Multi-Family Homes for Sale in Midvale, Utah

Midvale sits right in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, which is exactly why it keeps showing up on investor and house-hack shopping lists. Duplexes, triplexes, and small fourplexes here trade for noticeably less per door than comparable properties in Sugar House or Sandy, but tenants still get TRAX access at the Midvale Fort Union and Bingham Junction stations, a 20-minute commute to downtown Salt Lake, and quick I-15 access to the tech corridor in Lehi and Draper. The older multi-family stock concentrates around Main Street, State Street, and the Bingham Junction redevelopment area — think 1940s-1970s side-by-side duplexes on deep lots, plus some converted single-family homes with legal basement units. Newer townhome-style duplexes have been built closer to View 72 and the Jordan River corridor.

Rents have moved up substantially over the last five years as Midvale has cleaned up its core and Bingham Junction has added jobs, restaurants, and the Overstock (now Beyond) campus. Two-bedroom units in Midvale typically rent in a range that pencils better than most Salt Lake County submarkets, and the Canyons School District plus walkable transit help with tenant retention. Buyers should know that Midvale City has specific licensing and inspection requirements for rentals, and some older duplexes were created before current zoning — so verifying legal unit count with the city is part of due diligence here.

Common questions

About multi-family homes in Midvale.

What counts as a multi-family home in Midvale?

On the Midvale MLS, multi-family generally means duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes on a single parcel with one deed. Anything five units or larger is treated as commercial and listed separately. Twin homes and townhomes are usually classified as single-family attached, not multi-family.

Where in Midvale are most duplexes and fourplexes located?

The older multi-family stock clusters around Main Street, Center Street, and the blocks east of State Street between 7200 South and 7800 South. Bingham Junction and the area near the Midvale Fort Union TRAX station have seen some newer infill builds. Lots near the rail corridor tend to be larger and easier to convert or expand.

Can I use an FHA loan to buy a duplex or fourplex in Midvale?

Yes. FHA allows up to four units with as little as 3.5% down if you occupy one unit as your primary residence for at least a year. VA loans work the same way for eligible veterans. Lenders will count 75% of projected rent from the non-owner units toward your qualifying income.

What kind of rent do Midvale multi-family units bring in?

Two-bedroom units in Midvale typically rent in the $1,400–$1,750 range, and three-bedroom sides of a duplex often hit $1,800–$2,200 depending on condition and parking. Proximity to the Midvale Center or Fort Union TRAX stops adds a noticeable premium because tenants can reach downtown SLC or Sandy without a car.

Are there zoning rules I should know about before buying?

Midvale City has several residential zones (R-1-8, RM, and mixed-use overlays near TRAX) and not every lot allows multi-family by right. If you're buying with plans to add an ADU or convert a single-family home into a duplex, pull the zoning and check the city's General Plan before going under contract. The planning department on Center Street is responsive to direct questions.

How does Midvale compare to Murray or West Jordan for small multi-family investors?

Midvale tends to have lower entry prices than Murray and a denser concentration of legal duplexes than West Jordan, which is mostly single-family. Property taxes run roughly 0.6–0.7% of assessed value, similar to neighboring cities. The trade-off is older building stock — many Midvale duplexes were built between 1940 and 1980 and need plumbing, electrical, or roof updates.
