Stories to tell
Four Firefly families, on camera.
“As a millennial, I want my son to grow up the way I did. I want him to experience coming home when the streetlights turn on.”The Bowen family
“We love everything about this community, everything that it stands for, just the bringing families back together, getting people off screens, getting people outside.”
“I think 100% the key factor in us coming out here is that we wanted the lifestyle for our kids that we grew up with.”The Parker family
“When they planned this community, before they started selling homes, they already put in the pump track, the skate park, the pickleball courts, the basketball courts.”
“Firefly's mission was exactly aligned with our family's values.”The Garner family
“It's like almost traveling back in time a little, where it's that sense, real sense of community, fun, friendship. It's amazing.”
“I just love where we live. I love our house, but I love our neighbors and I love what we have.”The Dee family
“They don't look cookie cutter. I mean, they're production homes, but they give them individual looks on the front.”
“Kids are out on the streets all the time playing and my kids just run out and join them and, you know, come home when the streetlights come on.”The Howell family
“They made the townhomes just as nice as the homes with just as many big, beautiful windows.”
“For a little while we were in a condo and they just were kind of cooped up watching lots of TV. And then once we got here, now our kids have really made that shift.”The Steppen family
“Everyone's proud to be here. Everyone wants to make this community a great place.”
“When we have skate parks all over the valley, they wanted to drive all the way to Firefly.”The Guernsey family
“Not once have we been like, don't get on the TV. It just doesn't turn on. There's no reason to turn it on.”
In our homeowners’ words
The real proof.
Awards are nice. But the families who chose Candlelight — and would do it again — tell the story better than any trophy.
“It’s really nice to be part of a new, exciting community that’s trying to promote families and kids spending time with each other outdoors playing and having fun.”
The Garners · Eagle Mountain
“I cannot say enough great things about what this community actually is. We want our son to have an upbringing like we had, where kids run out into the neighborhood to play and make friends, and you don't have to worry about anything.”
The Bowens · Eagle Mountain
“What I love most is the neighbors coming by as they're on walks or out with their kids playing and we get to stop and say hi and get to know them better. There's a natural flow to building the community with everyone.”
The Dees · Eagle Mountain
“It has absolutely changed our life. We love being outside with our family making all these awesome memories and just watching them grow up with the kind of childhood that we want them to have.”
The Parkers · Eagle Mountain
“Their Firefly community is INCREDIBLE! The people who live there, the amenities that are already available with more to come, the sunsets, the home prices, everything is top notch! I love living here and I’m excited to watch it continue to grow!”
