utah Lake and the valley floor.
  • Cedar Hills Gateway: The small commercial pocket at 4800 West. Additions like Dutch Bros add convenience without disrupting the quiet, residential vibe.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cedar Hills

What is the Cedar Hills Golf Club?
This is the heart of the city. It is a picturesque 18-hole course that winds through the residential neighborhoods at the base of the mountain. As of early 2026, the course is undergoing a major renovation to upgrade irrigation and playability. In the winter, the hills are popular for sledding and snowshoeing.
How are the schools?
Following the district split, Cedar Hills is now part of the Aspen Peaks School District. Depending on where you live in the city, students typically attend Lone Peak High School or Pleasant Grove High School, both of which are highly rated.
Is there shopping in Cedar Hills?
Very little, which is by design. The city prefers a quiet "bedroom community" atmosphere. However, the Cedar Hills Gateway (4800 West) offers essentials, and residents are only a 2–3 minute drive from the massive commercial districts in Pleasant Grove and American Fork (Walmart, Costco).
Is it a good place to live?
It is often ranked as one of the best places to live in Utah County due to its low crime rates and spectacular scenery. It sits right at the mouth of American Fork Canyon, giving residents instant access to the Alpine Loop and Tibble Fork Reservoir.
