High Plains Drive, Utah
Set against the wide-open landscapes of Grantsville, The Highlands offers a refreshing alternative to the congestion of the city—without sacrificing access to it. The community captures the quiet charm of small-town living, where mountain views stretch in every direction and life moves at a more comfortable pace. Yet despite the peaceful setting, residents are just 30 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, making it easy to commute for work, entertainment, or a night out before returning home to a calmer, more spacious environment.
Homes here, built by UpDwell Homes, reflect that same thoughtful balance. Designed for everyday livability, they pair comfortable layouts with energy-efficient construction and practical features that make life easier over time. The result is a non-HOA neighborhood that feels both intentional and enduring—a place where homeowners can settle in, build lasting value, and enjoy the quiet confidence that comes with a home designed to serve them well for years to come.

“Grantsville stands out as a very safe community. The low crime rate contributes to a welcoming atmosphere where neighbors often know each other and community involvement is strong.”
Quieter neighborhoods, less worry about property damage or theft, and a more relaxed lifestyle. For parents, the assurance that their children can play outside or walk to school safely is invaluable.
“The area benefits from a higher median home income, impressive per capita income, and consistently low unemployment rates.”
Proximity to Salt Lake City and Tooele means residents can tap into diverse job markets while enjoying a quieter lifestyle. Local businesses create jobs in retail, services, manufacturing, and technology.
“Residents can find quality homes at reasonable prices compared to larger metropolitan areas, while also benefiting from the potential for property value growth.”
The ability to purchase larger homes with more land at prices that would be prohibitive in Salt Lake City. Steady appreciation of home values makes Grantsville a smart choice for building equity over time.
Grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues are not within walking distance — a vehicle is needed for most errands.
Public transportation options are less frequent than urban centers. Most residents rely on personal vehicles.
