The Feel of the Place
Why People Love Living in Millcreek
Millcreek Canyon starts inside the city, with the Pipeline, Grandeur Peak and Dog Lake trails (dogs off-leash on odd-numbered days).
Millcreek Common, the new city center by City Hall, has an ice ribbon in winter, roller skating in summer, and art and holiday markets.
Housing runs from ramblers in Evergreen to view homes in Olympus Cove and newer townhomes near I-15 and I-215. Joshua Sterling, REALTOR® with RE/MAX Associates, has helped families buy and sell homes in Millcreek.

School boundaries, enrollment, and programs may change over time. Most of Millcreek is served by Granite School District, with a few edges in neighboring districts. Granite suspended a 2025 east-side elementary closure study (including Eastwood Elementary) pending further review, so confirm school assignments with the district. We recommend confirming attendance boundaries and school assignments directly with the district before purchasing a home.
