Townhomes for Sale in Preston, Utah
Preston sits about 25 miles north of Logan on US-91, technically across the Idaho line in Franklin County but firmly tied into Cache Valley's economy and housing market. Townhomes here are a relatively small slice of the inventory — Preston is still mostly detached single-family on larger lots, with agricultural land at the edges of town — but attached product has grown over the last several years as buyers priced out of Logan, Smithfield, and Hyde Park look north for something more affordable. Most of the townhome projects are clustered near the south side of town and along the SR-34 corridor, within a short drive of Preston High, Riverdale Resort's hot springs, and the grocery and hardware anchors on State Street.
Buyers drawn to townhomes in Preston are usually after one of three things: a lower entry price than Cache Valley proper, less yard maintenance heading into hard Northern Utah winters, or a quieter small-town pace within commuting distance of Utah State University and the Logan job market. Winters here are real — expect snow on the ground from December through February and overnight lows that dip well below zero a few times each season — so HOA-covered snow removal and exterior upkeep are genuinely useful, not just a nice-to-have. Inventory turns over slowly, so it's worth setting up alerts if nothing fits today. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market in and around Preston.

Common questions
About townhomes for sale in Preston.
Are there actually townhomes on the market in Preston? ▾
Preston is a small Cache Valley town just over the Idaho line, and townhome inventory here is thin compared to Logan or Smithfield. New attached product does pop up occasionally near the south end of town and along the SR-91 corridor, but most weeks the active count is in the single digits or zero. Check the listings below for what's currently available.
Wait — isn't Preston technically in Idaho? ▾
Yes. Preston sits in Franklin County, Idaho, but it's tightly tied to Utah's Cache Valley economy and shows up on the Northern Utah MLS feeds buyers use. Many residents commute south to Logan or work at Utah-based employers, which is why it appears on Utah real estate searches.
How do townhome prices in Preston compare to Logan? ▾
Preston typically runs 10-20% cheaper than comparable attached product in Logan or North Logan. The trade-off is a longer commute (about 25 minutes to Utah State University) and fewer new-construction options. For buyers priced out of Cache Valley proper, Preston is a real alternative.
Do Preston townhomes have HOAs, and what do they cover? ▾
Most attached projects here carry an HOA in the $100-$250/month range, generally covering exterior maintenance, snow removal, and landscaping — useful given Cache Valley winters that regularly drop a foot or more at a time. Always pull the CC&Rs before writing an offer; smaller projects sometimes have under-funded reserves.
Is Preston a good fit for USU students or staff? ▾
It can work for staff and grad students who want more space for the money and don't mind the drive down US-91. Undergrads typically prefer Logan itself. Winter commute conditions through the canyon stretches near Franklin are worth a test drive before committing.
What's the property tax situation since Preston is in Idaho? ▾
Idaho property taxes in Franklin County generally run lower than Utah's effective rates, and Idaho offers a homeowner's exemption on primary residences. Buyers crossing the state line should also factor in Idaho state income tax rules if they're relocating, not just commuting.
