What condos, townhomes and houses cost in the city
Millcreek is known for its homes, ranging from modern condos and townhouses to large contemporary single-family homes. The east side of the city has higher prices because the homes are closer to the mountains and have wide views. Across Millcreek, home prices range from the upper $400,000s to around $2.3 million. Condos and townhouses are the cheaper options, selling from the upper $300,000s to the lower $800,000s. Most people are homeowners, but there are also plenty of opportunities to rent, from apartment units to detached homes. “It’s a very nice, high-yield area. Compared to other cities, it has more mature trees that line the streets,” says Rodney Moser, broker and owner at NextHome Navigator, who has over 30 years of experience. “It does cost a lot to get into Millcreek, because of their good schools, parks and homes.”
