Homes Under $300,000 in Roy, Utah
Roy is one of the few Wasatch Front cities where buyers can still realistically shop under $300,000, though the inventory in that band has tightened considerably over the last few years. Most of what shows up at this price point are 1950s–1970s ramblers in the older grid south of 5500 South, two-bedroom townhomes and condos near Riverdale Road, and the occasional manufactured home on a deeded lot. Square footage usually lands between 900 and 1,400 finished feet, and many of these homes still have their original kitchens or single-pane windows — which is exactly why they price where they do. Cosmetic projects are common; structural surprises are less so, since Weber County soils are generally cooperative compared to parts of Davis or Salt Lake.
Location is the real reason this price range gets so much attention. Roy sits ten minutes from Hill Air Force Base's south gate, has its own FrontRunner station with direct rail service to Ogden and downtown Salt Lake, and offers quick I-15 access without Layton or Clearfield pricing. That combination keeps competition steady from military buyers using VA loans, first-time buyers using FHA, and investors looking for rentals near base employment. Sub-$300K listings here typically see multiple offers within the first weekend if they're priced right and broom-clean.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Roy.
What kind of homes can I actually get in Roy under $300,000? ▾
Mostly older 3-bed ramblers around 1,000–1,400 sq ft, townhomes and condos built in the 1980s–2000s, manufactured homes on owned land, and small starter homes near Roy High and Sand Ridge Park. Expect original kitchens, single-pane windows in some, and aging roofs or furnaces in others. Move-in-ready single-family detached homes under $300K are rare and tend to go under contract within days.
Is Roy a good area for VA buyers stationed at Hill AFB? ▾
Yes — Hill's south gate is about 10 minutes from most Roy neighborhoods, and VA loans dominate this price bracket locally. Sellers in Roy are used to VA appraisals and inspections, so it's not the uphill battle it can be in some Wasatch Front cities. Just be ready for competition from other military buyers on anything well-priced.
How fast do sub-$300K homes sell in Roy? ▾
Clean, livable listings under $300K typically go pending within 7–14 days, and multiple offers still happen on the better ones even in slower markets. Fixer-uppers and manufactured homes can sit longer, especially if financing options are limited. Setting up MLS alerts is the only realistic way to catch new inventory before it's gone.
Are there HOA fees to watch for at this price point? ▾
Townhomes and condos in Roy — especially newer builds near 5600 South and around the FrontRunner station — usually carry HOA dues of roughly $150–$275/month. Older detached homes in established Roy neighborhoods are almost always HOA-free. Always check what the HOA covers (exterior, roof, water) because it materially changes your real monthly cost.
What's the property tax situation in Roy? ▾
Roy is in Weber County, and the combined tax rate for an owner-occupied primary residence generally runs around 0.55–0.65% of market value after the 45% primary residence exemption. On a $290,000 home that's roughly $1,600–$1,900 a year — noticeably lower than equivalent homes in Davis or Salt Lake County.
Should I be worried about Hill AFB flight noise? ▾
It depends on the neighborhood. Areas west of 1900 West and closer to the base boundary see more flyover activity, especially during F-35 training cycles. Neighborhoods on the north and west sides of Roy near 5600 South and Midland Drive are noticeably quieter. Drive any property you're serious about at different times of day before writing an offer.
