Homes in the Butler Middle boundary

That range means the housing options are broad, from townhomes and mid-century starter homes to larger custom houses with mountain views.

It rates well, tests above the state average, and feeds one of the area’s stronger high schools in Brighton. The catch is the same one that applies across Canyons District: attendance lines here have moved as enrollment shifts, and the 2025 boundary study proposed further changes, so a single street can separate two different schools.
