Homes Under $500,000 in North Salt Lake, Utah
North Salt Lake sits at the south end of Davis County, tucked against the foothills just 10 minutes north of downtown Salt Lake City and about 15 minutes from SLC International. For buyers working with a budget under $500K, this is one of the more realistic entry points to the north end of the Wasatch Front — you get Davis School District, quick access to I-15 and Legacy Parkway, and bench-level views back across the valley without paying Bountiful or Centerville prices. Most homes in this range are townhomes and twin homes in newer developments like Foxboro and Eaglewood-adjacent communities, plus older 1970s and 1980s split-entries and ramblers closer to Highway 89 and Orchard Drive.
At this price point, expect roughly 3-bedroom, 2-bath layouts between 1,400 and 2,200 finished square feet, often with an unfinished basement that lets you add equity over time. Townhomes typically run $375K-$460K, while detached starter homes hover closer to the $475K-$500K ceiling and tend to move quickly when they hit the MLS. HOA fees are common in the Foxboro area and worth factoring into your monthly payment, especially if the community covers exterior maintenance and the clubhouse pool. Commute-wise, you can be at the State Capitol in 12 minutes and the U of U in about 20 outside of rush hour.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in North Salt Lake.
What kind of home can I realistically get in North Salt Lake under $500K? ▾
Most listings in this range are 3-bed townhomes in Foxboro or older detached homes from the 70s and 80s closer to Orchard Drive and Highway 89. Square footage usually lands between 1,400 and 2,200 finished, and many have unfinished basements you can build out later. Brand-new construction under $500K is rare here but does pop up occasionally as builder closeouts.
Are there many single-family detached homes under $500K, or mostly townhomes? ▾
Inventory skews toward townhomes and twin homes at this price, especially in the Foxboro master-planned area. Detached homes do show up, but they're typically older split-entries or smaller ramblers and they tend to get multiple offers within the first week on market.
What HOA fees should I budget for in North Salt Lake? ▾
Foxboro and similar townhome communities typically run $100-$200/month, which often covers exterior maintenance, landscaping, and amenities like a pool or clubhouse. Older detached neighborhoods generally have no HOA. Always ask for the HOA financials and CC&Rs before going under contract.
Which schools serve homes in this price range? ▾
North Salt Lake is part of Davis School District. Depending on the neighborhood, kids attend Foxboro, Orchard, or Odyssey elementaries, then South Davis Junior High and Woods Cross High. Davis District generally rates well and is a real factor in why this area holds value.
How's the commute to downtown Salt Lake or the airport from North Salt Lake? ▾
Downtown SLC is about 10-12 minutes via I-15 or Beck Street outside of rush hour, and SLC International is roughly 15 minutes via Legacy Parkway. The UTA FrontRunner station in Woods Cross is also nearby for car-free commuting to Ogden or Provo.
Do homes under $500K here move quickly? ▾
Yes — the sub-$500K segment is the most competitive price band in North Salt Lake because it overlaps with first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. Well-priced listings often go under contract within 7-14 days, and move-in-ready detached homes can see multiple offers. Having financing fully underwritten before you tour helps a lot.
