Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Firefly Community in Eagle Mountain?

The Firefly Community in Utah is the only new home community where kids explore instead of scroll, and where they willingly put down their devices for a life of adventure and outdoor fun.  Firefly is a 2,780-acre master-planned community in Eagle Mountain with more than 8,000 homes and townhomes planned and over 350 acres of parks, trails, and open space. If you’re looking at new homes in Eagle Mountain, Utah, this is where your family’s next chapter begins.

What makes Firefly a unique family-friendly community?

In addition to the entire community designed for outdoor adventure and connection, Firefly is the only new home community in the region with a full-time Activities Director. This amazing person is planning activities for all ages, every week, so your kids get to know their neighbors instead of staring at their screens. Your kids can show up and jump in on their own, or your whole family can join together. It’s the easiest way for new neighbors to meet, and it’s a big part of what makes this a true family-friendly new home community instead of just another subdivision, where neighbors disappear into their garages without so much as a wave hello.

Where is Firefly?

You’ll find Firefly, the best new home community in Utah, just 40 miles south of Salt Lake City and 30 miles north of Provo, just off SR-73. You get all the space and quiet of Eagle Mountain without giving up your seat at the table in Silicon Slopes. Commute times vary depending on which part of the tech corridor you’re headed to and what time you leave, but it’s an easy commute to the Lehi tech hub using SR-73 to Redwood Road or the Mountain View Corridor extension to reach employers like Adobe, Texas Instruments, Podium, and Ancestry. So while you’re building your career in one of Utah’s fastest-growing tech corridors, you can still come home to enjoy all the amenities and a full-time Activities Director instead of a boring cul-de-sac with nothing to do. Life is better when you live where you play.

Since Firefly is a new master-planned community, do they have any amenities yet?

The team behind Firefly is made up of parents, just like you, and they didn’t want the early homeowners to have to wait for the good stuff, so they built over $9 Million in amenities before they ever built the first home for sale. From the moment you move in, you can enjoy the skate park, bike pump track, basketball courts, lighted pickleball courts, downhill mountain bike trails, sports fields, parks, and miles of trails.

What future amenities are coming to Firefly?

Firefly has so many amenities to enjoy today, but there’s even more on the way, including an indoor community center, splash pad, amphitheater, campground with archery and axe throwing, disc golf course, multi-sports complex, an underpass climbing wall, and so much more, all connected by trails for easy access.

Which Utah homebuilders are building at Firefly?

Because of their unmatched dedication to quality and customer service, Candlelight Homes was the first Utah homebuilder selected to build new construction homes and townhomes in the Firefly master-planned community. Over the years, Candlelight Homes has won countless awards, and has earned recognition on the Inc. 5000, the Builder Top 200, and the Fast 50.  Dedicated to being the finest homebuilder in the Firefly Community, they have created five beautiful model homes that you can tour today to see what your finished home could look like.

What is Candlelight Homes?

You have many choices when it comes to new home builders in Utah, but Candlelight Homes is the only builder in Eagle Mountain with a 95% satisfaction rate.  All new homes and townhomes have standard features that are often upgrades with other builders like: 9’ ceilings, 42” uppers in the kitchen, quartz countertops, framed mirrors, smart home features, tech drawers, and more windows to allow natural light into the home than any other production home builder at this price point. This provides you a custom-build feel without the custom-build price. Because families don’t want to live in a cookie-cutter community, Candlelight Homes builds beautiful, unique homes that look and live better. It’s that dedication to excellence that earned Candlelight Homes three consecutive Judges’ Choice Awards at the Utah Valley Parade of Homes, plus the prestigious Gold Nugget Award for “Excellence in Design”, “Best Single Family Detached Home”, and the “Home of the Year”.

Is Firefly Ranch the same as Firefly?

Not quite. Firefly Ranch sits just across the street from Firefly and offers a different lifestyle built around one-acre-plus lots, giving you room for the wide-open spaces your family has been dreaming about. Choose a Ranch Lot for your chickens, livestock, and horses, and connect to the community’s bridle path, which leads directly to BLM open space for miles of horseback riding trails. Choose a Lifestyle Lot to design an outdoor space that simply isn’t possible in traditional neighborhoods and create your backyard oasis with a swimming pool, tennis court, or dream garden. The best part is that no matter which lot you choose, you will still be a part of the Firefly Community. This guarantees you access to all the amenities in the Firefly Community and weekly activities led by the region’s only full-time Activities Director.

Why should I consider building a home with Candlelight Homes at Firefly instead of buying an existing home?

When you buy an existing home, you inherit someone else’s decisions, someone else’s style, in an older home that will require upgrades and repairs. When you buy a new construction home by Candlelight Homes in Eagle Mountain, Utah, you get a home built to today’s standards, personalized with your style, backed by a builder dedicated to customer satisfaction, inside a community engineered around your family’s wellbeing instead of just square footage. You’re not just buying a house. You’re buying back time with your kids before it’s gone.
