Single Story Homes for Sale in Highland, Utah
Highland sits at the base of the Wasatch, tucked between American Fork and Alpine along the benches that climb toward Timpanogos, and most of what's been built here in the last 20 years leans heavily toward big two-story homes on quarter-acre-plus lots. That makes true single story homes a smaller slice of the market — often older construction from the 1990s and early 2000s in neighborhoods like the areas off 6000 West or the streets near Highland City Park, plus a handful of newer rambler-style builds in communities that have added them for buyers who specifically want to avoid stairs. Lot sizes tend to run larger here than in neighboring American Fork, so single-level homes often come with a walkout basement built into the hillside, which gives you main-floor living plus extra finished square footage below without ever losing the one-level feel upstairs.
Demand for single-story layouts in Highland comes from a mix of buyers: retirees downsizing from bigger Alpine or Highland homes who want to stay in the same school district near their grandkids, growing families who want a primary suite on the main level while kids' bedrooms and a bonus room sit in a finished basement, and buyers with mobility needs who simply won't consider stairs. Because inventory is limited relative to two-story construction, these homes don't always sit long once listed, and pricing per square foot often runs a bit higher than comparable two-story homes in the same zip code.

Common questions
About single story homes in Highland.
Are true single-story homes common in Highland? ▾
They're available but not the majority. Highland's hillside lots favor walkout ramblers and two-stories, so pure single-level homes with no basement stairs are a smaller slice of inventory. Most listings labeled rambler here have a finished basement below the main floor, which still lives as one-level if you don't need the lower space.
What price range should I expect for a rambler in Highland? ▾
Entry-level ramblers from the 1990s and early 2000s typically start in the high $800,000s to low $1Ms. Newer custom single-story builds on larger lots near Lone Peak or the country club regularly sell between $1.6M and $2.5M, especially with main-floor primaries, oversized garages, and view lots.
Which Highland neighborhoods have the most single-story options? ▾
Country French, the older streets off 11000 North, and parts of Highland Glen tend to have the highest concentration of ramblers. Newer pockets near the Highland Country Club also include custom one-level builds, though those carry a premium and sell quickly when they come up.
Do Highland ramblers usually have basements? ▾
Most do. Because lots slope toward the valley, builders take advantage with walkout or daylight basements that add 1,500–3,000 finished square feet. If you specifically want a slab-on-grade home with no basement at all, inventory is thinner and worth flagging for your agent.
How is the commute from Highland to Silicon Slopes or Salt Lake? ▾
Lehi's tech corridor is about 10–15 minutes via Alpine Highway and I-15. Downtown Salt Lake runs roughly 35–40 minutes off-peak, and the Salt Lake City airport is about 45 minutes. Highland's location keeps you close to Utah County jobs without giving up access to the north.
What school district serves Highland? ▾
Highland is part of Alpine School District. Most homes feed into Freedom Elementary or Westfield Elementary, Mountain Ridge Junior High, and Lone Peak High School, which consistently ranks among the top public high schools in the state.
