Homes with Casitas & Guest Houses in Herriman, Utah
Herriman's newer subdivisions were built with room to spare, and that's exactly why the city has become one of the better spots along the Salt Lake Valley's west side to find a casita or guest house. Neighborhoods like Rosecrest, Blackridge, and the pockets near Butterfield Canyon feature larger lots than you'll see in older valley suburbs, giving builders space to add a detached casita or an attached suite with its own entrance. These setups suit the multigenerational households common here — parents who want aging relatives nearby but independent, or adult kids saving toward their own place while still under the same roof. Some casitas function as simple guest quarters with a bedroom and bath; others come with a full kitchen and laundry, essentially a small second home on the same parcel.
Buyers drawn to this setup in Herriman are usually thinking beyond just resale value — they're picturing a specific use, whether that's housing a parent, running a long-term rental for extra income, or hosting family who visit from out of state. Because casita finishes and permit status vary a lot from one listing to the next, it pays to look closely at square footage, whether the kitchen is full or partial, and whether the structure is attached or freestanding on the lot. Prices for these homes generally run above Herriman's overall median given the added square footage and site work involved.

Common questions
About homes with casitas & guest houses in Herriman.
What's the difference between a casita, a guest house, and an ADU in Herriman? ▾
A casita is usually an attached suite with its own entrance, bedroom, bath, and sometimes a kitchenette — often marketed as a 'next-gen' or 'mother-in-law' suite. A guest house is a fully detached structure on the same lot. Both can qualify as an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) under Herriman city code, but ADU status comes with specific permitting and owner-occupancy rules.
Does Herriman allow short-term rentals in a casita or guest house? ▾
Herriman currently limits short-term rentals to owner-occupied properties, meaning the main home must be your primary residence if you want to rent the secondary unit on Airbnb or VRBO. Long-term rentals (30+ days) of an ADU are more permissive. Always confirm the current ordinance with the city's planning department before closing.
Which Herriman neighborhoods are most likely to have homes with guest houses? ▾
The larger-lot pockets in Rosecrest, Anthem, Juniper Crossing, and the semi-rural areas near Butterfield Canyon and 13400 South are where detached guest houses show up most often. Newer Ivory and Toll Brothers communities also offer next-gen suite floor plans as an attached option.
What price range should I expect for a Herriman home with a casita? ▾
Most homes with a true secondary living space run between $750,000 and $1.4 million. Attached next-gen suites in newer builds typically start in the high $700s, while custom homes on a half-acre or more with a detached guest house can push past $1.5M depending on finishes and views.
Can I get a mortgage that counts rental income from the casita? ▾
Some lenders will count documented long-term rental income toward your debt-to-income ratio, especially if the unit is a legal ADU with separate utilities and a certificate of occupancy. FHA and conventional loans both have programs for multigenerational properties — talk to a local lender familiar with Salt Lake County ADU rules before you write an offer.
How many casita or guest house homes are typically active in Herriman? ▾
Inventory stays tight — usually only a handful of listings at any given time given how specific the feature is. The active count below updates directly from the Wasatch Front MLS, so what you see is what's currently on the market today.
