Fixer Upper Homes for Sale in Pleasant Grove, Utah
Pleasant Grove sits right in the middle of the north Utah County growth corridor, between Lindon and American Fork at the base of Mount Timpanogos. Because the city was platted in the 1850s and built out in waves through the 1970s and 80s, there's a real stock of older homes here — brick ramblers near Downtown PG, mid-century split-levels off 200 East, and the occasional pioneer-era cottage with a deep lot. Buyers hunting for a project home come to Pleasant Grove specifically because it offers something Lehi and Saratoga Springs largely don't: established trees, walkable older neighborhoods, and lot sizes that often run a quarter-acre or more. With Silicon Slopes employers ten minutes north and BYU fifteen minutes south, the renovation math tends to pencil out even after you add a new kitchen and roof.
Expect most fixer listings in PG to need cosmetic updates, mechanical replacements, or layout reworks rather than full teardowns — land values are too high now for that to make sense on the average lot. Pricing on dated homes typically runs $400K to $600K depending on square footage and location, with anything near the Murdock Canal Trail or with a Timpanogos view commanding more. Inspections matter a lot here: older PG homes can have galvanized plumbing, knob-and-tube remnants, and original furnaces still in service.

Common questions
About fixer upper homes in Pleasant Grove.
What counts as a fixer upper in Pleasant Grove? ▾
Most listings flagged as fixer uppers here are older homes built between the 1940s and 1980s along Main Street, 200 East, and the Manila and Grove Creek areas. They typically need cosmetic updates, kitchen or bath remodels, roof or HVAC replacement, or sometimes foundation and electrical work in the oldest stock. True teardowns are rare because lot values have climbed considerably.
Can I get a renovation loan for a Pleasant Grove fixer upper? ▾
Yes. FHA 203(k) and Fannie Mae HomeStyle loans are both used regularly by local buyers and roll the purchase price and rehab budget into one mortgage. A few Utah County lenders specialize in these products, and they work well for homes that need more than $35,000 in repairs.
What permits will I need for a major remodel? ▾
Pleasant Grove City handles building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits through its Community Development office. Structural changes, additions, and ADU conversions require plan review, and any work in older homes may trigger updated code requirements for egress windows, smoke detectors, and electrical panels.
Are there historic district restrictions to worry about? ▾
Pleasant Grove does not have a formal historic overlay zone like Salt Lake's Avenues, so exterior changes on older homes generally don't require design review. That said, some properties near Downtown PG sit on lots zoned for higher-density redevelopment, which can actually increase resale value if you keep the existing structure livable.
How much should I budget above the purchase price? ▾
A reasonable rule for Pleasant Grove fixers is 15-30% of purchase price for a moderate cosmetic refresh, and 40-60% for a full gut including kitchens, baths, mechanicals, and roof. Labor costs in Utah County have risen sharply since 2021, so get two or three contractor bids before writing an offer.
Do fixer uppers in PG move quickly? ▾
Distressed and dated homes under $500K still see multiple offers, especially from investors and owner-occupants priced out of newer builds in Saratoga Springs or Lehi. Properties needing major structural work sit longer and have more room for negotiation, particularly if they've been on market 30+ days.
