Single Story Homes for Sale in Elwood, Utah
Elwood sits in Box Elder County just west of Tremonton, about 25 minutes north of Brigham City and an hour from the Salt Lake City airport via I-15. It's a small farming town of roughly 1,200 residents where lot sizes run generous — half-acre to multi-acre parcels are common, and a lot of the housing stock was built as ranch-style or rambler floor plans to match the rural character. That makes Elwood a reasonable hunting ground for single-story living, whether the buyer is a retiree downsizing from a two-story in Logan, a young family that wants no stairs with toddlers, or someone who needs single-level access for mobility reasons.
Most single-story homes here fall in the $400K–$650K range depending on acreage, outbuildings, and whether the property includes irrigation shares. Expect to see brick ramblers from the 1970s and 80s, plus newer builds on subdivided ag land with three-car garages and full unfinished basements (which technically keeps them single-story on the main level while doubling usable square footage). Bear River School District serves the area, and most buyers commuting to Logan, Brigham, or the ATK/Northrop Grumman facility near Promontory find Elwood's location workable. Browse the active single-story listings below to see what's currently available, and filter further by acreage or garage count if those matter for your search.

Common questions
About single story homes in Elwood.
How common are single-story homes in Elwood? ▾
Very common. Elwood developed as a farming community with ranch-style ramblers dominating the housing stock from the 1960s through today. Even newer construction on subdivided parcels tends toward single-level main floors with basements, since lot sizes don't force builders to go vertical the way they do in tighter Wasatch Front subdivisions.
Do single-story homes in Elwood usually have basements? ▾
Most do. A full unfinished or partially finished basement is standard on both older ramblers and newer builds, which effectively doubles the square footage while keeping all primary living on one level. Buyers who want true single-level living with no basement at all are a smaller subset — those listings exist but move quickly.
What price range should I expect? ▾
Single-story homes in Elwood generally run $400K to $650K, with the spread driven mostly by acreage, shop or outbuilding space, and irrigation water rights. Smaller older ramblers on quarter-acre lots can come in under $400K, while newer builds on an acre with a detached shop push past $700K.
Are these homes on septic or city sewer? ▾
It varies by location within Elwood. Properties closer to the town center connect to municipal systems, while homes on larger ag-style parcels on the outskirts often run on septic with private or shared wells. Always confirm during due diligence — septic inspections and water rights documentation matter here.
What's the commute like from Elwood to Logan or Ogden? ▾
Logan is about 35–40 minutes via Highway 30 and Sardine Canyon. Ogden runs roughly 45 minutes south on I-15. The Northrop Grumman (formerly ATK) facility near Promontory is a 20-minute drive, which is why a number of aerospace engineers and technicians settle here.
Is Elwood a good fit for buyers who want acreage with their single-story home? ▾
Yes — this is one of the main reasons buyers look here instead of Brigham City or Tremonton proper. Half-acre to five-acre parcels with a rambler, a shop, and room for horses or 4-H animals are realistic finds in Elwood, often at prices well below comparable acreage closer to the Wasatch Front.
