It's that time of year again. The 2026 Utah Valley Parade of Homes is officially underway, and if you haven't made plans to attend, now is the time. Whether you're actively searching for your next home, gathering design inspiration, or simply love experiencing what Utah's finest builders have to offer, the Parade is one of the best events of the summer in Utah County.
Here's everything you need to know, plus a listing I think serious buyers will not want to miss while they're in the area.
What Is the Utah Valley Parade of Homes?
The Utah Valley Parade of Homes has been a Utah County tradition since 1975. Hosted by the Utah Valley Home Builders Association (UVHBA), the Parade is widely recognized as one of the best home builder showcases in the nation. Every year, dozens of Utah County's top builders, designers, architects, and craftspeople come together to present their finest work in a self-guided tour open to the public.
This year's Parade features 40 homes spread throughout Utah Valley, showcasing the newest trends in architecture, interior design, and luxury living. From mountain modern masterpieces to refined traditional estates, there's something to inspire every buyer.

What to Expect at This Year's Parade
The Parade homes are located throughout Utah County, with clusters in communities including Woodland Hills, Mapleton, Salem, Springville, and more. Expect sweeping mountain views, high-end custom finishes, innovative floor plans, and jaw-dropping outdoor spaces — the kind of details that remind you why building or buying in Utah Valley is such a special opportunity.
As you tour, pay attention to the things that will matter most to your daily life: kitchen flow and storage, natural light, bedroom separation, garage space, and how the home connects to its outdoor surroundings. Great design always starts with how a home actually lives.
Touring Woodland Hills? Add This Stop to Your List.
Several of this year's Parade homes are located in the Woodland Hills area, making it one of the most active neighborhoods during the event. If you find yourself driving through Summit Creek this week, I want to make sure you know about a listing that isn't in the Parade guide — but absolutely holds its own against any home on the official tour.
806 S Summit Creek Drive, Woodland Hills, UT 84653
This stunning custom home sits within the gated Summit Creek community, steps from multiple Parade homes, and offers something the brand-new builds simply can't: years of established luxury, mature surroundings, and panoramic Utah Valley views that have had time to become truly extraordinary.
Property highlights:
— 7 bedrooms
— 5 bathrooms
— 6,254 square feet
— Gated community in prestigious Summit Creek
— Sweeping mountain and valley views
— Exceptional outdoor living spaces

Unlike Parade homes, which are often model homes with builder pricing, construction timelines, and uncertain availability — 806 Summit Creek is move-in ready and available now. This is a rare opportunity to own an established custom home in one of Utah County's most sought-after communities, at a price point that represents real value in today's market.

Why Woodland Hills and Summit Creek?
For buyers who fell in love with the Parade homes in Woodland Hills, it's worth understanding what makes this community so special — and why properties here hold their value so well.
Summit Creek is a master-planned, gated community built along the foothills above Utah Valley. Homes here are custom-built on generous lots with an emphasis on views, privacy, and architectural quality. The community is minutes from the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway, outdoor recreation, and the amenities of Salem and Spanish Fork — while feeling worlds away from the busy valley floor.
If the Parade homes in Woodland Hills caught your eye, 806 Summit Creek Drive is the natural next step.
Ready to Make Your Move?
Whether you're attending the Parade for the first time or you're a returning buyer who knows exactly what you're looking for, I'd love to help you navigate today's Utah County market. From Parade-adjacent listings to off-market opportunities, I'm here to make sure you don't miss the home that's right for you.
