5+ Bedroom Homes for Sale in Kearns, Utah
Kearns sits in the southwest corner of the Salt Lake Valley, tucked between Taylorsville, West Valley, and the Oquirrh foothills, and it's one of the more affordable spots on the Wasatch Front for families who actually need bedroom count. The housing stock skews toward 1960s and 1970s brick ramblers on roomy lots, plus a wave of newer two-story builds north of 5400 South. That mix matters when you're shopping for five or more bedrooms — a Kearns rambler with three bedrooms up and a finished basement often gives you five or six bedrooms for well under what comparable square footage costs in Herriman or South Jordan.
Commuters get easy access to Bangerter Highway and the 5600 West corridor, which puts the Salt Lake City airport about 15 minutes away and downtown around 20 minutes in normal traffic. Families tend to land here for Granite School District schools, the Oquirrh Park Fitness Center and Olympic Oval, and lot sizes that still allow room for an RV pad, a shop, or a trampoline that isn't pressed against the fence. Most larger homes here trade in the $475K–$625K range depending on basement finish, garage count, and whether mechanicals have been updated.

Common questions
About 5+ bedroom homes in Kearns.
What do 5-bedroom homes typically cost in Kearns? ▾
Most 5-bedroom houses in Kearns trade in the upper $400s to mid $600s, depending on lot size, finished basement square footage, and whether the kitchen and baths have been updated. Older brick ramblers with a finished basement tend to sit at the lower end, while remodeled two-stories near 5400 South push higher. Pricing here still runs well below comparable Sandy or Draper inventory.
Are most 5+ bedroom homes in Kearns ramblers with basement bedrooms? ▾
Yes. The bulk of Kearns was built between the 1950s and 1970s as brick ramblers on quarter-acre lots, so the fifth and sixth bedrooms are usually downstairs. That layout works well for multigenerational households or for renting out a basement with a separate entrance, which is common in the area.
Do these larger homes qualify for an ADU or basement apartment? ▾
Kearns is unincorporated Salt Lake County, so accessory dwelling rules follow county code rather than a city ordinance. Many existing basements already function as second units with their own kitchen and side entrance. Buyers planning to rent should verify legal status with Salt Lake County before closing.
Which schools serve larger families moving to Kearns? ▾
Kearns falls inside Granite School District. Kearns High, Kearns Junior High, and several elementaries including Western Hills and David Gourley feed most neighborhoods. The Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center and its Olympic pool sit right in the middle of town, which matters when you have a houseful of kids.
How close is Kearns to downtown Salt Lake and the airport? ▾
Kearns sits about 12 miles southwest of downtown Salt Lake City and roughly 15 minutes from SLC International via Bangerter Highway and I-80. The 5600 West and Bangerter corridors give quick access to the west-side job centers in West Valley and the Inland Port.
How many 5+ bedroom listings are usually active in Kearns? ▾
Inventory in this size range is thin — typically a dozen or fewer active listings at any given time, since most original floor plans were three bedrooms up and finishing the basement is what pushes a home into the five-bedroom count. The list below updates directly from the MLS.
