Homes Under $500,000 in Glendale, Utah
Glendale sits in Kane County along US-89, roughly 25 miles north of Kanab and about 4.5 hours from Salt Lake City. It's a small town of a few hundred residents at around 5,700 feet, with the Sevier River running through the valley and Zion, Bryce Canyon and Lake Powell all within a couple of hours' drive. Because the market is so small, a $500K budget goes a long way here. It typically covers a single-family home on a generous lot, often a half acre or more, and sometimes room for animals, a shop or a garden.
What you can buy varies a lot from one listing to the next. Expect older ranch homes, manufactured homes on owned land, modest cabins, and the occasional newer build. Winters are real, with snow and overnight lows well below freezing, and summers are warm but milder than St. George. Most homes use well or small-system water, and some have septic, so ask about both early. Services are limited, so groceries, medical care and most shopping mean a drive to Kanab or Cedar City. Remote workers, retirees and second-home buyers make up much of the demand. Inventory is thin and can change quickly, so check the active listings below to see what's on the market under $500K right now.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Glendale.
What kind of homes are actually available under $500K in Glendale? ▾
The sub-$500K range in Glendale typically includes older single-family homes on larger lots, manufactured and modular homes, and some newer builds in the 1,500–2,400 sq ft range. Because Glendale has so few transactions in a given year, inventory shifts quickly — sometimes there are six active listings, sometimes one or two.
Do homes in this price range usually include acreage or water rights? ▾
Many do. Properties outside the town center often sit on a half-acre to several acres, and irrigation shares from the Sevier River system frequently convey with the deed. Always confirm water rights and share counts in the title work before closing — they're a major part of the value in Long Valley.
Is Glendale a realistic option for a primary residence, or mostly second homes? ▾
Both work here. Remote workers and retirees buy in Glendale for the quiet and the proximity to Zion and Bryce, while others use it as a vacation base. Just plan around the realities — Kanab is the nearest town with a grocery store and hospital, about 25 minutes south on US-89.
What should buyers know about utilities and infrastructure at this price? ▾
Most homes outside the small town grid run on private wells and septic systems, with propane for heat and cooking. Power is from Garkane Energy. Internet has improved with some fiber buildout, but speeds vary block to block — verify service at the specific address before committing if you work from home.
How does Glendale compare to nearby Orderville or Mt. Carmel for under-$500K shoppers? ▾
Pricing is similar across all three Long Valley towns since they share the same MLS area, school district (Kane County), and lifestyle. Orderville has slightly more services, Mt. Carmel sits closer to Zion's east gate, and Glendale tends to feel the most agricultural. Cross-shopping all three is smart given how thin inventory is.
Are short-term rentals allowed on homes in this price range? ▾
Kane County's nightly rental rules vary by zone, and Glendale itself has its own town ordinances. Some properties are grandfathered or sit in zones that permit STRs, others don't. If rental income is part of your plan, get the zoning and permit status in writing from the county and town before going under contract.
