Homes Under $500,000 in Bountiful, Utah
Bountiful sits just north of Salt Lake City in Davis County, tucked against the Wasatch foothills with Mueller Park Canyon at its back door. Under $500K, the market here is mostly mid-century ramblers, split-entries, and the occasional updated townhome — the kind of solid, mid-sized homes that have anchored this community since the 1960s. Buyers in this range are usually choosing between a 1,600-square-foot rambler with original kitchens on a quarter-acre lot west of the freeway, or a newer 3-bed townhome closer to Woods Cross and the FrontRunner station. Inventory under $500K moves faster than the city average, particularly in spring, because Bountiful pulls in commuters who want quick access to downtown Salt Lake (about 12 minutes south on I-15) without paying Sugar House or Avenues prices.
The trade-offs at this price are real and worth understanding. East-bench view lots almost always price above $500K, so most sub-$500K options are on the flatter west side or in older interior blocks. Many homes will need cosmetic updates, and some need furnaces, roofs, or sewer laterals — Bountiful housing stock skews older. On the upside, lot sizes tend to be generous, property taxes through Davis County run lower than Salt Lake County, and South Davis schools (Bountiful High, Viewmont High, Mueller Park Junior High) hold steady reputations.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Bountiful.
What kind of home can I actually get in Bountiful under $500K? ▾
Most homes in this range are 1950s–1970s ramblers and split-levels between 1,400 and 2,200 finished square feet, typically with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Condos and townhomes in the West Bountiful corridor also fall under $500K, often with newer finishes. True single-family homes east of the freeway are tighter inventory at this price and tend to need updates.
Which Bountiful neighborhoods are most likely to have sub-$500K listings? ▾
West Bountiful and the flatter west-side blocks off 500 West and 800 West see the most activity under $500K. The benches above 1300 East — Bountiful's view properties — almost always price above this threshold. Older sections near Mueller Park Junior High and South Davis Junior High also produce options in this range.
How competitive is this price point in Bountiful right now? ▾
Anything clean, move-in ready, and under $475K typically draws multiple offers within the first week. Fixer ramblers sit a bit longer and are where buyers willing to do paint, flooring, and kitchen work find the best value. Having financing fully underwritten before you tour is worth doing here.
Are property taxes and HOA fees a factor under $500K? ▾
Bountiful sits in Davis County, where property tax rates run around 0.55–0.65% of assessed value — lower than Salt Lake County. Most single-family homes have no HOA. Townhome and condo projects along 500 South and in West Bountiful carry monthly dues, usually $150–$275.
What's the commute like from a Bountiful home in this range? ▾
Downtown Salt Lake City is 12–15 minutes via I-15 or Beck Street outside of rush hour, and the Woods Cross FrontRunner station gives a one-seat train ride to Salt Lake Central and Ogden. SLC International Airport is about 15 minutes. Commuters to the U of U or Research Park usually take Legacy Parkway to I-215.
Should I worry about older homes needing major systems work? ▾
Many Bountiful homes under $500K were built between 1955 and 1980, so it's worth budgeting for furnaces, water heaters, sewer laterals, and original electrical panels. A sewer scope is money well spent — clay laterals to the main are common in the older blocks. Foundations are generally solid; the bench soils drain well.
