Why choose Heber City?

Heber (Heber Valley) sits at the base of the Wasatch Range, minutes from Jordanelle Reservoir and world-class ski areas. It's an attractive alternative to Park City for buyers seeking mountain living with slightly more space and relative affordability.

Location
About a 45–50 minute drive to downtown Salt Lake City under normal traffic conditions — ideal for occasional commuters and anyone who wants mountain life without losing access to the city.
Lifestyle
Outdoor recreation (hiking, boating, fishing, golf, skiing), local festivals, family-friendly neighborhoods, and a growing selection of restaurants and shops.

  • Single-family homes and new construction are common.
  • Luxury and amenity-focused communities are expanding in the area.
  • Inventory can be limited — a local agent helps you move fast.
