Upstairs, downstairs. Most homes make you choose between easy everyday living and room for a crowd. This one settles it by floor: one level for the way you live every day, and one for everything (and everyone) else. You'll find it in Garden Park, the 55+ village at the heart of Daybreak, where front porches line the streets and Oquirrh Lake sits just around the corner. Step inside and light carries through the open main floor, so the living room and kitchen feel like one connected space.
Pull a stool up to the island, where the coffee gets poured and the day's plans get made. A mudroom laundry sits right off the garage, so the groceries come in and the muddy shoes stay out. The primary suite lives on this floor too, with a huge walk-in shower that feels more spa than standard. Two more bedrooms round out the level, ready to become an office or a quiet place for guests. That's the upstairs.
Now for the downstairs. The stairs land you right in a massive family room with space for the sectional, the game table, and the big screen. A wet bar handles movie nights, and nobody runs upstairs for a refill. Two bedrooms and a full bath give guests their own wing, far enough away that nobody hears anybody snore.
Out back, an open patio sets up your evenings. Beyond it, Garden Park's clubhouse and fitness room, Daybreak's lakeside trails, and SoDa Row are all within easy reach. Upstairs, life is easy. Downstairs, there's room for everybody you like having around. Turns out you don't have to pick a floor.
Every house has a soundtrack. The good ones run a little loud: doors swinging open, conversations talking over each other, and a stampede down the stairs the second someone calls out that food's ready. This house has room for every bit of it. Right inside, the front room is staged around a piano, and the acoustics hold up their end of the deal. From there, the home opens into the family room, where the fireplace and a bank of windows split the job of keeping things warm and bright.
On a winter evening, it's the room everyone drifts toward. Just past the family room, the kitchen was built big, with counter space to lay out a full Sunday feast and room for everyone who refuses to leave the cook alone. The dining area sits right alongside, where the table gets louder with every chair that fills, and a slider opens to the back patio when dinner wants some fresh air.
Upstairs, the primary suite gives you a jetted tub for long soaks, a separate shower for short mornings, and two walk-in closets. Down the hall, two more bedrooms share a second full bath. Then there's the bonus room, a second family room that's happy to host movie night or sign on as another bedroom. Downstairs, a full bedroom is already finished, and the open space around it has room for another bathroom and a rec room big enough for the whole crowd on game night.
Head out the door and three parks sit within an easy walk, each off in its own direction, with SunCrest's trails and that clean mountain air beyond them. Then come home to the quietest part of the song: a cul-de-sac of about a dozen homes where the most action after dark is the porch lights coming on. Here, the music's already playing. Come pull up a chair.
Every neighborhood has those people: the ones who clear a driveway before anyone’s up, keep an eye on the house while you’re out of town, or show up with dinner when life gets busy. Pie It Forward is a chance to thank them.
You nominate a SunCrest neighbor and write a short note about why you’re grateful for them. Right before Thanksgiving, we deliver a pumpkin pie and your note to their door.
Your neighbor gets the pie, the note, and the mystery of who sent it. We never share your name with the person you nominate, so you can say exactly what you want to say. They’ll never know it was you, unless you tell them.
There’s no fine print, just a little old-fashioned gratitude. You bring the thank-you. We’ll bring the pie.
The views up here get plenty of attention, but the people are what make SunCrest feel like home. So who’s getting a pie this year?
One of the eight homes that closed in SunCrest in October sold at or above the price it first listed at.
The rest took some negotiating: half had a price cut along the way, and three came with a seller credit. The price in the middle, $692,200, landed within a few thousand dollars of where it sat a year ago.

That is October in SunCrest. The next report lands in the first week of December.

