The newest 3-car garage listings.

Fed straight from the local MLS and filtered to homes that list a three-car garage: new Cottonwood Heights listings land here as they post, and sold homes drop off. The read on where the third bay clusters on this bench is just below.

If the grid looks thin today, that is the real Cottonwood Heights market, not a glitch: this is an essentially built-out 1950s-to-1980s bench, and a lot of the older mid-bench homes were drawn with one or two bays, so a true third bay runs lean some weeks. Tell me what you are after and I will have the Cottonwood Heights-area agent I work with flag the next match the morning it lists. The wider all homes for sale view is the place to watch the full count.

The local read


What a three-car garage really buys in Cottonwood Heights.

Cottonwood Heights is one of the few valley cities with two canyons out the back door, and that is the whole reason a third garage bay matters here more than it would on the valley floor. Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood open right at the city's eastern edge, with four ski resorts up the two roads, so a Cottonwood Heights garage tends to hold real gear: skis and boards for the whole house, a couple of mountain bikes, climbing and camping kits, and very often a second set of wheels set up for winter while the daily driver gets the warm bay. The third bay is where that lives instead of the driveway.

Where you find it is the catch, because this city is built out and the third bay tracks the era and the elevation. The 1950s-to-1970s ramblers and split-levels on the older mid-bench grid around Butler were mostly drawn with one or two bays, so a genuine three-car door there usually means a later addition or a rebuild. The deeper three-car stock sits in the later phases climbing the bench and on the upper east bench customs along Wasatch Boulevard, where the lots are bigger and the homes are newer or fully rebuilt. If a third bay is on your must-have list, that is the part of town to point the search at, and the two-story page and the luxury page overlap heavily with it.

The other thing the third bay quietly earns is the workshop. On a built-out bench where new value gets created lot by lot, a deep or tandem third bay is where the home projects happen: a bench, a wall of tool storage, a tuning station for ski edges, a spot to keep the snowblower that earns its living up here. Read the listing for whether that third bay is a true side-by-side stall or a tandem running back behind one of the others, because the two live very differently and the photos rarely make it obvious.

One more bench-specific note. If what you really want is open room beside the house for a trailer, a boat, or the camper, a garage stall is not the same thing, and that is a separate search. The RV parking page covers the side-yard pad question, which is genuinely scarce on this established bench. Earlier in the process than show me listings? Start with the Cottonwood Heights guide for the whole picture, and when a home below reads right, that is the moment to reach out.

What counts as three-car here

  • True side-by-side three: three stalls across the front, the most flexible layout and the most useful for gear plus a workshop wall. Most common in the later-phase and upper-bench homes, less so in the older mid-bench grid.

  • Tandem third bay: a deep bay running back behind one of the others rather than a third door across the front. Great for a long workbench, a boat, or storage, but you cannot park three cars side by side. Read the floor plan, not the photo.

  • Added or rebuilt: on an older Butler-area rambler or split-level a third bay usually means a later addition or a full rebuild. Worth confirming the addition was permitted and how the structure ties into the original.

  • Garage plus the gear: the bay earns its keep on ski and canyon equipment, a winter set of wheels, and a workshop, which is why the third stall reads as a real feature here and not just extra square footage.

The local map


Where the three-car garages actually are.

Three-car garages turn up across Cottonwood Heights, but they follow the era and the elevation. The older mid-bench grid runs lean on them, while the later phases and the upper east bench carry the deeper stock. Here is where to look.

The upper east bench along Wasatch Boulevard

The highest streets between the two canyon mouths hold the newer and fully rebuilt customs, and that is where true side-by-side three-car garages concentrate. Lots are larger up here, the views run across the valley to the Oquirrhs, and trailheads and the two ski roads sit minutes away.

The later-phase streets climbing the bench

The 1970s through 1990s subdivisions filling in above the older core were drawn at a time when a three-car garage was becoming standard, so the later you go up the bench the better the odds of a real third bay without a rebuild.

