Single Story Homes for Sale in Riverton, Utah
Riverton sits in the southwest corner of the Salt Lake Valley, and single-story homes here tend to fall into two camps: original ramblers built in the 1980s and 90s on quarter-acre-plus lots along Redwood Road and 13400 South, and newer single-level builds in master-planned pockets like Riverton Ranches, Hidden Oaks, and the communities west of Mountain View Corridor. Lot sizes in Riverton run larger than what you'll see in Draper or South Jordan, which is part of why ranchers held on here — there was room to build wide instead of tall. Expect main-floor square footage in the 1,800–3,200 range, with many homes adding finished basements that effectively double the living space without adding a flight of stairs to daily life.
Demand for single-level living in Riverton is driven by two distinct groups: retirees downsizing from larger Wasatch Front homes who want to stay close to grandkids in Herriman and Bluffdale, and growing families who simply prefer the layout. Proximity to Mountain View Village, the Bangerter Highway commute to tech jobs in Lehi, and Jordan School District schools keeps the buyer pool wide. Pricing typically runs from the mid $500s for older ramblers needing updates up past $1.2M for newer custom single-levels on larger lots.

Common questions
About single story homes in Riverton.
Are single-story homes more expensive per square foot in Riverton? ▾
Yes, typically 10–20% more per finished square foot than comparable two-stories. Single-level construction requires a larger foundation and roof for the same livable space, and the demand from downsizers keeps prices firm. The premium is most noticeable on newer builds west of Mountain View Corridor.
Do most single-story homes in Riverton have basements? ▾
The majority do. Riverton's soil and water table generally support full basements, and builders have long used them to add bedrooms and rec space without going up a second floor. Walkout basements show up on lots with grade changes, particularly on the bench areas near the Jordan River corridor.
Which Riverton neighborhoods have the most single-level inventory? ▾
Older ramblers cluster around the original townsite near 12600 South and 1300 West, plus established areas off Redwood Road. Newer single-story construction is concentrated in Riverton Ranches, Hidden Oaks, and the developments along 13400 South west of Bangerter. Custom single-levels on half-acre-plus lots tend to appear in pockets near the Jordan River parkway.
What's the typical lot size for a Riverton rambler? ▾
Most older single-story homes sit on 0.20 to 0.50 acres, with some original properties running closer to a full acre. That's noticeably larger than what you'll see in newer South Jordan or Herriman subdivisions, where single-levels often sit on 0.15-acre lots.
Are HOAs common with single-story homes here? ▾
It depends on the neighborhood. Older established areas usually have no HOA, while newer master-planned communities often do, with dues running roughly $30–$100/month. Active-adult or 55+ single-level communities, when you find them, carry higher dues that cover landscaping and snow removal.
How quickly do single-level homes sell in Riverton? ▾
Well-priced ramblers in move-in condition tend to go under contract faster than comparable two-stories — often within two weeks in a balanced market. The downsizer demand is steady year-round, and inventory of true single-level homes (no stairs to the main living areas) is consistently tight across the southwest valley.
