Homes Under $500,000 in Centerville, Utah
Centerville sits in a tight strip of Davis County between the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake, and it's long been one of the more affordable cities along that stretch of I-15 between Salt Lake City and Ogden. Homes under $500K here are getting harder to find as the city's older ramblers and split-entries from the 1960s-80s get bought up and remodeled, but they still show up — mostly in the neighborhoods east of Main Street toward 400 East, and in the townhome and condo developments near Parrish Lane and 400 North. A commuter can be at the Salt Lake City airport in about 25 minutes or downtown in 20, which keeps demand steady from buyers priced out of Bountiful and Farmington.
At this price point in Centerville you're generally looking at townhomes, condos, or smaller single-family homes in the 1,000-1,800 square foot range, often needing some cosmetic updating. Detached homes with a yard under $500K are the exception rather than the rule now, so buyers who want that need to move quickly and stay flexible on finish quality. Davis School District serves the area, and the city's small-town feel — with the Legacy Trail for walking and biking, and quick access to Bountiful's shopping — remains a draw even as prices climb.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Centerville.
How many homes under $500K are typically available in Centerville? ▾
Inventory in this price band is usually thin — often fewer than 10 active listings at any given time, and sometimes as few as 2 or 3. Townhomes and condos make up a larger share of what's available under $500K than single-family detached homes.
What kind of home can I realistically expect under $500K in Centerville? ▾
Most options are 1970s–1990s split-entries, ramblers, or townhomes between roughly 1,400 and 2,400 finished square feet. Lots tend to be smaller (under a quarter acre), and many homes have original or partially updated kitchens and bathrooms. Newer construction below $500K is rare here.
Are there any single-family detached homes under $500K, or just townhomes? ▾
Both show up, but detached single-family listings under $500K are less common and usually sell within days. Townhomes and twin homes — particularly along Pages Lane and the west side near Legacy Parkway — make up a larger share of this price range.
What schools serve homes in this price range? ▾
Centerville is part of the Davis School District. Depending on the neighborhood, kids attend Centerville, Reading, or J.A. Taylor Elementary, then Centennial Junior High and Viewmont High School. All have solid reputations within Davis County.
How does the commute work from Centerville to Salt Lake City? ▾
It's about 15–20 minutes to downtown SLC via I-15 or Legacy Parkway outside of rush hour, and 25–30 during peak commute times. The Farmington FrontRunner station is roughly five minutes north and runs straight into SLC Central Station and Provo.
Should I expect bidding wars under $500K here? ▾
Often, yes — especially on detached homes in move-in condition. The supply-demand imbalance in this price band means well-priced listings frequently see multiple offers within the first weekend. Getting pre-approved and being ready to tour quickly is worth the prep.
