South Jordanelle offers a diverse selection of real estate, from condominiums to newer single-family homes and townhomes, making it an appealing choice for buyers at various price points. With its setting on the hillsides above the Jordanelle Reservoir, the area is as much a lifestyle choice as a place to live, one built around easy access to both water and winter sports.

Fox Bay offers condominiums with a pool, hot tub, fitness center, clubhouse, and pickleball court, just a short drive from the Jordanelle Express Gondola. Jordanelle Ridge, at the north end of the Heber Valley, includes about 201 homes, a mix of single-family homes and triplex townhomes with views of Mount Timpanogos and the valley below. Many homes across the area feature wide decks for the views and garages big enough for skis and paddle gear.
Because the housing spans such a range and the area continues to grow, the right choice tends to come down to property type, setting, and how a home relates to the reservoir and the surrounding views. Those distinctions are exactly what’s worth walking through property by property.
