Single Story Homes for Sale in Murray, Utah
Murray sits squarely in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, bordered by Midvale to the south, Taylorsville to the west, and the city of South Salt Lake to the north — putting residents within 15 minutes of downtown Salt Lake City and about 20 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport. That central location draws a wide range of buyers, but single-story homes here attract a particularly motivated crowd: retirees wanting to age in place without stairs, families with young children who prefer open floor plans that sprawl outward instead of upward, and buyers with mobility considerations who need step-free living from the garage to the back patio. Murray's established neighborhoods — Vine Street corridors, the areas near Fashion Place, and the quieter streets flanking Murray Park — were largely built out between the 1950s and 1980s, which means a healthy share of the housing stock is already ranch-style by design, not by conversion.
Pricing for single-story homes in Murray generally runs from the upper $300,000s for smaller post-war ranches to the mid-$600,000s for fully remodeled, larger-footprint homes on generous lots — though updated kitchens, main-floor primary suites, and proximity to the Murray Central TRAX station can push values higher. The Cottonwood Canyon mouths are visible from much of the city, and the Wasatch foothills sit close enough to see clearly on any clear day. Murray City schools serve most of the area, and the city's own parks department maintains Murray Park — one of the Salt Lake Valley's largest municipal parks — just blocks from many of these neighborhoods.

Common questions
About single story homes in Murray.
Why are single story homes popular in Murray? ▾
Murray has one of the larger concentrations of retirees and aging-in-place homeowners along the Salt Lake Valley, partly because of Intermountain Medical Center sitting right in town. No-stair living is a top priority for that group, plus young families who don't want toddlers on stairs. Demand stays steady year-round.
What neighborhoods in Murray have the most ramblers? ▾
The east-side areas around Murray Parkway, Vine Street, and the older sections near Murray Park are full of 1950s–1970s brick ramblers on quarter-acre lots. Newer single-level builds show up less often since infill projects tend to go vertical, so most one-story inventory is mid-century with updates.
Do Murray ramblers usually have basements? ▾
Yes — most single-story homes in Murray sit on a full basement, often finished with extra bedrooms, a family room, or a mother-in-law setup. That's a Utah construction norm going back decades, so even a 1,400 sq ft main floor often doubles the total finished square footage.
How do single story prices compare to two-story homes in Murray? ▾
Ramblers typically carry a small premium per square foot on the main level because the foundation and roof cost more per finished foot than stacking stories. Expect single-level homes in Murray to run roughly $500K–$800K depending on lot size, basement finish, and updates, with custom builds going higher.
Are there any single-level townhomes or patio homes in Murray? ▾
A handful — there are small patio-home pockets near Fashion Place and along State Street, plus 55+ communities scattered through the valley nearby. True single-level attached product is limited inside Murray city limits, so most buyers end up looking at detached ramblers.
Is Murray a good fit for buyers downsizing from a larger Salt Lake County home? ▾
It's one of the more practical landing spots. You're 15 minutes to downtown SLC, the hospital and TRAX are right there, and the older neighborhoods have mature trees and flatter lots than the benches. Yard sizes are manageable without feeling cramped.
