This exclusive community is known for its large, custom-built homes on expansive lots, providing privacy and a serene mountain atmosphere. It sits above the main city grid, granting residents a sense of seclusion while remaining part of the city of Sandy.

The neighborhood exudes an upscale, quiet, and family-friendly character with a strong emphasis on privacy and natural surroundings. Residents enjoy a peaceful, low-traffic environment with a close-knit community feel, often centered around the private McLaines Mountain Park. The lifestyle is oriented towards outdoor living, taking full advantage of the immediate access to foothill trails and the stunning mountain backdrop.

Properties are situated on lots that often exceed one acre, with many offering walk-out basements and decks designed to maximize the impressive valley views. The architectural styles are varied but consistently upscale, ranging from sprawling mountain lodges to contemporary estates.
Getting Around
Access to McLaines Mountain is via a dedicated, winding road off Little Cottonwood Road (Highway 209), which climbs into the foothills. While the neighborhood itself is not designed for through traffic, it provides quick access to I-215 and I-15 via Little Cottonwood Road, making commutes to Salt Lake City, the Cottonwood Canyons, and the tech corridor in Lehi feasible. Residents are largely dependent on personal vehicles for daily transportation.
Dining & Shopping
For daily conveniences and dining, residents typically drive a short distance down the mountain to the retail hubs along Little Cottonwood Road and the Sandy Promenade area. This includes access to major grocers like Smith's, a variety of restaurants, and the Shops at South Town shopping center. The nearby suburb of Draper also offers additional shopping and dining options just a few minutes to the south.
Parks & Recreation
The neighborhood's centerpiece is the private McLaines Mountain Park, a community-maintained space with a playground and open areas.