Information is subject to change at any time and without notice, and this is not an official SunCrest HOA communication. For official minutes or updates, please contact the HOA directly at 801-572-1233.
The board unanimously approved the 2027 budget with dues staying the same. Management reported the association is in strong financial shape, and the board plans to revisit dues after a new reserve study confirms the reserves are fully funded. The budget was first previewed in the September recap. A few highlights:
These were discussed as possibilities for the coming year. None are final, and several still need bids:
A homeowner asked about allowing artificial turf in front yards, which current rules limit to side and back yards, and requests can go through the online property application at suncrestoa.com. Another homeowner raised a question about recent electrical work near their home, and the board will follow up with them directly.
The board approved the September 2026 meeting minutes and September financials. Several LUDs (Limited Use Driveways) opted out of association snow removal this year, and the LUD budget is building its own reserve. A November HOA meeting may not be held because of Thanksgiving, so watch your email for updates.
No. Dues stay at current levels under the 2027 budget the board approved on October 28, 2026.
Current rules allow artificial turf in side and back yards only. Requests can be submitted through the online property application at suncrestoa.com for Design Review Committee review.
The parking lot is still being explored. The project is being rebid, and the board plans to share options with the community.
A November meeting may not be held because of Thanksgiving. Residents should watch their email for an announcement.

Ask anyone in SunCrest what they'd add to their house, and the answer is almost always the same: more view, and nobody in front of it. Step out onto the back deck of this SunCrest rambler and you'll find both. The lot backs to open space, so there's no back-fence neighbor in the frame. Lone Peak rises on one side, Box Elder holds the center, and Timpanogos anchors the far end. By evening, the valley below starts to glow. The home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on 0.41 acres, wrapped in six-figure landscaping, with a backyard waterfall that keeps the soundtrack going all day.
Inside, vaulted ceilings and spanning beams pull your eye up, and then the great room's tall windows pull it right back out to the peaks. A fireplace anchors the winter nights. In the kitchen, you'll have the gas range going while something finishes in each of the double wall ovens, and the granite countertops give everyone a place to lean in and steal a taste. The primary suite lives on the main floor, so you wake to the mountains before your feet hit the floor. You'll have a separate tub and shower and a walk-in closet with real room to spread out.
Two more bedrooms, a bath and a half, and one of the home's two laundry rooms round out the main level, so everyday living stays right where you spend your day. Below the main floor, this raised rambler gives you two full lower levels, with every window above grade. The first is where everyday life spreads out. Two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms give guests a floor of their own, and the family room opens onto a covered deck facing the same peaks. Tucked in the middle of the level, a multipurpose space works as a home office, a craft table, or a Saturday puzzle that takes all weekend. Add a workout room, and the workday and the morning routine both stay close to home.
The walkout level is built for big gatherings. You'll have a theater room for movie nights that run long, plus a wet bar right next to the game room for late-night rematches. All told, you get three separate entertaining spaces: two decks and a covered patio. Coffee happens on one, dinner on another, and the last hour of the night down by the waterfall. Each one points you at the same view, which is the whole idea. Up here, you're living in the mountain air, with SunCrest's hiking and biking trails right outside your door and the clubhouse and gym within easy reach.
Every year in Maple Hollow, the scrub oak turns rust, the maples go red, and the mountain air picks up the kind of snap that sends you looking for a sweatshirt without thinking about it. SunCrest does fall well, and this is where it starts.
Freshly painted, the main level keeps things simple and functional. The kitchen is built for soup season: stainless steel appliances, a gas range, granite counters, and canned lighting. It's also where Boo Berry, Count Chocula, and Franken Berry get their annual Saturday-morning comeback.
The kitchen opens straight into a dining space and a family room built around a custom stone fireplace, which is about to earn its keep. Slide the glass door open on a crisp evening and the backyard becomes part of the floor plan. Upstairs, four bedrooms and two full bathrooms give everyone room to spread out. The primary suite carries a separate tub and shower, double sinks, and a walk-in closet. Laundry lives up here too.
The basement is fully finished, adding a bedroom, a 3/4 bath, and a family room that works as another bedroom, a guest setup, or simply more square footage to grow into.
Outside, the fully fenced yard covers the essentials: a patio for the last warm dinners of the year, a vegetable garden for whoever is already planning next spring, a pergola for shade, and a rock retaining wall holding it all together.
Trails head out in every direction, the clubhouse and gym are a short drive away, and the basketball courts and city playgrounds keep the neighborhood moving long after the leaves drop. The hillside turns every year. This year, you get a fire in the fireplace and a front-row seat.