The Butler and mid-bench core

The original 1849 Butlerville ground and the postwar grid around Butler Park and Butler Middle School are ramblers and split-levels, mostly one or two bays. A third stall here usually means an addition or a rebuild, so read the listing closely.

North Cottonwood Heights toward Holladay

The bench blocks running toward the Holladay line sit at gentler grades and prices than the upper bench. The stock is mixed, so three-car garages appear on the later builds and the rebuilds rather than across the board.

Lot-by-lot rebuilds anywhere on the bench

Because the city is built out, new value gets created one lot at a time. A full rebuild on a mature street often adds a three-car garage to a parcel that never had one, so do not write off an older block on the garage question alone.

The Little Cottonwood Heights corner

The southeast corner toward the Little Cottonwood mouth and the Sandy line carries some of the larger newer homes, where three-car garages show up alongside the canyon proximity. This corner is also where the canyon land-use news happens, so it is worth folding into your homework.

Before you tour: what to actually check

Side-by-side vs. tandem: confirm whether the third bay is a true stall across the front or a deep tandem behind another. The listing photos rarely make it obvious, and the two uses are very different.

Depth and door height: if a workshop, a longer truck, or tall gear matters, measure the bay depth and the door height in person. Older additions in particular can be shorter than the newer custom bays.

Was it added or original: on an older Butler-area home, ask whether the third bay was part of a permitted addition or rebuild and how it ties into the original structure and roofline.

Workshop wiring and heat: for a real workshop, check for adequate outlets, any 240-volt circuit, and whether the bay is insulated or heated, which matters on a bench that gets real winters.

Driveway grade and snow: this is a bench, and some streets climb. Look at the driveway slope and where snow sheds and piles, because that shapes how usable the third bay is in January.

Storage vs. parking math: decide honestly whether you need three cars parked or two cars plus a gear-and-workshop bay, because that changes which layouts work and widens or narrows the list.

Quick answers


Three-car shopping, answered.

Less common than in the newer valley-floor cities, because Cottonwood Heights is essentially built out and a lot of the older mid-bench ramblers and split-levels around Butler were drawn with one or two bays. The deeper three-car stock sits in the later phases climbing the bench and in the upper east bench customs along Wasatch Boulevard, plus the lot-by-lot rebuilds. The live listings above are the honest count on any given week.

Because two canyons open at the city's eastern edge with four ski resorts roughly 20 to 35 minutes up the two roads, so garages here tend to hold real gear: skis and boards for the whole house, bikes, climbing and camping kits, and often a second set of wheels set up for winter. The third bay is where that lives instead of the driveway, and it doubles as a workshop on a bench where home projects are constant.

A side-by-side three-car garage has three stalls across the front, so you can park three cars next to each other. A tandem third bay runs deep behind one of the other stalls, which is excellent for a workbench, a boat, or storage but cannot hold a third car beside the others. The listing photos rarely make the difference clear, so read the floor plan and I am happy to read it with you.

Point the search at the later-phase streets climbing the bench and the upper east bench along Wasatch Boulevard, where the newer and rebuilt homes sit on larger lots. The older Butler and mid-bench grid runs lean on three-car garages, so a third bay there usually means a permitted addition or a full rebuild. The two-story page and the luxury page overlap heavily with the three-car stock.

Often, yes, and that is one of the main reasons the third bay reads as a real feature here. Check the listing and the home in person for bay depth, outlets and any 240-volt circuit, and whether the space is insulated or heated, which matters through a bench winter. If it is a tandem bay it is especially well suited to a long bench and tool storage even though it will not park a third car.

No, and that trips up a lot of searches. A garage stall holds a vehicle indoors, but open side-yard room for a trailer, a boat, or a camper is a separate thing that is genuinely scarce on this built-out bench. If that is what you want, start with the RV parking page, and tell me which one matters more so the local agent can filter the right way.
