5+ Bedroom Homes for Sale in Kearns, Utah
Kearns sits in the flatlands between West Valley City and Taylorsville, built out largely in the 1950s and 60s on what used to be Kearns Army Air Base. That history shows up in the housing stock: a solid base of rambler and split-level homes on generous quarter-acre-plus lots, many of which have been expanded over the decades with finished basements, converted garages, and rear additions. That's exactly why 5+ bedroom homes are easier to find here than in newer, tighter-lot suburbs — Kearns lots were platted with room to grow, and generations of owners took advantage of it. Families drawn to Kearns also tend to be multi-generational or larger households, which has kept demand for bigger floor plans steady even as the city has aged.
A 5-bedroom home in Kearns typically means a 2-3 bedroom main level over a finished or partially finished basement adding two or more additional rooms, sometimes with a second kitchen or separate entrance suited to extended family or rental income. Prices run noticeably below comparable square footage in Salt Lake City proper or Sandy, which is part of why Kearns draws buyers who need space but are working with a tighter budget. The tradeoff is that many of these homes need updating — original electrical, older furnaces, or basements finished without permits are common enough that a knowledgeable inspection matters.

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.
