Homes Under $500,000 in North Salt Lake, Utah
North Salt Lake sits at a rare crossroads for Wasatch Front buyers: a ten-minute drive to downtown Salt Lake, easy access to I-15 and I-215, and views of the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Range from the benches above Foxboro and Eaglepointe. Homes under $500K here are getting harder to find as new construction on the east bench pushes past $600K, but they still turn up regularly — mostly townhomes and condos in communities like Bountiful Ridge and the Hillside area, plus older single-family homes in the flatter, established sections near Redwood Road and Center Street. These are typically 3-bedroom homes built in the 1970s-90s or newer attached product from the last decade, and they tend to move fast because the price point competes directly with Woods Cross and West Bountiful.
Buyers priced out of the $600K+ new builds on the east side often start here because the commute math still works — Davis County property taxes run lower than Salt Lake County, and the drive to downtown or the University of Utah stays under 20 minutes without hitting the canyon traffic that plagues Park City commuters. Expect smaller lots, shared walls in some listings, and homes that need a coat of paint or a kitchen refresh rather than a full remodel.

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.
