Homes with Casitas & Guest Houses in Herriman, Utah
Herriman sits at the southwest edge of the Salt Lake Valley, tucked against the Oquirrh Mountains and built out heavily over the last fifteen years. That timing matters when you're shopping for a casita or detached guest house: most of the inventory here is newer construction in master-planned communities like Rosecrest, Anthem, and Juniper Crest, where lot sizes can accommodate a second living quarter and HOAs vary widely on what they allow. A true casita — attached but with its own exterior entrance — is the most common setup, while fully detached guest houses tend to show up on the larger half-acre and acre lots out toward the foothills and the Butterfield Canyon side of town.
Demand for these floor plans in Herriman is driven by multigenerational families, remote workers who need a separate office suite, and parents housing college students commuting to the U or Utah Valley University. Resale value tends to hold up well because the secondary space doubles as a rental option, an in-law suite, or a private guest wing when extended family visits — and Herriman's median price point (generally in the high $600s to low $800s for single-family) means buyers expect more square footage and flexibility than they would closer to downtown Salt Lake. Verify city short-term rental rules and HOA covenants before counting on Airbnb income, since Herriman has tightened enforcement in recent years.

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.
