Homes with Views for Sale in Murray, Utah
Murray sits in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, which means view homes here usually face one of two directions: east toward the Wasatch — Mount Olympus, Twin Peaks, and the Cottonwood ridgeline — or west across the valley toward the Oquirrhs and the sunsets that come with them. The best vantage points tend to be in East Murray above 1300 East, along the benches near Vine Street and Wasatch Boulevard, and in pockets of older Murray with two-story homes on rises that clear the neighbors' rooflines. Because Murray is largely built out and relatively flat compared to Cottonwood Heights or Holladay just east of it, true view lots are limited and tend to hold value well.
Buyers shopping view homes in Murray are usually weighing trade-offs: a smaller lot in a tighter neighborhood with a clean Wasatch sightline versus a larger property a few blocks west with valley and sunset exposure. Proximity is part of the appeal — you're 15 minutes to downtown Salt Lake, 20 to the airport, and roughly 30 to Solitude or Brighton up Big Cottonwood. Intermountain Medical Center, TRAX, and I-15 access keep commute times short regardless of where you work. Prices vary widely depending on whether the view is a primary feature of the home (large west-facing windows, rooftop decks, walkout basements on a slope) or a bonus from an upper floor.

Common questions
About homes with views in Murray.
Which parts of Murray have the best mountain views? ▾
East Murray above 1300 East gives you the cleanest Wasatch sightlines, particularly toward Mount Olympus and the Cottonwoods. Homes near Wasatch Boulevard and the Murray-Holladay border tend to sit slightly higher and clear neighboring rooftops. Two-story homes anywhere in the city often pick up a second-floor view that single-level homes on the same block don't have.
Can I get both mountain and valley views in Murray? ▾
Yes, but it usually requires a two-story home or one on a slight rise. East-facing windows catch the Wasatch sunrise and west-facing windows pick up valley and Oquirrh sunsets. Corner lots and homes on north-south streets often capture both with the right floor plan.
Do view homes in Murray cost more than comparable non-view homes? ▾
Generally yes, though the premium is smaller than in Cottonwood Heights or the Avenues. Expect to pay somewhere in the range of 5–15% more for a meaningful Wasatch view in Murray, with larger premiums on homes where the view is built into the architecture — big west or east windows, decks, walkout basements.
Are view lots in Murray protected from future construction blocking them? ▾
Not formally. Murray is built out in most areas, so dramatic new construction directly in your sightline is unlikely, but a neighbor adding a second story or tall trees maturing can change a view over time. Driving the block and looking at the lots between you and the mountains is the best due diligence.
How does air quality affect mountain views during winter? ▾
Salt Lake Valley inversions in December through February can obscure the Wasatch for days at a stretch, and Murray sits in the lower valley where the inversion settles. That said, the view returns the moment a storm clears the air, and spring through fall visibility is excellent. Most buyers consider it a fair trade-off for the location.
How many view homes are typically active in Murray at one time? ▾
Inventory is thin — Murray is a smaller city geographically than Sandy or West Jordan, and view-specific listings often number in the single digits at any given moment. Setting up an MLS alert is the practical way to catch new ones, since well-priced view homes here tend to move quickly.
