Utah County city guide
Highland
Open residential streets, canyon-close recreation, an expanding town center, and miles of parks and trails in northern Utah County.
Hello, Highland
Room to breathe, with the valley still within reach.
Highland occupies the transition between Alpine’s foothills, American Fork Canyon, and the busier northern Utah County corridor. Its broad streets, parks, trails, and predominantly residential character give it a quieter feel than neighboring commercial centers.
Housing includes established subdivisions, larger lots, custom homes, newer construction, and some attached options near evolving corridors. Access can feel very different from one side of the city to another, making school, work, canyon, and shopping routes part of the home decision.
