August SunCrest Market Update

More SunCrest Development?

Draper City recently received a $7.3 million dollar offer from Blue Bison Development on 110 acres of SunCrest area property. Located at approximately 2900 E 16000 S, or just east of the Mercer Hollow subdivision on the Utah County side, this area was declared surplus a few years back (the city’s way of saying “for sale”) and appears to have found a buyer.

110 SunCrest Surplus

The potential development would be accessed from a new road off of SunCrest Drive. It does lie within the Traverse Ridge Special Service District (TRSSD) which would be in charge of maintenance costs if the road is public, and the developer would be in charge of any easements and future connections or subdivision needs. This parcel neighbors ~365 acres known as Alpine Joint Ventures that will also likely be developed.

 Our take: 

Since Draper City’s $5.3 million dollar purchase of nearly 2,400 acres at the end of 2012, almost 200 of those acres appear to be heading towards residential development. This parcel, along with Hidden Canyon Estates and Edelweiss, may have you wondering, “How will new construction impact my home’s value?” New development in any community presents more choices for buyers and sellers. Depending on the size, style, and lot size, new homes can bring new competition to existing SunCrest homes when it comes time to sell, but they will also bring a lot more people up the hill who are interested in buying in SunCrest new construction isn’t for everyone. Working with a team to help position yourself to stand out in a bigger (and newer) crowd, however, will become even more important for any SunCrest homeowner looking to sell.


Our SunCrest Market Update is a hyper-local analysis of the most up-to-date information regarding the SunCrest real estate market.  The previous month’s SunCrest housing information and future editions are released monthly.

Draper City approved a preliminary plat last year but due to geologic hazards on the north-west portion of the property, the applicant had made changes to to their plat. Most notably:

  • Eliminating the connection from Stoneleigh Heights Drive.
  • Eliminating townhomes from their subdivision.
  • Reconfiguration of the cottage and estate lots.

SunCrest Annual BBQ

SunCrest Annual BBQ Recap

Oh, SunCrest. We’re just in love with you. We still get butterflies in our stomach driving up the hill to see you. Heck, we want to grow old with you.

So after getting to spend an entire afternoon with so many of you at the annual SunCrest BBQ — the people who make these houses into a real home for us — you can imagine that we’re still positively glowing.

We’re often asked, “What are the people like in the SunCrest community?” Our response: “Welcoming, friendly, outgoing, and diverse. The best kind of people, really.” Meeting new neighbors and seeing friends at events like this are a reminder why we live in the greatest neighborhood in the state.

SunCrest Annual BBQ

We have to give a huge THANK YOU to the SunCrest OA for allowing us to sponsor the event again this year. And how about the food? Justin and his team were slinging BBQ sandwiches left and right. Based on the ticket count, nearly 500 meals were served in under 2 hours! Wow. Not only did Pittmaster handle the crowd efficiently, the food definitely hit the mark.

And Joe Friday Band? Our toes were tappin’ all night to the well played tunes of this fine trio. SunCrest Annual BBQ

There’s wasn’t a dull moment thanks to Custom Events. The high striker, bounce house, super slide, rock wall, and jousting was a hit with the kids (and adults!) all night.

Congratulations to Gina James who won our Snowbird weekend getaway raffle. Thanks to everyone who entered by dropping your ticket stub, liking us on Facebook, and following us on Instagram. It was fun to see social media posts with our event Snapchat filter, too. We enjoyed chatting with as many residents as we could and look forward to the next community gathering.

Need to stretch and grow even more? The unfinished basement is roughed in for a bedroom and family/rec room and rough plumbed for a fourth bathroom. Not that you’ll want (or need) to go outside, but this is SunCrest, so when you’re ready for blue skies, pop out to the oversized patio for views of Lone Peak.
