Homes with Views for Sale in Magna, Utah
Magna sits at the western edge of the Salt Lake Valley, tucked between the Oquirrh Mountains and the south shore of the Great Salt Lake. That geography is the whole reason view homes here are worth a look: lots on the benches and foothills can pull in the Wasatch Range to the east, the Oquirrhs to the west, and on clear days a long stretch of the lake and valley floor in between. It's one of the few spots in the Salt Lake metro where a buyer can get a real mountain-and-water outlook without paying east-bench prices, and the median home price in Magna still runs well under the county average.
What a view means here depends on where the house sits. Homes in Pleasant Green and the older neighborhoods near Magna Main Street tend to face the Oquirrhs and Kennecott's terraced hillsides, while newer subdivisions on the south end catch the Wasatch from Lone Peak up to the Twin Peaks. West-facing lots near 8400 West and Saltair Drive look toward the lake and the Stansbury Range beyond. Wind, dust off the receding lakebed, and proximity to the Kennecott smelter are all worth weighing depending on which direction the windows face.

Common questions
About homes with views in Magna.
What kind of views do Magna homes typically have? ▾
Most view homes in Magna face east toward the Wasatch Range — Mount Olympus, Twin Peaks, and Lone Peak are the headline sightlines. Properties higher on the Oquirrh benches also pick up Great Salt Lake views to the north and valley-light views at night. A smaller number of homes on the west side of town look back toward the Oquirrhs themselves.
Are view homes in Magna cheaper than comparable view homes elsewhere in Salt Lake County? ▾
Yes, generally by a meaningful margin. A view lot in Magna that runs in the mid-$500s to low-$700s would often price $200K–$400K higher in Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, or Draper. That gap is the main reason buyers priced out of the east bench look here.
Does the Kennecott mine affect views or air quality? ▾
The Kennecott smelter stack is visible from parts of Magna and is something to look at in person before buying — some lots frame it out, others don't. Air quality in Magna tracks closely with the rest of the Salt Lake Valley during winter inversions; it isn't notably worse, but inversion season does cut into mountain visibility from December through February.
Which Magna neighborhoods have the best view lots? ▾
The benches near Pleasant Green, the newer subdivisions south of 3500 South along the Oquirrh foothills, and pockets up near 8000 West tend to have the strongest east-facing valley and Wasatch views. Older homes in central Magna can also have surprising sightlines depending on lot elevation and how the street is laid out.
Will new construction block existing views? ▾
It's worth checking. Magna has open parcels that could be developed, and a view lot today isn't guaranteed to stay that way unless the home backs to protected open space, a steep slope, or a recorded easement. Ask your agent to pull the zoning and any pending plats for adjacent land before writing an offer.
Is the commute from Magna to downtown Salt Lake reasonable? ▾
It's about 15–20 miles to downtown SLC depending on where in Magna you are, and the drive runs 25–40 minutes in rush hour via I-80 or SR-201. The TRAX Green Line extension into Magna has also improved transit access, which matters if you want a view home without giving up city commutes.
