Homes with RV Parking for Sale in Magna, Utah

Magna sits on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, tucked between the Oquirrh Mountains and the Great Salt Lake, and it's one of the more practical places along the Wasatch Front to own a trailer, boat, or fifth wheel. Lot sizes here tend to run larger than what you'll see in newer west-side suburbs like Daybreak or Herriman — a lot of the housing stock dates to the Kennecott mining era and the 1970s-80s build-out, which means deeper setbacks, wider side yards, and gravel or concrete pads already poured next to the garage. For buyers hauling a Lake Powell boat, a side-by-side trailer for trips out to Knolls or Five Mile Pass, or a travel trailer for weekends in the Uintas, that extra room matters.

RV parking in Magna usually shows up in one of three forms: a gated side-yard pad behind a fence, a detached shop or oversized garage (common on the larger lots near 8400 West and out toward Lake Park), or simply a wide concrete strip running along the home. Magna is unincorporated Salt Lake County in some pockets and incorporated Metro Township in others, so parking rules can vary block to block — worth checking before you close. Commute-wise, you're about 20 minutes to downtown Salt Lake and 25 to the airport, with quick access to I-80 west for desert trips. Browse the active listings below to see which Magna homes currently have the side-yard space or shop you need.

Common questions

About homes with rv parking in Magna.

What size RV pad is typical on Magna homes?

Most side-yard pads in Magna run 10-12 feet wide and 30-45 feet deep, which fits a standard travel trailer, boat, or Class C motorhome. Homes on the larger lots near Pleasant Green or out by 8400 West sometimes have pads 14+ feet wide that can handle a fifth wheel or Class A. Always measure your rig's length plus tongue or hitch before committing.

Are there HOA or city rules I should know about for parking an RV in Magna?

Magna Metro Township generally allows RV parking on private property as long as the rig is on an improved surface (concrete, asphalt, or gravel) and not blocking the sidewalk or right-of-way. A handful of newer subdivisions have HOAs with stricter rules — some require the RV to be behind a fence or screened from the street. Check the CC&Rs on any specific listing before writing an offer.

Do homes with RV parking cost more in Magna than comparable homes without?

Yes, but the premium is modest compared to east-side cities. Expect to pay roughly $10,000-$25,000 more for a home with a dedicated RV pad and gated access versus the same floor plan without. Homes that include a detached shop or oversized RV garage carry a much larger premium, often $50,000+.

Can I add RV parking to a Magna home that doesn't already have it?

Often yes, especially on the older Magna lots that run 0.20-0.35 acres with a usable side yard. You'll typically need to widen or replace a section of fence, pour a concrete pad, and possibly move a gas meter or AC unit. Budget $5,000-$15,000 for a basic gravel-to-concrete pad project, more if you want a covered structure.

Is RV parking more common in older Magna neighborhoods or newer builds?

Older Magna — think the areas around Magna Main Street, Pleasant Green, and the homes north of 3500 South — has the highest concentration of RV-friendly lots because of the deeper setbacks and bigger side yards. Newer infill builds tend to have tighter lots and less room, though some custom homes on the bench toward the Oquirrhs were designed with RV bays from the start.

How close is Magna to popular RV destinations?

Magna's location is one of its big selling points for RV owners. You're about 90 minutes to the Uinta Mountains, two hours to Bear Lake, four hours to Lake Powell or Moab, and roughly 45 minutes to the Bonneville Salt Flats via I-80. The west-side location actually saves time heading out to desert trips compared to homes on the east bench.
