Fixer Upper Homes for Sale in Cedar Hills, Utah
Cedar Hills sits on the bench above American Fork and Pleasant Grove, tucked against the foothills below Lone Peak and Timpanogos. Because most of the city was platted and built between the mid-1990s and the late 2000s, the fixer-upper inventory here looks different than what you'd find in older parts of Provo or Salt Lake. Instead of 1950s ramblers needing new wiring, the typical Cedar Hills project home is a two-story built in 1998-2008 with original oak cabinets, builder-grade carpet, gold fixtures, and a half-finished basement. Bones are usually solid, mechanicals are middle-aged, and the work is mostly cosmetic with some kitchen and bath modernization.
The pull for buyers willing to update is straightforward: Cedar Hills feeds into the Alpine School District (Lone Peak High, Mountain Ridge Junior High, Cedar Ridge Elementary), sits ten minutes from the Silicon Slopes tech corridor in Lehi, and offers golf at Cedar Hills Golf Club plus quick canyon access to American Fork Canyon and Tibble Fork. Updated comparable homes regularly clear $800K-$1.2M, so a dated home bought 15-20% below market and refreshed thoughtfully tends to pencil out. Inventory in this niche is thin — usually a handful of candidates at any given time — so it pays to watch new listings closely and move quickly when something dated hits the MLS.

Common questions
About fixer upper homes in Cedar Hills.
Are fixer uppers common in Cedar Hills? ▾
Not really. Cedar Hills is a relatively young master-planned community, with most homes built between the late 1990s and the 2010s, so true tear-downs are rare. What does come up are original-owner homes from the early build-out years that need cosmetic work — kitchens, flooring, paint, and dated bathrooms — rather than full structural rehabs.
What price range do fixer uppers typically fall into here? ▾
Cedar Hills runs well above the Utah County median, with most homes trading between roughly $650K and $1.2M. A home needing significant updates usually lists 10-20% below comparable updated properties on the same street, which still puts most fixers in the high $500Ks and up.
Can I get a renovation loan on a Cedar Hills home? ▾
Yes. FHA 203(k) and Fannie Mae HomeStyle loans both work in Cedar Hills, and several Utah County lenders close them regularly. Just keep in mind that FHA loan limits in Utah County may cap how much house you can finance this way, so the math sometimes pushes buyers toward a conventional rehab product instead.
Are there HOA or architectural rules I should know about before remodeling? ▾
Parts of Cedar Hills sit inside HOAs (Cedar Hills Heritage, The Cedars, and others), and even non-HOA neighborhoods fall under city design standards for exterior changes. Anything visible from the street — siding, roof color, fencing, additions — typically needs approval. Interior remodels are far easier and just require standard city permits.
What kind of updates give the best return in this market? ▾
Cedar Hills buyers expect modern kitchens, white or light cabinetry, quartz counters, LVP or hardwood floors, and finished basements. Kitchen and primary bath updates consistently return the most, followed by basement finishes since families moving from California or out-of-state want the extra square footage move-in ready.
How close is Cedar Hills to contractors and building supply? ▾
Very close. American Fork and Lehi are five to ten minutes away with full-service Home Depot, Lowe's, and dozens of trades working the Silicon Slopes corridor. Lead times on cabinets and counters run shorter here than in St. George or the Wasatch Back.
