Single Story Homes for Sale in Midvale, Utah
Single story homes in Midvale tend to be classic Salt Lake Valley ramblers — three bedrooms up, a full basement down, attached carport or single-car garage, and a fenced backyard on a flat lot. The bulk of this inventory was built between the mid-1950s and early 1980s in neighborhoods like East Midvale, Bingham Junction, and the streets surrounding Midvale City Park. Lot sizes are generous by current standards (often 0.18 to 0.25 acres), which is part of why ramblers here appeal to buyers who want a yard, a garden, or room for an RV pad without paying foothill prices in Sandy or Holladay.
Location is the other draw. Midvale sits dead-center in the valley with I-15, I-215, and the Bingham Junction TRAX line all within a few minutes, putting downtown Salt Lake, the airport, Cottonwood Heights, and the Point of the Mountain tech corridor inside a 20-minute drive. Single-level living matters more here than in newer suburbs because a lot of buyers are either older residents staying close to Intermountain Medical Center or younger families wanting an affordable entry point with no stairs and a real backyard. Inventory moves quickly when a well-maintained rambler hits the market under $550K, so it pays to watch new listings closely.

Common questions
About single story homes in Midvale.
Are single story homes common in Midvale? ▾
Yes, especially in the older sections built between the 1940s and 1970s east of State Street and around Main Street. Post-2000 infill and townhome projects lean toward two-story builds, so most ramblers on the market are existing homes rather than new construction.
What's the typical price range for a rambler in Midvale? ▾
Most single-level homes in Midvale fall in the mid-$400Ks to high-$600Ks depending on lot size, basement finish, and whether updates have been done. Bridgeview-area homes and properties closer to Fort Union tend to sit at the higher end of that range.
Do single story homes in Midvale usually have basements? ▾
Most do. The classic Midvale rambler is a 3-bed up, 2-bed down layout on a quarter-acre or smaller lot, which effectively doubles the living space. Daylight or walkout basements are less common here than in foothill cities since most of Midvale sits on flatter valley floor.
Is Midvale a good fit for buyers downsizing from a larger home? ▾
It works well for downsizers who still want a yard and a garage but don't need stairs. TRAX access at the Midvale Center and Fort Union stations, plus quick I-15 and I-215 connections, make appointments at IMC and trips downtown easy without a long drive.
How old are most of the ramblers on the market here? ▾
The bulk were built between 1955 and 1985, with some 1940s cottages near historic Main Street and a smaller pocket of newer single-level builds in East Midvale. Expect to budget for furnace, roof, or sewer line updates on anything that hasn't been recently renovated.
Which school district serves single story homes in Midvale? ▾
Midvale is split between Canyons School District on the east side and Jordan School District on the west side of I-15. Hillcrest High, Midvale Middle, and Midvalley Elementary cover much of the rambler inventory east of the freeway.
