Single Story Homes for Sale in Perry, Utah

Perry sits just south of Brigham City along the Highway 89 corridor, tucked between the Wellsville Mountains and the eastern shore of Willard Bay. It's a quiet Box Elder County town of roughly 5,000 residents that has grown steadily as buyers priced out of Ogden and northern Davis County look north for more land and newer construction. Single-level living fits the town's character — lots here tend to be larger than what you'd find in Layton or Clearfield, and the flat valley floor west of the highway makes ranch-style and rambler floor plans the default rather than the exception. You'll see a mix of 1990s and 2000s ramblers on half-acre lots, plus newer builds in subdivisions closer to 1100 South and Three Mile Creek.

Buyers gravitating toward single story homes in Perry usually fall into two camps: families who want main-floor primary suites with finished basements for kids or guests, and downsizers from larger Wasatch Front cities who are done with stairs. The commute to Hill Air Force Base runs about 45 minutes, ATK/Northrop Grumman is 20 minutes north, and Brigham City's hospital and shopping are five minutes up the road. Winters are cold and snowy with lake-effect bumps off the Great Salt Lake, so attached garages and low-maintenance landscaping matter more here than in St. George.

Common questions

About single story homes in Perry.

Why are single story homes popular in Perry?

Perry skews toward families putting down long-term roots and retirees moving up from Ogden or out from Brigham City, and both groups tend to want ranch-style layouts. The flat benches west of Highway 89 also lend themselves to wider lots and single-level footprints rather than the stacked builds you see on steeper hillsides farther south.

What do single story homes typically cost in Perry?

Most single-level homes in Perry trade in the mid $400s to mid $600s, depending on lot size, age, and whether the home has a finished basement. Newer builds in subdivisions off 1100 South and around Three Mile Creek tend to push the upper end, while older ramblers closer to the historic downtown stretch sit lower.

Do most single story homes in Perry have basements?

Yes — the majority are ramblers with full or partial basements, which is the standard build style across Box Elder County. That gives you single-level living upstairs plus extra square footage below for storage, a rec room, or additional bedrooms. True slab-on-grade single stories exist but are less common.

Are there new construction single story options in Perry?

There are. Builders active in Perry and neighboring Willard have been putting up rambler floor plans on quarter-acre to half-acre lots, often with three-car garages and RV parking — a big request from buyers here given how many own boats for Willard Bay or trailers for the Wasatch backcountry.

How does Perry compare to Brigham City for single-level homes?

Perry generally offers newer construction, larger lots, and a quieter feel, while Brigham City has more established neighborhoods and older ramblers at lower price points. Commute times to the ATK/Northrop Grumman corridor or to Ogden are nearly identical, so the choice usually comes down to lot size and home age.

Are single story homes a good fit for aging in place here?

They're one of the main reasons buyers downsize to Perry. Wide hallways, main-floor primary suites, and step-free entries are common in the newer ramblers, and the town's flat grid makes it easy to get around without much elevation change — a real consideration along the Wasatch Front.
