Investment Properties for Sale in Bountiful, Utah
Bountiful sits just north of Salt Lake City along the I-15 corridor, with the Wasatch Front rising directly behind town and the Great Salt Lake flats stretching west. For investors, the appeal is straightforward: a stable, family-oriented suburb with strong Davis School District boundaries, 15 minutes to downtown SLC, 20 minutes to the airport, and rental demand driven by commuters who want a quieter neighborhood without paying Sugar House or Holladay prices. Median home values typically run in the $500,000 to $650,000 range, with older brick ranchers on the bench and newer builds on the west side near Legacy Parkway. Tenant quality tends to be high, vacancy periods short, and turnover lower than in transient markets further south.
The investment angle in Bountiful usually breaks into three plays: single-family rentals targeting professional commuters, basement-apartment duplex conversions in the older east-bench homes (where many properties were built with separate entrances and second kitchens), and longer-hold appreciation bets on lots with redevelopment potential. Cash flow is tighter than in Ogden or western Davis County, but appreciation has consistently outpaced the state average, and the suburb's built-out geography between the mountains and the lake limits new supply. Property tax treatment for non-primary residences is something to model carefully — Utah's 45% primary-residence exemption does not apply. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market, and reach out if you want rent comps or ADU-permit history pulled on a specific address.

Common questions
About investment properties in Bountiful.
What kind of rental yields do Bountiful investment properties produce? ▾
Single-family rentals in Bountiful typically run 0.4% to 0.55% monthly rent-to-price, which is lower than markets like Ogden or West Valley but offset by stronger appreciation and lower tenant turnover. A $550,000 home generally rents in the $2,400 to $2,900 range depending on bedroom count, condition, and proximity to I-15. Basement apartments and ADUs push the blended yield higher when they're legally permitted.
Are basement apartments legal to rent in Bountiful? ▾
Bountiful City allows accessory dwelling units under specific zoning and licensing rules, including owner-occupancy requirements in some zones, separate egress, and a business license. Many older homes east of Main Street have existing basement units, but not all are legally registered. Always verify the rental license status with Bountiful City before assuming income will transfer to a new owner.
Which Bountiful neighborhoods work best for long-term rentals? ▾
Areas near 500 South and 400 East draw young professionals commuting to Salt Lake, while the bench neighborhoods above Orchard Drive attract families willing to pay for Bountiful and Viewmont High boundaries. West Bountiful and the flats near Legacy Parkway tend to offer lower entry prices and faster cash flow, while east-bench homes lean toward appreciation plays.
Does Bountiful allow short-term rentals like Airbnb? ▾
Bountiful City heavily restricts short-term rentals under 30 days in most residential zones, and enforcement has tightened in recent years. Investors counting on nightly rental income should look at Park City, Midway, or St. George instead. Mid-term furnished rentals (30+ days) targeting traveling nurses at nearby hospitals are a more realistic strategy here.
What's the property tax situation for non-owner-occupied homes? ▾
Utah taxes non-primary residences at the full assessed rate, while owner-occupied homes get a 45% exemption. That means an investment property in Bountiful pays roughly 1.8x the property tax of an identical owner-occupied home next door. Factor this into your pro forma — it's one of the bigger surprises for out-of-state investors used to flatter tax structures.
How many investment-grade listings are typically active in Bountiful? ▾
Bountiful is a small market of about 45,000 residents, so active inventory aimed at investors usually sits between 10 and 30 homes at any given time, depending on the season. Duplex and small multi-family listings are rare — most months show fewer than five. The listings below reflect current MLS activity matching investor criteria.
