Where Olympus Cove is
Olympus Cove, also called Mount Olympus, is a neighborhood on the northwestern slopes of Mount Olympus, east of I-215, at roughly 5,100 feet. It was counted as its own census-designated place until 2010 and has been part of the city of Millcreek since Millcreek incorporated in 2016. Many homes still carry a Salt Lake City mailing address, with 84109 and 84124 ZIP codes.

Homes in Olympus Cove
Many homes date from the 1950s through the 1970s: ramblers and split-levels on generous lots, a lot of them fully remodeled. Higher on the hill you’ll also find newer custom homes with big glass fronts aimed at the valley. Two houses a block apart can differ by hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the view, the lot’s size and slope, and how much has been updated, which is why a home-specific pricing analysis beats an online estimate here.

What to know about Olympus Cove
- Views change value street by street. A clear valley or mountain view, and how private the lot is, often matter more than square footage.
- Older homes, so inspections matter. With many homes 50 or more years old, roof, sewer line and electrical findings often shape the negotiation.
- Schools. Granite School District. Oakridge Elementary (4325 Jupiter Dr), Churchill Junior High (3450 E Oakview Dr) and Skyline High (3251 E 3760 S) serve much of Olympus Cove; confirm boundaries for a specific address with the district.
- It’s Millcreek. Even with a Salt Lake City mailing address, property taxes, permits and city services come from Millcreek.
Common questions about Olympus Cove
Is Olympus Cove part of Salt Lake City?
No. It is in Millcreek, which became a city in 2016, although many addresses still use a Salt Lake City mailing address.
How is Olympus Cove different from Holladay?
Holladay is its own city to the south and west, centered on Holladay Village. Olympus Cove sits higher on the bench in Millcreek, with more hillside view lots and trailheads within walking distance. Gian’s Holladay & Olympus Cove guide covers both.
