Single Story Homes for Sale in Holladay, Utah
Holladay sits in the southeast corner of the Salt Lake Valley, tucked between Big Cottonwood Canyon and I-215, and it's one of the few inner-valley cities where single-level ramblers still make up a meaningful share of the housing stock. The bones of the city were laid down in the 1950s and 60s, when builders favored long, low brick ranchers on generous lots — many of which are still standing along streets like Murray-Holladay Road, Walker Lane, and the neighborhoods west of Holladay Village. For buyers who want to skip the stairs, that history works in their favor: single-story options here aren't limited to newer 55+ communities the way they often are in Draper or Lehi.
The buyer pool for single-level homes in Holladay leans toward two groups — empty-nesters trading down from bigger Cottonwood Heights or Sandy houses, and professionals who want a walkable, tree-lined neighborhood within 20 minutes of downtown Salt Lake and the airport. Winters bring real snow loads and icy driveways, which is part of why main-floor living holds its value here; summers are mild compared to St. George, so outdoor space on those large Holladay lots gets used most of the year. Expect a mix of original mid-century ramblers priced for renovation and fully updated single-levels commanding a premium for turn-key condition.

Common questions
About single story homes in Holladay.
Why is single-level living in demand in Holladay? ▾
Holladay skews older and more established than newer Salt Lake County suburbs, and a lot of buyers here are downsizing from larger family homes or planning to age in place. Avoiding stairs matters when you're carrying groceries in from a snowy driveway in January or thinking about long-term mobility. Holladay's flatter east-bench lots also lend themselves to ramblers in a way that steeper foothill neighborhoods don't.
What style of single-story homes are most common in Holladay? ▾
Mid-century ramblers from the 1950s-70s dominate the older parts of town near Holladay Village and along Murray-Holladay Road, often on quarter-acre to half-acre lots with mature trees. You'll also see updated brick ranchers and a smaller number of newer custom single-levels built on tear-down lots, particularly closer to Cottonwood Heights and the Olympus Cove side.
What price range should I expect for a single-story home in Holladay? ▾
Entry-level ramblers needing updates generally start in the upper $600s to low $700s, while renovated or larger single-levels on bigger lots routinely run $900K to $1.5M+. Custom new-build ramblers near Cottonwood Country Club or on Walker Lane can clear $2M. Lot size and proximity to Big Cottonwood Canyon push prices noticeably.
Do single-story homes in Holladay typically have basements? ▾
Most do. The classic Holladay rambler is a single-level main floor over a full basement, which effectively doubles the usable square footage without adding stairs to daily living. Buyers who want true main-floor living usually look for a primary suite, laundry, and kitchen all on the entry level, with the basement reserved for guests, storage, or a rec room.
How does the lot size compare to newer Salt Lake County suburbs? ▾
Holladay lots are noticeably larger than what you'll find in Daybreak or Herriman. A third of an acre is common, half-acre lots aren't rare, and some pockets near Walker Lane and Holladay Boulevard have full acre parcels. That's part of why single-story homes here feel more spread out than ramblers built in newer master-planned communities.
Are HOAs common with Holladay ramblers? ▾
Generally no. The bulk of single-story homes in Holladay sit on traditional fee-simple lots with no HOA, which is part of the appeal for buyers coming from condo or townhome setups. The exceptions are a handful of newer infill developments and 55+ communities, where you'll see modest monthly dues covering shared landscaping or snow removal.
