Single Story Homes for Sale in Bluffdale, Utah
Bluffdale sits at the southern edge of Salt Lake County where the valley narrows toward Point of the Mountain, and single-story living has a real practical appeal here. The terrain rolls — bluffs above the Jordan River on the west side, benches climbing toward Camp Williams on the east — so a rambler lets you skip interior stairs while still capturing Wasatch or Oquirrh views from the main living level. Buyers gravitating toward one-level floor plans in Bluffdale tend to fall into two camps: empty-nesters coming out of larger two-stories in Sandy, Draper, or Herriman, and younger families who want aging-in-place flexibility plus a finished basement for kids or extended family.
Inventory skews newer in neighborhoods like Independence at the Point and the Day Ranch area, with custom ramblers showing up on the larger lots near 14600 South and around the older agricultural parcels off Redwood Road. Expect three-car garages, RV parking, and main-floor primary suites to be standard at the higher price points. Commute access is a quiet selling point — I-15, Bangerter Highway, and the Mountain View Corridor all converge nearby, putting Silicon Slopes about 15 minutes south and the SLC airport roughly 25 minutes north. Bluffdale also still allows horses on certain zoned lots, which occasionally pairs with rambler builds on an acre or more.

Common questions
About single story homes in Bluffdale.
Why are single-story homes more expensive per square foot in Bluffdale? ▾
A rambler spreads the same square footage across a larger foundation and roof than a two-story, which raises hard construction costs. Bluffdale also has larger average lot sizes than neighboring Draper or Riverton, so the land component pushes prices up further. Expect a 10-15% per-square-foot premium versus a comparable two-story in the same subdivision.
Which Bluffdale neighborhoods have the most single-story inventory? ▾
Independence at the Point near the prison redevelopment area has a growing share of new-build ramblers, and Day Ranch off Porter Rockwell has several single-level floor plans. For older ramblers on larger lots, look along 14600 South, Noell Nelson Drive, and the pockets west of Redwood Road where half-acre and acre parcels are common.
Are most single-story homes here true ramblers or do they have basements? ▾
The majority have full basements, often unfinished at purchase, which effectively doubles the usable square footage. True slab-on-grade single-stories are rarer in Bluffdale because the soil and frost depth make basements economical to build. If main-level-only living is the goal, confirm the primary suite, laundry, and a full bath are all on the entry level.
How does the commute work from a Bluffdale rambler to Silicon Slopes or downtown SLC? ▾
Bluffdale sits right at the Point of the Mountain, so Lehi tech campuses are 10-15 minutes south on I-15 outside of rush hour. Downtown Salt Lake is about 25 minutes north, and the FrontRunner station in Draper is a short drive for train commuters. The Mountain View Corridor on the west side gives a second north-south option that bypasses I-15 traffic.
Can I find a single-story home in Bluffdale with land for horses? ▾
Yes — Bluffdale has retained more agricultural and equestrian zoning than most south valley cities. Look at properties along 14400 South, Camp Williams Road, and the western edge of the city where lots of one to five acres with barns and arenas come up several times a year. Verify the specific zoning and water shares before writing an offer.
Is new-construction rambler inventory still being released in Bluffdale? ▾
Several builders are still releasing single-level plans in the master-planned communities around the old prison site and along Porter Rockwell. Inventory shifts month to month, and many of the better single-story lots get reserved before they hit the MLS. Working with an agent who tracks builder release schedules is the practical way to catch them early.
