Woodland Hills, UT

Tucked high in the foothills of the southern Wasatch Range, Woodland Hills offers a quiet mountain escape just south of Provo. Home to around 1,500 residents, the town sits above the valley floor, with winding roads that climb the hillside to reveal sweeping views of Utah Lake and Mount Timpanogos. Neighborhoods are made up of custom homes on spacious, wooded lots, giving the community a secluded feel where deer and other wildlife regularly wander through the yard.

Because the city is strictly residential, you will head down the hill to neighboring Salem or Spanish Fork for groceries, dining, and daily errands. Families are served by the Nebo School District, and commuters have a straightforward drive to Provo or Orem via I-15. The hillside roads can get steep and snowy during the winter months, making four-wheel drive a practical necessity. In return, residents enjoy cooler summer temperatures, cleaner air, and scenic trailheads right outside their door.
