Homes Under $500,000 in Pleasant Grove, Utah
Pleasant Grove sits along the base of the Wasatch Range in northern Utah County, about 35 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City and 10 minutes from Provo, which puts it firmly in commuter territory for Silicon Slopes employers like Adobe, Qualtrics, and Ancestry in Lehi and American Fork. Under $500K here mostly means townhomes, condos, and older single-family homes in the flatter grid neighborhoods near Locust Elementary and Grovecrest, rather than the newer subdivisions climbing the benches toward Timpanogos, where lot size and mountain views push prices well past that mark. Older brick ramblers and 1970s-90s split-levels on the west side of Pleasant Grove still turn up under $500K, especially ones needing cosmetic work.
Inventory at this price point moves fast because Alpine School District draws young families who want in before prices climb further north toward Alpine and Highland. Townhome communities near State Street and 100 West give buyers a lower-maintenance entry point with HOA-covered exteriors and shared amenities, while a stretch of smaller single-family lots east of I-15 occasionally offers a starter home with a real yard. Property taxes run modest by Wasatch Front standards, and most of these homes are a short drive to Battle Creek trailhead access for anyone who wants mountain time without a mountain price tag.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Pleasant Grove.
What kind of home can I actually get in Pleasant Grove under $500K? ▾
Most of the inventory at this price is townhomes and twin homes from communities built since 2010, usually 1,400–2,000 finished square feet with 3 bedrooms. Detached single-family homes under $500K still show up but are typically older 1970s–1990s ramblers needing updates, or smaller homes on tight lots. Newer detached construction in PG has largely moved above the $550K mark.
How fast do homes under $500K sell in Pleasant Grove? ▾
Move-in-ready listings in this price band usually go under contract within 10–14 days, and well-priced townhomes often see multiple offers. Homes that sit longer almost always have a specific issue — deferred maintenance, an awkward floor plan, or a busy street location. Being pre-approved and ready to tour within 48 hours of a new listing makes a real difference.
Which schools serve homes in this price range? ▾
Pleasant Grove falls entirely within Alpine School District. Depending on the exact address, elementary feeders include Grovecrest, Manila, Central, and Mountain Trails, with most homes feeding into Pleasant Grove Junior High and Pleasant Grove High School. A few neighborhoods on the south end feed into Lone Peak High instead.
Are HOA fees common at this price point? ▾
Yes — almost any townhome or twin home under $500K will have an HOA, typically $150–$250 monthly covering exterior maintenance, landscaping, and sometimes snow removal. Detached single-family homes in older PG neighborhoods generally have no HOA at all, which is part of why they hold their value well.
How does Pleasant Grove compare to American Fork or Lindon at this price? ▾
Pleasant Grove tends to price slightly below American Fork for comparable square footage and slightly above Lindon, mostly because of school boundaries and proximity to the freeway. PG also has more older housing stock than Saratoga Springs or Eagle Mountain, so under $500K you'll see more 1980s–1990s homes here than in the newer west-side cities.
Is it worth waiting for prices to drop further? ▾
Pleasant Grove prices softened modestly in 2022–2023 but have held steady since, supported by tech-corridor employment and limited new construction inside city limits. Most local agents don't expect meaningful price drops in the sub-$500K range — if anything, that ceiling buys less house each year as entry-level inventory thins out.
