Living in Woodland Hills: The Summit of Utah County

Woodland Hills is the "Park City" of Utah County. Perched high on the mountainside above Salem and Payson, it offers the most spectacular panoramic views in the valley. It is a strictly residential community—meaning no stores or gas stations—known for its dense scrub oak forests, roaming deer and wild turkeys, and complete solitude. It attracts executives and retirees who want a mountain lodge lifestyle just 15 minutes from Costco.

The city is currently undergoing its most significant infrastructure modernization ever. The transition from septic tanks to a Municipal Sewer System is actively underway throughout the 2026 fiscal year. Simultaneously, the city recently adopted new Fire Safety Road Standards, widening future roads to 32 feet to ensure emergency access—a critical update for a mountainside community.

Neighborhoods & Lifestyle

  • The Lower Bench: Homes closer to the entrance (Woodland Hills Dr). These offer easier winter access and are closer to Salem's amenities.
  • Summit Creek: The ultra-luxury gated community at the south end. It features modern architectural masterpieces that rival anything in Deer Valley.
  • Upper Woodlands: The highest elevation homes. These properties offer 100-mile views but require 4-wheel drive in the winter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Woodland Hills

Is there a sewer system?
It is happening now! Historically, Woodland Hills relied on septic tanks. However, the city is in the middle of a massive Sewer Conversion Project (active through 2026) to modernize the infrastructure. Check with me to see if a specific listing is connected or still on septic.
How is the fire safety?
Because the city is built in a forest, fire safety is the #1 priority. The city recently adopted new road standards to ensure fire truck access. Residents are also subject to strict "defensible space" landscaping rules to protect their homes.
Do I need 4-wheel drive?
Yes. If you live in the Upper Woodlands, a 4WD or AWD vehicle is essential in the winter. The city does an excellent job plowing, but the roads are steep and winding.
Are there stores in Woodland Hills?
No. There is zero commercial zoning in the city. Residents drive down the hill to Salem or Spanish Fork (about 10–15 minutes) for groceries and gas. This is intentional to keep the area quiet and peaceful.
