Homes Under $500,000 in Perry, Utah
Perry sits in northern Box Elder County along Highway 89, wedged between the Wellsville Mountains to the east and the Great Salt Lake wetlands to the west, about 20 minutes north of Ogden and an hour from Salt Lake City International. It's a smaller, quieter alternative to Brigham City next door, with newer subdivisions off 1900 South and Gentile Street mixed in with older acreage homes that still have a rural feel. Under $500K here still buys real square footage — think 3 to 5 bedroom homes on quarter-acre-plus lots, many built in the last 15 years, rather than the cramped townhomes that price point gets you closer to Ogden or Layton.
Most of Perry's inventory under this number falls into two camps: newer construction in the Cascade Springs and Bloomington Farms-area developments, and older single-level ranch homes on bigger lots closer to the freeway and the Perry City Cemetery area. Buyers priced out of Willard or South Ogden often land here for the same Box Elder School District access, shorter commute to Hill Air Force Base, and lower property taxes than Weber County. Winters bring lake-effect snow off the Great Salt Lake, so garages and covered parking matter more here than in southern Utah listings.

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.
