Homes with Casitas & Guest Houses in Cedar Hills, Utah
Cedar Hills sits on the bench above Pleasant Grove and American Fork, tucked against the western face of the Wasatch with Timpanogos filling the eastern skyline. It's a small city — roughly 10,000 residents — with larger lots than most of north Utah County, a golf course running through the middle of town, and a buyer base that leans toward LDS families, tech professionals commuting to Lehi's Silicon Slopes corridor, and BYU faculty. That demographic drives real demand for casitas and detached guest houses: parents staying for extended visits, adult children returning from missions or college, aging in-law suites, and home offices that need separation from a busy household. The lot sizes in pockets like the Cedars, Bridgestone, and the custom homes along Canyon Heights actually accommodate a second structure, which isn't true in tighter subdivisions down the hill.
Climate matters too — Cedar Hills runs cooler than the valley floor with real winters, so guest quarters here are built as fully insulated, year-round living space rather than seasonal pool houses. Expect finished casitas with kitchenettes, separate HVAC, and private entries. Pricing reflects both the scarcity of large lots and Alpine School District's reputation, with most casita-equipped properties trading between $1M and $2M. Inventory in this niche is genuinely limited, often just a handful of active listings at any given time. Browse the current active listings below to see which Cedar Hills homes offer a true second living space right now.

Common questions
About homes with casitas & guest houses in Cedar Hills.
Are detached casitas legal as rentals in Cedar Hills? ▾
Cedar Hills follows Utah's state ADU law, which requires cities to allow internal accessory dwelling units in owner-occupied homes, but detached casitas and short-term rentals face stricter local rules. The city has historically limited nightly rentals, and any rental use of a guest house should be verified with Cedar Hills planning before closing. Many casitas here are used for extended family, returned missionaries, or home offices rather than income.
What neighborhoods in Cedar Hills tend to have casitas or guest houses? ▾
The larger custom-home pockets above Canyon Road and the lots backing up to the Cedar Hills Golf Club are the most likely to include casitas, since lot sizes there support detached structures with parking. Some Harvey Boulevard and Cedar Hills Drive properties also have basement mother-in-law setups with private entrances. Inventory is thin — usually only a handful of true casita properties trade hands each year.
What's the price range for a Cedar Hills home with a casita? ▾
Most homes with a true casita or finished guest house list in the $1.1M to $2M range, depending on lot size, view, and golf course frontage. Basement apartments with separate entrances sit lower, often $850K to $1.3M. The premium over a comparable home without separate living quarters typically runs $75K to $150K.
Can I build a casita on a Cedar Hills lot that doesn't have one? ▾
It depends on the zone, setbacks, and lot coverage limits. Cedar Hills' larger R-1-15 and custom lots can sometimes accommodate a detached structure, but the city reviews each application and HOAs in subdivisions like Cedars or Bridgestone may have additional restrictions. Talk to the city planner and your HOA before assuming a build is feasible.
Are casitas useful for multigenerational families moving to Utah County? ▾
Yes — this is the most common reason buyers in Cedar Hills want one. The city sits between BYU, UVU, Silicon Slopes employers in Lehi, and Provo medical centers, so aging parents, college-age kids, or visiting family from out of state all benefit from separate quarters. Tech workers relocating from California and Texas often ask specifically for this layout.
How fast do casita homes sell in Cedar Hills? ▾
Faster than the broader market when priced right. Because so few homes in the 84062 ZIP carry a true guest house, well-marketed listings often go under contract in two to four weeks, sometimes with multiple offers. Buyers searching this niche tend to be decisive and pre-qualified at the higher loan limits.
