The Feel of the Place
Why People Love Living in Cedar Hills
Cedar Hills sits on the bench at the mouth of American Fork Canyon, with newer neighborhoods, mountain views, and a city-owned 18-hole golf course at its center. It became a city in 1999 and still has a small-town, neighborly feel.
Harvey Park's splash pad and pickleball courts, the Cedar Hills Family Festival each summer, and American Fork Canyon minutes away keep families outside. Lone Peak High and a 10–15 minute drive to Silicon Slopes make it popular with tech families.
