While Summit Creek is renowned for offering luxury real estate, this is but one component of a full life amidst the mountains.

 

 

Healthier & Longer Life

An enlightening recent study found that living in a mountain town at higher altitudes, where oxygen levels are lower, induces physiological changes in the body that may actually lead to better heart health, lower risk of heart disease, and overall increased life expectancy. Another supports the claim that higher altitudes are linked to weight loss. It’s plain to see, Utah mountain homes simply go hand-in-hand with a healthier, more active lifestyles and, ultimately, a higher quality of life.
