5+ Bedroom Homes for Sale in Murray, Utah
Murray sits right in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, and that central location is a big part of why families chasing a 5-bedroom floor plan keep circling back to it. You're 15 minutes from downtown Salt Lake, 20 from the U, 30 to Cottonwood Canyon trailheads, and walking distance to TRAX from a lot of east-side neighborhoods. The housing stock is genuinely mixed: brick ramblers from the 50s and 60s with finished basements that pencil out to five or six bedrooms, two-story builds from the 90s and early 2000s east of State Street, and a steady trickle of new infill on tear-down lots near Murray Park and Wheeler Farm. That variety means a five-bedroom budget here stretches further than in Holladay or Sugar House next door.
What buyers tend to underestimate about Murray is how much of a small-town feel the city holds onto despite being landlocked by SLC, Taylorsville, Holladay, and Cottonwood Heights. Murray has its own school district, its own power utility, its own Fourth of July parade at Murray Park, and a downtown stretch along State Street that's slowly filling in with restaurants and small shops. For larger households, the combination of Murray School District (compact, well-rated, easy to navigate), short commutes in every direction, and homes with real basements and real yards is hard to match elsewhere in the valley.

Common questions
About 5+ bedroom homes in Murray.
What style of homes in Murray typically have 5 or more bedrooms? ▾
Most 5+ bedroom homes in Murray are two-story builds from the 1990s and 2000s in neighborhoods east of State Street, plus older brick ramblers near Murray Park and Wheeler Farm that have finished basements adding extra bedrooms. You'll also see a handful of newer infill builds replacing smaller mid-century homes on larger lots.
What price range should I expect for a 5-bedroom home in Murray? ▾
Pricing generally runs from the mid $600,000s for an older rambler with a basement conversion up to $1.1M+ for newer two-story homes east of 1300 East with updated finishes. Murray sits between Holladay and Cottonwood Heights pricing, so it tends to be a bit more accessible than either.
Are basement bedrooms legal bedrooms in Murray? ▾
Murray City requires basement bedrooms to have an egress window meeting current code (minimum 5.7 sq ft opening) to be counted as a legal bedroom. Many older Murray homes have rooms used as bedrooms that don't technically meet egress, so check the listing details and ask for the appraiser's room count.
Which schools serve larger family homes in Murray? ▾
Murray School District covers the city and is small enough that families often know the principals by name. Most 5+ bedroom homes feed into Murray High, with elementaries like Liberty, Longview, Viewmont, McMillan, and Parkside depending on the neighborhood. The district's compact footprint keeps commutes short.
How's the commute from Murray to downtown Salt Lake or Silicon Slopes? ▾
Murray is roughly 12 miles south of downtown SLC via I-15 or State Street, usually 15-25 minutes off-peak. TRAX has three stations in Murray (Murray North, Murray Central, Fashion Place), which is a real draw for families with multiple commuters. Lehi/Silicon Slopes runs about 30-40 minutes south on I-15.
Do larger Murray homes usually come with big yards? ▾
It varies a lot by era. Older homes near Murray Park and along Vine Street often sit on quarter-acre or larger lots with mature trees, while newer two-story builds tend toward 0.15-0.20 acre lots. If yard size matters, the east-side established neighborhoods are where to focus.
