Traverse Mountain
About the area
Traverse Mountain is Utah County's most prominent "live-above-work" tech community—a master-planned neighborhood perched on Lehi's northeastern bench directly above the Silicon Slopes corridor, with sweeping views across both Utah Valley and Salt Lake Valley. Master-planned buildout began in the early 2000s as Silicon Slopes employment demand escalated, and the community has matured around major anchors: Ancestry.com relocated its headquarters to The Corporate Center at Traverse Mountain in 2016, and the Outlets at Traverse Mountain on SR-92 became a regional retail destination with 80-plus stores. Housing spans the full new-construction spectrum, from starter townhomes and production single-family homes at $500,000 to $900,000, to Toll Brothers Canyon Point Summit Collection luxury custom homes at $1 million and above on the upper bench.

Getting Around
Traverse Mountain's position at the Point of the Mountain gives it dual-valley freeway access. Silicon Slopes campuses in Lehi—Adobe, Microsoft, Oracle, and others—are 5 to 10 minutes down the hill. Draper and South Jordan employers are 15 to 25 minutes north on I-15. Downtown Salt Lake City and the airport are about 30 to 35 minutes north. Provo is roughly 25 to 30 minutes south.

Silicon Slopes Bench: Master-Planned Living Above the Valley
No Utah County residential address puts you closer to the Silicon Slopes tech core while keeping you above the valley-floor congestion. Traverse Mountain's upper bench reaches 5,200 feet, giving many homes sightlines across both Salt Lake Valley and Utah Valley simultaneously—a rare geographic position. Ancestry.com has anchored The Corporate Center at Traverse Mountain since 2016, establishing the community as a tech-campus address rather than a purely residential suburb. Point of the Mountain hang gliding and paragliding—one of the premier free-flight sites in the western United States—is accessible from the upper-bench streets.