The preliminary 2027 budget balances with dues staying at current levels, which the board called the good news of the night given rising costs elsewhere. The final budget is expected to be approved at the October meeting, and homeowner feedback is still welcome. Items still being worked through:
The board approved a snow removal contractor for the season. The clubhouse closes starting September 24 for slate tile removal, as outlined in the August recap. Staff are working remotely and responding to email and voicemail, and the gym will reopen once it’s clean and safe.

🏡 UNOFFICIAL NEIGHBOR RECAP . Meeting date: August 26, 2026
Residents raised several items during open forum:
The clubhouse remodel is scheduled for September 24 through October 10, 2026 (subject to change). The work includes tearing out slate flooring, which will generate dust and require the clubhouse to close to the public for safety. The gym will reopen as soon as it’s accessible, and staff may work from home at times during the closure while continuing to respond to emails.
Eight homes currently share a single water meter and are billed equally regardless of individual usage. The board approved installing sub-meters for each home. A supplemental agreement will be created for the affected homeowners that runs with the home’s title and specifies that homeowners are responsible for replacing their own meter if it fails.
The entrance monument lights are currently out due to a wiring issue, raising safety concerns at night and in fog. The board approved repairs, with completion targeted before winter.
The board also adopted a new code of conduct in response to increasing incidents of staff intimidation at the pool and office. It applies to all SunCrest buildings and community social events and will be posted for residents. The board also plans to address expectations directly with lifeguard staff.
The board has begun preparing the 2027 budget, which is expected to be approved in October. Homeowner input is welcome on topics such as community events and expenses. Two items likely to shape the discussion:
The board also clarified that the HOA has no affiliation with The Ridge Restaurant, which is independently owned and currently for sale.
The board approved the July 26, 2026 meeting minutes and July financials. It also approved a quote to add a weed barrier and rock to an unmaintained park strip on the White Pettle LUD. Following the recent board election, positions were reorganized: President – Mel, Vice President – Brad, Treasurer – Nathan, Secretary – John, and Director – Chris.
The remodel is scheduled for September 24 through October 10, 2026, though the board noted this timeline is subject to change. The clubhouse will close to the public during dusty work such as slate removal.
The eight homes on a single shared water meter will get individual sub-meters, with a supplemental agreement running with each affected home’s title.
Yes. The board adopted a code of conduct covering all SunCrest buildings and community social events, prompted by increasing incidents of staff intimidation at the pool and office.
No. The Ridge Restaurant is independently owned, not affiliated with the HOA, and is currently for sale.
Eagle Crest earns its name honestly. The trailhead sits close enough to walk to before the sun's made it all the way across the kitchen floor, and the views stretch toward Utah Lake and Mount Timpanogos. Here, the air is cleaner, the sunrises don't need a filter, and you'll always have a front-row seat for the full moon. Inside, the kitchen and family room sit on the back of the house, with the dining space alongside, all angled toward those same views. A covered deck steps out from here, with stairs down to a fully fenced backyard, the same yard where one half of this household has spent years logging the season's snow totals for anyone counting inches.
Main-floor living continues with the primary suite, tucked into the back of the house with its own share of the view, a formal living room for something a little more polished, and a private office for whenever work follows you home. Upstairs, the layout flexes easily: a full bathroom, bedrooms, offices, a hobby room, whatever your household needs this year, where the same view climbs right along with you and finds a way to look even better doing it. One room up here has earned its own nickname, the Mountain Room, for a Timpanogos view good enough to land on a calendar and make its rounds through social media more than once.
Downstairs is built for whoever needs their own space under the same roof, extended family, long-term guests, or just more room than the rest of the house can hold. The finished walkout basement comes with its own full kitchen, three more bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a private walkout entrance that makes it feel like a second address hiding under the same one.
Living in SunCrest means trail access minutes from your door, plus a community clubhouse with a pool and gym, and a full calendar of concerts, barbecues, and holiday parties. It also means you're surrounded by neighbors who show up, sometimes with a weather update, an always-appreciated photo, or a little quiet moderating to keep unwanted posts off the community pages.
That's the SunCrest way: people here look out for each other. Eagle Crest earns its name, one neighbor and one view at a time.
