Homes Under $500,000 in Perry, Utah
Perry sits just south of Brigham City along the I-15 corridor in Box Elder County, roughly an hour north of downtown Salt Lake City and about 25 minutes from Ogden. It's a small town of around 5,000 residents with a working agricultural backbone — the fruit orchards along Highway 89 (the "Fruit Way") are still the local landmark — and a steady trickle of new subdivisions built for families priced out of Davis and Weber County. Under $500K in Perry typically gets you a 3-4 bedroom build from the 2000s or 2010s on a quarter-acre lot, a newer townhome in one of the developments off 1100 South, or an older rambler closer to the bench with mountain views toward Willard Peak.
The draw here is space and quiet without giving up commuter access. Box Elder School District serves the town (Perry Elementary, Box Elder Middle, Box Elder High), property taxes run lower than Salt Lake County, and Autoliv's Brigham City plant plus the ATK/Northrop Grumman facilities in the area keep local employment steady. Willard Bay is ten minutes south for boating, and the Wasatch foothills are right out the back door for hiking and snowshoeing. At this price point inventory moves — well-priced homes in Perry tend to go under contract in a few weeks, especially in spring.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Perry.
What kind of home does $500K buy in Perry right now? ▾
Most homes under $500K in Perry are 3- to 4-bedroom single-family houses between 1,800 and 2,800 finished square feet, often built between the late 1990s and mid-2010s. Lot sizes typically run a quarter-acre to a third-acre, though older homes near the original townsite can sit on larger parcels. Newer builds east of Highway 89 lean toward the upper end of this range.
How does Perry compare to Brigham City on price? ▾
Perry generally runs slightly higher per square foot than Brigham City because of newer construction stock and proximity to the foothills, but the gap is narrow — often $10K to $30K on comparable homes. Buyers willing to look at homes built before 2000 can sometimes find better value in Perry than in equivalent Brigham City neighborhoods.
Are there newer construction homes available under $500K in Perry? ▾
Yes, though the selection has tightened. Subdivisions like those off 2700 South and along the east bench occasionally have spec homes or resales under $500K, typically 2,000–2,400 finished square feet with unfinished basements. Fully finished new builds with basements tend to push above the $500K line.
What's the commute like from Perry to Ogden or Salt Lake City? ▾
Ogden runs about 25 minutes south on I-15, Hill AFB is roughly 35–40 minutes, and downtown Salt Lake City is typically 55–70 minutes depending on rush-hour traffic through the Davis County stretch. FrontRunner commuter rail is accessible from the Brigham City area, with the closest active station currently in Ogden.
Which schools serve homes in Perry? ▾
Perry is part of Box Elder School District. Most neighborhoods feed into Perry Elementary, then Box Elder Middle School and Box Elder High School in Brigham City. Some newer east-side subdivisions may be zoned to Three Mile Creek Elementary depending on address.
How quickly do sub-$500K homes sell in Perry? ▾
Well-priced homes in good condition typically go under contract in 2 to 5 weeks during spring and summer, longer in late fall and winter. Homes needing updates or priced above recent comps can sit 60+ days. Inventory turnover is slower than Salt Lake or Utah County but steady year-round.
