Investment Properties for Sale in Bluffdale, Utah
Bluffdale sits at the south end of Salt Lake County, sandwiched between Draper, Riverton, and the Utah County line, which puts it inside the Silicon Slopes commuter belt without the price tag of Lehi or Highland. That geography is the whole investment thesis here: tenants who work at Adobe, Ancestry, or the data centers along Mountain View Corridor want a newer home with a yard and a garage, and they're priced out of Draper proper. Median single-family prices generally run in the $650K to $850K range depending on neighborhood, with new construction in Independence at the Point pushing higher and older horse-property parcels west of Redwood Road occasionally trading lower per square foot.
For investors, the practical filters are basement-apartment potential, lot size for a future ADU, and whether the floor plan supports a roommate or house-hack model while rates stay elevated. Bluffdale's zoning still permits livestock on many west-side lots, which is rare this close to SLC and creates a niche tenant pool willing to pay a premium. Property taxes jump significantly on non-primary residences in Utah (the 45% residential exemption does not apply), so run your numbers with the full assessed rate. Browse the active listings below to see which Bluffdale properties currently pencil out as rentals, house-hacks, or longer-term appreciation plays.

Common questions
About investment properties in Bluffdale.
What kind of rental income can investors expect in Bluffdale? ▾
A standard 4-bed, 3-bath single-family home in Bluffdale typically rents for $2,600 to $3,400 per month depending on age, finishes, and proximity to Mountain View Corridor. Newer builds in Independence or Spring Ridge sit at the top of that range. Larger homes with finished basements often work well as separate upstairs/downstairs rentals, which can push gross rents higher.
Does Bluffdale allow short-term rentals like Airbnb? ▾
Bluffdale City restricts short-term rentals (under 30 days) in most residential zones, and operators need a city business license. Most investors here run long-term leases rather than nightly rentals. If a short-term strategy matters to you, verify the current ordinance with the city before writing an offer.
Are basement apartments and ADUs legal in Bluffdale? ▾
Utah's statewide internal ADU law applies, so owner-occupied internal accessory units are generally permitted in single-family zones with city registration. Detached ADUs are more restricted and depend on lot size and zoning. House-hacking a basement unit is one of the more common investor plays in this market.
What's the property tax situation for non-owner-occupied homes? ▾
Utah taxes non-primary residences at the full assessed value, while primary residences get a 45% exemption. That means a Bluffdale rental's annual tax bill is roughly 1.8x what an owner-occupant would pay on the same house. Build that into your cash flow math — it's the single biggest surprise for out-of-state investors.
Which Bluffdale neighborhoods make the most sense for buy-and-hold? ▾
Independence at the Point draws strong tenant demand because of new construction, parks, and easy Mountain View Corridor access to tech jobs in Lehi and Draper. Older horse-property pockets west of Redwood Road appreciate well but rent for less per dollar invested. Spring Ridge and the homes near Bluffdale Elementary tend to attract long-term family tenants.
How long do rentals typically sit vacant here? ▾
Well-priced Bluffdale rentals usually lease in 2-3 weeks during spring and summer, and 3-5 weeks in the winter months. Demand stays steady because of the Silicon Slopes commuter base and limited new rental supply south of Draper.
