No HOA Homes for Sale in Kearns, Utah
Kearns is one of the easiest places in Salt Lake County to find a house without an HOA. The community was built out in waves starting in the late 1940s on the footprint of the old Kearns Army Air Base, and most of those original neighborhoods — the grid between 4000 West and 6000 West, south of 5400 South — went in long before associations became a standard part of suburban development. That means quarter-acre lots, detached garages, mature trees, and no monthly dues or architectural committees telling you what color to paint the trim. For buyers who want a boat in the driveway, a backyard shop, chickens, or just the freedom to skip a board meeting, Kearns is a practical answer at a price point that still works.
The trade-off is that you're buying older housing stock — a lot of brick ramblers from the 50s and 60s, plus split-entries from the 70s and 80s — so condition varies widely block to block. Oquirrh Park, the Olympic Oval, and quick access to Bangerter Highway and Mountain View Corridor keep demand steady from commuters heading to the airport, downtown SLC, or the tech corridor in Lehi. Median prices here run noticeably under West Jordan and Taylorsville for similar square footage, which is why first-time buyers and investors both circle Kearns hard.

Common questions
About no hoa homes in Kearns.
Are most homes in Kearns actually without an HOA? ▾
Yes. The bulk of Kearns was platted in the 1940s and 50s as wartime housing around the Kearns Army Air Base, long before HOAs became standard. Most single-family streets between 5400 South and 6200 South have no association at all. The exceptions tend to be newer townhome pockets and a few PUDs built after 2000.
What does no HOA mean for what I can do with the property? ▾
No monthly dues, no architectural review board, and no rules about parking your boat or RV in the driveway — which matters in a community where a lot of owners head to the Uintas or Lake Powell on weekends. You still answer to Salt Lake County zoning and Kearns Metro Township ordinances, so things like outbuilding size, fence height, and short-term rentals are governed at the township level.
What's the price difference vs. comparable HOA neighborhoods nearby? ▾
Kearns runs well below the Salt Lake County median, with most non-HOA single-family homes trading in the high $300s to mid $400s depending on lot size and updates. Skipping the HOA also saves $30–$200 a month compared to similar square footage in newer West Jordan or South Jordan subdivisions.
Can I park an RV, boat, or work trailer at the house? ▾
Generally yes, as long as you follow Kearns Metro Township's parking ordinance — vehicles need to be on an improved surface and not blocking the sidewalk or right-of-way. Many of the original quarter-acre lots have side-yard access wide enough for a trailer or a detached shop, which is part of why these homes appeal to tradespeople and outdoor recreationists.
Are there any covenants or deed restrictions I should still check for? ▾
Occasionally. A handful of streets near 4800 West and the older infill near Oquirrh Park have legacy CC&Rs on title even without an active HOA collecting dues. Always pull the prelim title report — your agent or title officer can flag anything recorded against the parcel before you remove contingencies.
How quickly do no-HOA homes in Kearns sell? ▾
They move faster than the Salt Lake County average when priced right, especially anything under $425K with a garage and a usable yard. First-time buyers using FHA and investors looking for rentals both compete for the same inventory, so expect multiple offers on updated homes in the first weekend.
