Homes Under $500,000 in Bluffdale, Utah
Bluffdale sits at the south end of Salt Lake County where the valley starts to open up toward Utah County, and that geography still shapes what $500K buys here. You're looking mostly at townhomes and attached product in newer pockets like Highland Estates and the developments off Redwood Road, plus the occasional older rambler on a larger lot closer to the historic Bluffdale core near 14600 South. Detached single-family homes under $500K have gotten scarce as the city has filled in with master-planned communities, so a good share of what shows up in this range is a townhome or a condo with two or three bedrooms.
What still pulls buyers to Bluffdale at this price point is the commute math — Point of the Mountain access to I-15 puts you within range of both Salt Lake and Utah County job centers, including the tech corridor growing around Silicon Slopes, without paying Draper or Lehi prices. Camp Williams borders the city to the west, which keeps a buffer of open land and quiet on that side of town, and the Jordan River Parkway trail runs right through for anyone who wants river-adjacent walking or biking without a river-adjacent price tag. Schools feed into Jordan School District. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market under $500K.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Bluffdale.
What kind of home can I actually get in Bluffdale under $500K? ▾
Realistically, the sub-$500K segment in Bluffdale is mostly townhomes, smaller twin homes, and the occasional older single-family rambler on a modest lot. New construction detached homes in Bluffdale typically start in the upper $500s and climb quickly, so the under-$500K bucket leans toward attached product in communities like Independence, Day Ranch, or the townhome pockets near Porter Rockwell Boulevard.
How many homes under $500K are usually active in Bluffdale? ▾
It's a thin slice of the market. Bluffdale only has around 6,000 households total, and most resale inventory sits above $600K, so on any given week you might see anywhere from a handful to about 15 active listings under $500K. The list below pulls live MLS data, so the count updates as homes hit and leave the market.
Are HOA fees common at this price point? ▾
Yes — most homes under $500K in Bluffdale are in HOA communities because the price band is dominated by townhomes and PUD-style developments. Fees typically run $90 to $250 per month and often cover front-yard landscaping, exterior maintenance, and sometimes a community pool or clubhouse. Always check the HOA docs for rental caps if you're buying as an investment.
What school district serves Bluffdale, and does it change under $500K? ▾
Bluffdale falls under Jordan School District, with schools like Bluffdale Elementary, Hidden Valley Middle, and Riverton High serving most of the city. The district assignment doesn't change based on price — a $450K townhome and a $1.2M custom home can feed the same schools, which is one reason the lower price band moves quickly with families.
How's the commute from Bluffdale to Salt Lake or Lehi tech jobs? ▾
Bluffdale sits right at the Salt Lake/Utah County line, which is the main draw for buyers in this price range. Silicon Slopes employers in Lehi are roughly 10-15 minutes south on I-15, and downtown Salt Lake runs about 25-30 minutes north outside of rush hour. The Porter Rockwell Boulevard extension and FrontRunner station in Draper have made the commute considerably easier.
Is it worth waiting for prices to drop, or should I buy now? ▾
Bluffdale's under-$500K inventory has been the first to move whenever rates dip, simply because it's the entry point for a city where the median sale price sits well above that. If you find a layout and location that work, the bigger risk has historically been getting priced out of the city entirely rather than overpaying at this tier.
