Mill Hollow is one of Cottonwood Heights’ most established and well-regarded neighborhoods, set in the city’s northeast corner just south of I-215. The neighborhood sits generally inside the area bounded by I-215 on the north, Fort Union Boulevard on the south, 3000 East on the east, and 2300 East on the west — these landmarks frame the broader area rather than mark the exact subdivision lines. Notable streets inside the community include Hollow Mill Drive, Sundown Avenue, Palma Way, and Stone Mill Drive. Most homes were built in the early 1990s and feature traditional two-story and rambler architectural styles — the kind of substantial Cottonwood Heights family homes that anchored the city’s reputation through the 1990s and 2000s. Streetscapes are mature, with large trees, well-maintained yards, and a quiet residential feel that contrasts with the busier commercial corridors a few minutes away.
Homes in Mill Hollow range from approximately 3,000 to 5,500 finished square feet, sitting on lots between 0.18 and 0.40 acres. Floor plans typically feature 4–6 bedrooms, 3–5 bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, large primary suites, finished basements with second family rooms and wet bars, and oversized 2- or 3-car garages. While Mill Hollow itself is not an HOA neighborhood — meaning broad architectural and yard-use flexibility — several smaller HOA-managed subdivisions are nested within its boundaries. If you’re considering a specific street, always verify HOA status, dues, and CC&R restrictions with the listing agent during your offer contingency.
Mill Hollow homes typically sell in the $950,000 to $1,800,000 range, with the upper end commanded by extensively remodeled properties, view homes, and larger lots backing to mature greenspace.

Mill Hollow is served by the Canyons School District with three of Cottonwood Heights’ top-rated public schools: Butler Elementary (a French Dual Language Immersion school), Butler Middle School (ranked #4 in Utah and the only middle school inside Cottonwood Heights city limits), and Brighton High School (rebuilt in 2022). The prestigious Waterford School (private PK–12) is a nearby alternative. Mill Hollow itself contains two community parks — Berry Hill Park and Mill Hollow Park at 2900 E Hollow Mill Drive, with a playground, walking path, tennis court, pavilion, and restrooms. Old Mill Park is just minutes away.
What makes Mill Hollow particularly attractive is its balance of established quiet and convenient access. Residents are minutes from the Old Mill Golf Course for golf and the public restaurant, just five to ten minutes from the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon for Solitude and Brighton skiing, and right around the corner from Market Street Grill at Cottonwood and the Fort Union dining and shopping corridor. I-215 access is at the neighborhood’s northern edge, putting downtown Salt Lake City within 20–25 minutes and the airport within 25–30 minutes. For families who want established homes, top-rated schools, and the closest residential ski access on the Wasatch Front — without paying gated-community premiums — Mill Hollow consistently delivers.
