Lehi

Lehi is one of the fastest-growing cities in Utah, with a population that's climbed from about 75,900 in 2020 to roughly 95,300 today — a jump of over 25% in just a few years. Much of that growth is fueled by the tech companies that have moved into the area, plus easy I-15 access and new master-planned communities like Traverse Mountain.

Homes in Lehi sold for a median price of about $590,000 in August 2026, down a bit from a year earlier according to Redfin. Well-priced homes still move — the typical home sold in about 40 days, and roughly 1 in 5 sold above asking — so buyers have a little more room to negotiate while sellers who price it right can still expect strong interest.

Traverse Mountain is one of Lehi's most sought-after communities, known for mountain views and newer construction. Holbrook Farms offers a more established, family-friendly feel, while Historic Main Street has classic homes with small-town charm near Lehi's original townsite.

Lehi is served by the Alpine School District (becoming the new Aspen Peaks School District in 2027-28), with two high schools — Lehi High and Skyridge High — three middle schools (Lehi Junior High, Viewpoint Middle and Willowcreek Middle), and twelve elementary schools including Traverse Mountain, North Point, Snow Springs, Eaglecrest and Sego Lily. Lehi also has six charter schools, including Renaissance Academy.

Lehi sits at the heart of Utah's "Silicon Slopes" tech corridor, home to major employers like Adobe, Microsoft, Ancestry.com, Oracle, and DigiCert. That concentration of tech jobs is a big reason so many professionals are choosing to put down roots here.

Thanksgiving Point is Lehi's biggest draw, pulling in over 1.4 million visitors a year with its gardens, museums, and the Hutchings Museum of Natural History. The city also has more than 250 acres of parks and 10 miles of trails, plus spots like Ivory Ridge Park and the Lehi Skatepark.

Lehi has strong connections for commuters, with five exits along I-15 and a FrontRunner commuter rail station near Thanksgiving Point running south to Provo and north to Salt Lake City.

Lehi was first settled in 1850 and officially incorporated in 1852, making it the sixth city incorporated in Utah. Its Main Street Historic District still reflects that heritage, and landmarks like the Lehi Roller Mills — which appeared in the 1984 movie Footloose — are a reminder of the city's roots even as it's become a modern tech hub.
