Building in Cottonwood Heights
The city between the canyons.
Cottonwood Heights sits on a ridge between Big and Little Cottonwood canyons. It became a city in 2005, but the houses are older than the city. Half the homes here were built between 1960 and 1980, and another quarter between 1980 and 1999.
That makes most homes 45 to 65 years old. Original kitchens, dated basements and tired bathrooms are the norm. Alpha Homes is a short drive away in Sandy.
