Townhomes for Sale in Copperton, Utah
Copperton is one of the smallest and most unusual communities in Salt Lake County — a former Kennecott company town tucked against the mouth of Bingham Canyon, about 20 miles southwest of downtown Salt Lake City. The town itself is tiny (roughly 800 residents), historically zoned around single-family bungalows built in the 1920s for mine workers, so true townhome inventory inside Copperton's original footprint is essentially nonexistent. What buyers searching townhomes here are usually finding are newer attached-product developments just over the line in South Jordan, Herriman, and the Daybreak/Olympia Hills corridor, which share the same 84006 mailing area and Copperton Metro Township services.
That matters for pricing and lifestyle. Townhomes in the broader Copperton area typically run in the upper $300s to mid $500s depending on size, garage configuration, and HOA amenities, with most product built after 2015. Commuters get quick access to Bangerter Highway and Mountain View Corridor, Rio Tinto/Kennecott is the dominant nearby employer, and the views west into the Oquirrh Mountains are the real draw — you're closer to the copper mine overlook than to any freeway noise. Winters are slightly cooler than the valley floor, and summer evenings cool off fast once the canyon breeze kicks in. Inventory turns over quickly because the price point appeals to first-time buyers and downsizers alike. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market in and around Copperton.

Common questions
About townhomes for sale in Copperton.
How many townhomes are typically on the market in Copperton? ▾
Copperton is tiny — under 900 residents and well under 400 housing units total — so active townhome inventory is usually in the low single digits, and often zero. Most attached-housing activity actually sits just east in Herriman and South Jordan, which buyers searching Copperton often end up considering as well.
Is Copperton actually its own town? ▾
Yes. Copperton incorporated as a metro township in 2015 and sits at the mouth of Bingham Canyon, directly below the Kennecott copper mine. It's governed under Salt Lake County's metro township structure, so services like police and fire run through the county rather than a standalone city government.
What school district serves Copperton townhomes? ▾
Copperton falls within Jordan School District. Local kids typically feed into Copper Hills High in West Jordan, with Bingham High also nearby depending on boundary specifics. Confirm current boundaries with the district before writing an offer, since Jordan District adjusts feeder patterns periodically.
How does HOA structure usually work on attached homes near Copperton? ▾
Most townhome projects in and around the southwest Salt Lake Valley carry monthly HOA dues in the $150–$300 range covering exterior maintenance, roofs, landscaping, and snow removal — useful given the lake-effect winters here. Always pull the CC&Rs and a recent reserve study during your due diligence period.
What's the commute like from Copperton to downtown Salt Lake or the airport? ▾
Copperton sits about 20 miles southwest of downtown SLC. Bangerter Highway and Mountain View Corridor both feed north toward I-80 and the airport, with typical drive times of 30–40 minutes to downtown and 35–45 minutes to SLC International depending on rush hour.
Should I expand my search beyond Copperton's town limits? ▾
Almost certainly yes if you want real townhome selection. Herriman, Bluffdale, Riverton, and the southwest edge of West Jordan have far more attached-housing projects within a 10-minute drive, at price points that overlap heavily with what little comes up inside Copperton itself.
