Established and newer hilltop homes mingle along winding streets
Well-maintained houses, large lots and quiet streets make Santa Clara Heights a popular place to be. Homebuyers can choose from ranch-style homes, contemporary designs and Spanish-inspired residences among winding roads and cul-de-sacs. “Santa Clara Heights is popular with locals because it’s less congested than some nearby areas. It’s more laid-back, less commercial, and it’s a great place to raise a family. People move in and want to stay there, so there are generational purchases from one family member to another,” says Brian Hickman, a Realtor and associate broker with Realty Executives of Southern Utah and more than 20 years of experience. “There are a lot of ramblers with basements, but different sections of the neighborhood were built at different times. Some are still being built.” Homes sell for a median price of $533,000 after 55 days on the market, although the entire price range is more extensive. Ranch-style houses range from $470,000 to $670,000, while contemporary homes range from $850,000 to $1.8 million.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
