City	Saratoga Springs
Total area	687.9 acres
Residential and civic	431.9 acres
Community commercial and civic	8.1 acres
Open space	246 acres (35.8%), including a 201-acre community park
Total units	2,400, about 3.5 per acre
Builder marketing villages	Edge Homes (Highridge, Ridgehorne)

From the Mt. Saratoga Amended Community Plan approved March 2024, published by Saratoga Springs, and Edge Homes' pages, read November 1, 2026.

The plan

The community plan describes the open space as "the focal and connecting feature of the development," with a park that has a 360-degree view of Utah Lake and the surrounding mountains. Of the 246 acres of open space, it lists 150.7 acres as native open space, 41.8 acres as improved open space, 16.2 acres within multi-family areas and 37.4 acres in storm basins and sensitive lands.

The housing is a mix. The plan describes single-family areas; flex residential neighborhoods that combine single-family homes with two- and three-family homes, with at least half single-family; and some multi-family areas placed near amenities and main roads. The city has approved village plans in stages, including Village Plan 3 (Highridge) in 2021 and Village Plan 4 (Overlook) in 2025.

What's selling

Highridge (974 N. Olson Drive) is Edge Homes' main village here, with single-family homes, townhomes and condos "with amphitheater views," listed from the $520s on November 1, 2026. Edge lists a clubhouse with a gym, a pool, a six-court pickleball island, trails, playgrounds, a basketball court and a planned city park.

Ridgehorne is another Edge village in Mt. Saratoga, with future parks, trails and open space.

The empty land next door: what's zoned or approved around your lot. The city's planning department can tell you.
The school boundary for your address, confirmed with the district, since boundaries move as new schools open.
