Homes with Pools for Sale in Highland, Utah
Highland sits on the bench between Alpine and American Fork at roughly 4,900 feet, which means pools here run a real season — usually Memorial Day through mid-September, with the warmest stretch in July and August when daytime highs sit in the upper 80s to mid-90s. Most pool homes in Highland are on larger half-acre to full-acre lots in neighborhoods like The Highlands, Country French Estates, Bull River, and the newer Highland Hills area west of SR-92. Because lot sizes here are generous compared to neighboring Lehi or Pleasant Grove, backyards often have room for a full pool, spa, covered patio, sport court, and still keep grass for kids — a layout that's harder to pull off elsewhere in northern Utah County.
Expect most in-ground pools to be heated (gas heaters are standard given the elevation and shoulder-season cool nights), and many newer builds include automatic safety covers, which Highland City strongly encourages and insurers often require. Pool homes in Highland typically list well above the city median, with most landing in the $1.4M–$2.8M range depending on lot size, finish level, and whether the pool is paired with a casita or detached shop. Tech commuters appreciate that Silicon Slopes in Lehi is 10 minutes south and the Point of the Mountain is under 20.

Common questions
About homes with pools in Highland.
How long is pool season in Highland? ▾
Realistically about four months without a heater — late May through September. With a gas heater and a good cover, owners commonly extend swimming into early October and start back up in early May. At 4,900 feet, nights cool off fast even in July, so heaters and covers aren't luxuries here, they're how you actually use the pool.
Are pools common in Highland compared to nearby cities? ▾
More common than in Lehi or American Fork, mostly because Highland's lot sizes are bigger. Half-acre and acre lots are the norm in older sections like Country French and The Highlands, which gave builders and owners room to add pools without sacrificing the rest of the yard. You'll see a meaningful share of homes above $1.5M with in-ground pools.
Does Highland City have specific rules for residential pools? ▾
Yes. Highland requires a building permit, a barrier (fence or approved safety cover) at least 5 feet high, and self-closing/self-latching gates on any pool enclosure. Pools must also meet setback requirements from property lines and septic systems. Your agent or the city's building department can confirm specifics for any property you're considering.
What does a pool add to the price of a Highland home? ▾
In Highland the premium for a quality in-ground pool, spa, and surrounding hardscape typically runs $80,000 to $150,000 over a comparable home without one — sometimes more if there's a pool house or extensive outdoor kitchen. Resale tends to hold up well here because the buyer pool for $1.5M+ homes expects high-end outdoor space.
Are indoor pools available in Highland? ▾
Occasionally. A handful of larger custom estates in Highland have indoor or natatorium-style pools, which solve the short-season problem but add significant utility cost and humidity-management complexity. They're rare on the market — usually one or two listings a year at most — so if that's a must-have, expect to wait or build.
What should I inspect on a Highland pool before closing? ▾
Beyond a standard home inspection, hire a dedicated pool inspector to check the heater, pump, filter, plaster or liner condition, and the safety cover mechanism. At Highland's elevation, freeze damage to plumbing is the biggest risk, so ask for documentation that the pool has been properly winterized each year. Also confirm the gas line sizing if the heater is propane or natural gas.
