3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Homes for Sale in Cottonwood Heights, Utah
Cottonwood Heights sits at the base of Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons on the east bench of the Salt Lake Valley, roughly 15 miles south of downtown SLC and about 25 minutes from the airport when traffic cooperates. The 3 bed / 2 bath segment here is mostly older ranch and split-entry homes built in the 1960s through the 1980s in neighborhoods like Canyon Cove, Mountview, and the streets feeding into Bywater Park, plus a smaller pool of townhomes and patio homes closer to Fort Union Boulevard. Expect lot sizes from a quarter acre on the original ranches down to zero-lot-line townhome footprints, with prices that typically run from the mid $500s for townhomes and condos up past $850K for updated single-family ranches with mountain views or canyon access.
This bed/bath count is the workhorse of the Cottonwood Heights market — it's what skiers buy as a base camp 10 minutes from the Solitude and Brighton park-and-ride, what empty nesters downsize into from larger Sandy or Holladay homes, and what families in the Canyons School District (Butler, Bella Vista, Oakdale elementaries feeding Butler Middle and Brighton High) target before kids hit teen years. Winter brings real snow at 4,800–6,000 feet of elevation, so check roof age, furnace age, and driveway slope on anything you tour.

Common questions
About 3 bed 2 bath homes in Cottonwood Heights.
What's the typical price range for a 3 bed 2 bath home in Cottonwood Heights? ▾
Townhomes and condos with this layout generally start in the mid $500s, while detached single-family homes usually run from the low $700s to the high $800s depending on updates, lot size, and proximity to the canyon. Fully renovated ranches with mountain views or larger lots can push past $1M.
Are most 3/2 homes here single-family or attached? ▾
The majority are single-family ranches and split-entries from the 60s–80s, but there's a meaningful pocket of townhomes and patio homes near Fort Union and along Highland Drive. If you want a main-floor primary with low maintenance, the attached product is worth a look.
Which school boundaries should I check? ▾
Cottonwood Heights is in Canyons School District. Most 3/2 homes feed into Butler, Bella Vista, Oakdale, or Ridgecrest elementaries, then Butler Middle, and Brighton High. Boundaries shift block by block, so verify on the Canyons District site once you have an address.
How close are these homes to skiing? ▾
From most Cottonwood Heights addresses, the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon is 5–10 minutes by car, putting Solitude and Brighton within about 35–45 minutes door-to-lift in good conditions. The UTA ski bus stops along Wasatch Boulevard and Fort Union, which is a real perk during powder days when the canyon road backs up.
Do 3/2 homes here usually have basements? ▾
Most detached homes built before 1990 have full or daylight basements, which often means the listed 3 bed 2 bath count reflects only the main level — many have additional non-conforming bedrooms or a second family room downstairs. Always read the full room count, not just the headline beds/baths.
What should I watch for on older Cottonwood Heights homes? ▾
Roof age matters because of the snow load at this elevation, and a lot of original 70s and 80s homes still have aging furnaces, single-pane windows, or polybutylene/galvanized plumbing. Budget for inspection on the sewer line too — mature trees along the older streets are hard on lateral lines.
