Homes Under $300,000 in Green River, Utah
Green River sits in Emery County along the Green River and I-70, about 180 miles southeast of Salt Lake City and roughly 50 miles from Moab. It's a small town of under 1,000 people, and almost everything on the market here lands below $300K. That's far under the Wasatch Front, where a starter home often runs past $450K. Buyers here tend to be a mix: locals and railroad or river-industry workers, retirees who want a quiet desert address, and people eyeing a base near Moab, Canyonlands, and the San Rafael Swell without Moab's prices.
Expect older single-story homes, manufactured homes on owned lots, and the occasional larger parcel with room for RVs, shops, or a garden. Summers run hot, with July highs regularly above 95°F, while winters are cold but mild by Utah standards and snow doesn't linger. Green River is known for its melons, and some lots come with irrigation shares, so ask about water. Services are limited, with a school district that covers the town through Emery County, and bigger grocery runs mean a drive to Price or Moab. Inventory is thin, so a handful of listings is normal. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market under $300K.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Green River.
What kind of homes can I actually get for under $300K in Green River? ▾
At this price point you're typically looking at 2-3 bedroom single-family homes built between the 1940s and 1990s, manufactured homes on their own lots, and the occasional small-acreage property with an older structure. Move-in-ready listings do exist but go quickly; many homes in this range need cosmetic updates or system upgrades.
How many homes are usually for sale in Green River at one time? ▾
Green River is a small market — it's common to see only 5 to 15 active residential listings town-wide at any given moment, and sometimes fewer than that under $300K specifically. If nothing is showing right now, it's worth saving the search and checking back weekly.
Is Green River a reasonable commute to Moab or Price? ▾
Moab is about 45 minutes south via US-191, and Price is roughly an hour northwest on US-6. Neither is a daily Wasatch Front commute, but both are doable for workers in hospitality, energy, or healthcare who want cheaper housing than what Moab offers.
Do homes here come with water rights or shares? ▾
Some do, especially older properties along the canal or with garden plots and melon ground. Green River Canal Company shares are a real asset and should be confirmed in writing during due diligence — they don't always automatically transfer with the deed.
Are there financing challenges with cheaper Green River homes? ▾
Yes, occasionally. Manufactured homes built before 1976, properties with significant deferred maintenance, or homes appraising under $100K can be tough for conventional and FHA lenders. Local credit unions, USDA Rural Development loans, and cash offers often work better in those situations.
What's the property tax situation like? ▾
Emery and Grand county property tax rates are low compared to the Wasatch Front, and Utah's primary residence exemption knocks 45% off the taxable value if you live in the home. On a $250K home expect annual taxes in roughly the $900-$1,400 range, depending on the county and taxing district.
