What does a home in Cottonwood Heights cost?
Short answerThe Census puts the typical Cottonwood Heights home value at about $694,100. That is what owners say their homes are worth, not a sale price. About 72 percent of homes here are lived in by their owners.
My market reports cover Southern Utah. For Cottonwood Heights, these numbers come from public records: the U.S. Census and the Utah State Tax Commission. They move slower than sale prices, but anyone can check them.
The city has no open land left. The median home went up in 1978, and fewer than 2 percent of homes were built since 2020. So most homes for sale are resale homes, and new homes come a few lots at a time. The ground also climbs about 1,000 feet from I-215 to the highest streets, and the views, the snow and the trail access rise with it.

If you are buying
Price a home against recent sales of homes like it nearby, not against the Census figure. A condo near Fort Union Boulevard and a house above Wasatch Boulevard do not move together. On the high streets an appraiser has fewer close sales to compare, so ask early.
If you are selling
Who buys depends on the home. Most homes here went up from 1950 to 1989, so buyers ask what has been updated. Hillside homes sell on wider views and trail access. Start with what homes like yours sold for in the last few months.
What is my home worth?I am licensed in both real estate and lending. On any one purchase I take one role. If I am your lender, I can tell you early if a home could be hard to get a loan on. You are always free to choose your own agent and your own lender. The full explanation is on How I Work.
Only in Cottonwood Heights
What makes the Cottonwood Heights market different?
Short answerThe city is full, and it climbs. New homes come a few lots at a time, and the ground rises about 1,000 feet from I-215 to the hillside, so the snow and the view change with the street.
Cottonwood Heights sits near the top of these five towns. Only Holladay, next door to the north, has a higher typical value. Sandy, Murray and Midvale come in under it.

The height sets the street
The ground runs from about 4,400 feet by I-215 to over 5,000 along Wasatch Boulevard, with homes up to about 5,500. Views, snow and trail access rise with it. These are heights, not prices.
Snow at the canyon mouth
The city's weather station at the Big Cottonwood mouth logs about 82 inches of snow a year, against about 52 at the airport. The lower west side gets less. Ask what a street is like after a storm.
No open land left
The median home was built in 1978. New homes come in small pieces, like 10 lots on Bengal Boulevard and 3 lots on East 6525 South, plus rebuilds. A project in a record is not a home for sale.
The news happens at the canyon mouths
Plans for the old gravel pit and a condo building at Canyon Centre are still before the city, and the state now owns a parcel for a possible gondola base. If you buy near one, follow the agendas.
Powder mornings fill the roads
Brake lights stack up along Wasatch Boulevard on storm mornings, and both canyon roads are dead ends in winter. Drive Wasatch Boulevard on a busy winter Saturday before you buy near it.
The ZIP does not tell you the city
A "Salt Lake City 84121" or "Midvale 84047" mailing address can sit inside Cottonwood Heights. A listing's city line may not name it, so check the map.

Shop by part of town
Which parts of Cottonwood Heights should I look at first?
Short answerCottonwood Heights has no master-planned villages to sort by name. It reads best by the ground and the main roads, from low on the west to high on the east. The ground, the view and the snow change block by block.
The west side and Fort Union Boulevard
The flattest blocks, at about 4,400 to 4,550 feet, with shops and offices along Fort Union Boulevard. It gets less snow than the hillside and has the most apartments in the city.
Butler
About 4,700 to 4,850 feet. City Hall, Brighton High, Butler Middle, Butler Park and the rec center sit here, on the ground of old Butlerville.
The Old Mill corner
About 4,700 feet, along Big Cottonwood Creek and Canyon Road. It has the 1883 mill, office parks and Old Mill Park.
The canyon mouth
About 4,900 to 5,000 feet, at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Canyon Centre has a hotel and restaurants, and the old gravel pit is nearby.
The hillside
About 4,950 to 5,500 feet, between the two canyon mouths. It has the widest views, the most snow and the quickest trail access. Part of it sits in a state fault study zone, so check the lot.
The Little Cottonwood corner
The south end. The state bought a parcel here for a possible gondola base, and the Little Cottonwood park and ride is just over the line in Sandy.

Shop by home type
What kind of home are you looking for?
Short answerSome searches are about the house, not the part of town. Each link below is its own page, with a short local guide and the live listings that match.
Homes with a basement
Many older homes have a lower level, and hillside lots can have a daylight or walkout level. Ask for a radon test: in state data, 28.5 percent of short-term tests in ZIP 84121 were at or above the fix-it level.
See the listingsSingle-story homes
Mostly ramblers from the 1950s to the 1970s in the middle of town. Read the floor plan to see how the space is laid out.
See the listingsTownhomes
Attached homes are about 7 percent of the city, and Fort Union Boulevard has the most apartments. Ask whether a project sells homes at all or only rents them.
See the listingsNew construction
There is no open land, so new homes come a few lots at a time, plus rebuilds. Builders often cover the buyer agent fee, and your agent puts that in writing.
See the listingsRV parking homes
Room for a trailer on canyon days. Big Cottonwood is about 7 minutes from City Hall and Little Cottonwood about 10. Larger lots tend to have more room than townhome projects.
See the listingsADU and casita homes
A detached ADU is a small second home on the same lot. The city is rewriting its ADU rules in 2026, so ask what is in force when you buy.

The U.S. Census puts the typical Cottonwood Heights home value at about $694,100 (ACS 2020 to 2024). That is what owners say their homes are worth, averaged over five years, not a sale price. It runs above the Census values for Salt Lake City and Sandy.

My base is Southern Utah. For a Cottonwood Heights move, I connect you with a partner agent I trust in Salt Lake County for the showings, the offer and the closing.

Not to look, and not to talk with me. You will want one before you write an offer. A pre-approval is a lender's letter that says how much you can borrow. Sellers take it seriously, and it settles your real budget. On the high streets an appraiser has fewer close sales to compare, so start early. The pre-approval guide shows how it works.
List it with the partner agent I connect you with in Salt Lake County, and your home gets featured on MovingUtah. The get featured page shows how that works. A home valuation is a good first step.
Mostly resale. The city has no open land left, so new homes come a few lots at a time: 10 lots on Bengal Boulevard (approved July 2026), 3 lots on East 6525 South (September 2026) and rebuilds. A 36-unit condo building at Canyon Centre went to the planning commission with no approval found, and the gravel pit plan is still under discussion. A project in a record is not a home for sale. The new construction page shows what is going up.
From City Hall, Snowbird is about 22 minutes, Alta 23, Solitude 27 and Brighton 31. Storm mornings and avalanche closures add a lot of time, and brake lights stack up along Wasatch Boulevard. Ski buses 972 and 994 also run from the area.
