Highland is a well-heeled residential city of roughly 20,000 positioned between Alpine and American Fork in north Utah County. The city is known for large lots and access to both Utah Valley employment centers and Wasatch recreation. Housing stock consists primarily of spacious single-family homes built from the 1990s onward, many on half-acre to one-acre lots. Highland's town center development is bringing walkable retail and dining to a city that has historically been purely residential. Highland is in the Alpine School District. For investors, it is a premium market with strong appreciation, longer average tenancies, and limited new supply.

Highland and Alpine share large-lot character, but Highland is more accessible with slightly smaller typical lot sizes and more developed commercial amenities (especially with the new Town Center). Highland's housing stock tends to be newer on average, and prices, while premium, are generally below Alpine's top tier. For investors, Highland may offer better liquidity because more homes trade and rents sit slightly below Alpine's top range. Both are in the Alpine School District.
Highland Town Center is a mixed-use development that's transforming the city's identity from a purely residential bedroom community into a place with walkable dining, shopping, and gathering spaces. The development includes restaurants, retail, and residential components. For existing Highland property owners and investors, the Town Center adds lifestyle amenities that enhance rental marketability, tenants can now walk to dinner or coffee rather than driving to American Fork for everything. This is a meaningful quality-of-life improvement that supports rent growth and tenant retention.
4-bedroom homes in Highland typically rent for $2,500–$3,500, with 5-6 bedroom homes on large lots reaching $3,500–$5,000. These rents reflect the premium location, school district, and property quality. Acquisition costs in the $600K–$900K range mean cash-on-cash returns are modest, but appreciation has been strong and consistent. Highland is a wealth-building market for investors who value stability, low management intensity, and longer average occupancy. The small inventory of rentals means well-priced listings generate immediate interest.
