Cottonwood Heights:

Cottonwood Heights has recently found itself on the map! As the name suggests, Cottonwood Heights is situated and dominated by a high ridge that separates the Big Cottonwood Canyon and Little Cottonwood Canyon of the Salt Lake Valley. With multiple ski resorts and hiking destinations up both of the canyons, Cottonwood Heights is literally the “city between the canyons!“. Being near everything that you would want to do in the outdoors, this neighborhood/city has become a highly desirable location to buy a house and store your ski equipment! Real estate in Cottonwood Heights has surged in the past few years, with new money flowing into the older and more well-established area. Cottonwood Heights offers a unique buying experience, in that you can purchase a house that is classically Utah in style (split or bi-level), or buy a rambler ranch that looks to be more at home in the high rocky mountains of Colorado. Being recently incorporated in 2005 as a city, Cottonwood Heights is slowly coming into its own. Its’ unofficial Main Street for shopping and dining experiences is Fort Union Boulevard. It also is skirted on the north border by a 215, making this a deal for quick access to the entire valley.
