South Jordan Utah Homes for Sale

South Jordan is the south-valley's master-planned-community anchor — population approximately 85,000 (2024 U.S. Census, growing from ~80,000 in 2022 and ~50,000 in 2010), the home of Daybreak (Utah's largest planned community), and as of April 2025 the home of the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees and their new $140M ballpark at Daybreak Field at America First Square. Where Sandy reads as the established East Bench suburb and Herriman reads as the family-suburb anchor farther south, South Jordan reads as the master-planned, transit-rich, sports-and-entertainment-anchored growth city of the southwest quadrant.

The city's transformation over the past two decades has been one of the most consequential planning stories in Utah. The former Bingham Canyon Mine tailings site — a 4,126-acre stretch of land owned by Kennecott Land (now Rio Tinto's land subsidiary) — was rehabilitated via EPA-approved cleanup and master-planned as Daybreak beginning in 2004. Today Daybreak houses over 12,000 residents and continues building toward a target of 20,000+ residential units. The Larry H. Miller Company assumed development responsibility in 2017, and in 2023 South Jordan added 2,285 additional acres along the Oquirrh foothills to its boundaries, with Kennecott approved to develop up to 11,450 additional dwellings west of Daybreak. The city's growth story is far from finished.

Why Buyers Choose South Jordan, Utah

South Jordan's draw is the combination of new master-planned-community living, strong family-suburb amenities, the new Salt Lake Bees ballpark, and a meaningful Silicon Slopes commute corridor. Key structural reasons:

• Daybreak — Utah's largest master-planned community. 4,126 acres on former Kennecott land, ~12,000 current residents, target of 20,000+ residential units. Walkable village centers, Oquirrh Lake (~120 acres in the heart of the community), award-winning schools, extensive parks and trails, and the new sports/entertainment district anchored by the Salt Lake Bees ballpark. Browse Daybreak homes for current listings.
• Salt Lake Bees baseball at Daybreak Field. The Triple-A Pacific Coast League Bees moved from their former Salt Lake City location to Daybreak Field at America First Square in April 2025. The $140M privately funded ballpark (built by the Larry H. Miller Co) seats 6,500 with capacity up to 8,000 including berm and suites. UTA built the South Jordan Downtown station on the TRAX Red Line to serve the stadium. The ballpark anchors Downtown Daybreak's growing sports and entertainment district.
• Bingham High School (the Miners). Founded 1908 in Bingham Canyon, relocated to current South Jordan campus in 1975 (2160 W 10400 S), part of Jordan School District. ~2,461 students grades 10-12. Strong athletic history (100+ state and regional championships); particularly renowned baseball program.
• Strong family-suburb amenities. South Jordan was named #1 in Utah for raising a family by Niche in 2024, with strong residential schools, low crime, family parks, and master-planned-community walkability throughout Daybreak.
• Silicon Slopes corridor proximity. Most Silicon Slopes tech employers (Adobe, Microsoft, Qualtrics, Ancestry) are 15-25 minutes south in Lehi, Draper, and American Fork. South Jordan is one of the most-favored "live in master-planned community, work in Silicon Slopes" residences in the metro.
• The District commercial center. Major mixed-use commercial development at 11400 South and Bangerter Highway with Costco, Cabela's, Old Navy, dozens of restaurants and chain retailers.
• TRAX Red Line runs the length of the city's western corridor (3 stations: Daybreak Parkway, South Jordan Parkway, and the new South Jordan Downtown), connecting north to the University of Utah and downtown Salt Lake City.
• Salt Lake Community College Jordan Campus sits in South Jordan, serving both traditional college students and adult learners.

Buyers who find South Jordan a weaker fit are usually those who want established, mature-tree-lined inner-suburb character (most of the city is post-2000 construction), who want Canyons School District (South Jordan is in Jordan SD), or who want closer canyon-mouth access for skiing (the Cottonwood canyons are 25-35 minutes northeast). Those buyers typically look to Sandy, Holladay, or Cottonwood Heights instead.

Top Neighborhoods in South Jordan

Daybreak (The Master-Planned Anchor)

Daybreak is so large it's effectively a city-within-a-city — multiple sub-villages, each with its own character. The most-searched Daybreak community pages:

• Daybreak — umbrella community page covering the broader development. Most search traffic starts here.
• Daybreak Village — central village neighborhoods including original Founders Park area, with walkable streets, alley-loaded homes, and access to Oquirrh Lake.
• Downtown Daybreak — the new mixed-use sports and entertainment district anchored by the Bees ballpark, with continued residential and commercial buildout.
• Kennecott and Kennecott Daybreak — the development naming under which much of the original Daybreak land was platted.

Established South Jordan

• Glenmoor — established planned community in the eastern half of the city, mid-tier housing stock with family demographics.
• Springhouse Village — planned community with family-stable demographics.
• Country Estates — larger-lot established neighborhood with family homes.
• Summerlane — established planned community.
• Jordan Heights — established pocket of single-family homes.

South Jordan Home Prices in 2026

• Median sale price: $615,000 (last completed month)
• Median time on market: 25 days
• Sale-to-list ratio: 99.4%
• Active listings: 465 homes available

South Jordan's market is one of the metro's most active by monthly sold count, reflecting Daybreak's ongoing construction phasing and the high transaction volume of a fast-growing master-planned community. Sale-to-list ratios near 99% are typical for entry and mid-tier inventory. Newer Daybreak inventory often commands a premium per square foot over equivalent older-suburb stock because of the walkability, lake access, and amenity package; mature pre-Daybreak South Jordan neighborhoods (Glenmoor, Country Estates, Summerlane) typically trade at lower per-square-foot pricing.

Why Zillow estimates can miss the mark here

Utah is a non-disclosure state and South Jordan's housing-stock spread amplifies algorithmic variance: a 2024 alley-loaded Daybreak townhome, a 2008 Daybreak single-family, and a 1995 Glenmoor rambler can all sit within the same ZIP. A local-agent comparative market analysis via the free home valuation page is meaningfully more accurate than any algorithm.

Daybreak: Utah's Largest Master-Planned Community

Daybreak is more than a neighborhood — it's a planning case study and a defining feature of South Jordan's identity. Key facts:

• 4,126 acres on former Bingham Canyon Mine tailings land, originally owned by Kennecott Land (Rio Tinto's land subsidiary), with EPA-approved environmental cleanup.
• Broke ground in 2004; first homes occupied in 2005.
• Currently ~12,000 residents with continued buildout toward a target of 20,000+ residential units and approximately 9.1 million square feet of commercial space.
• Developed by Larry H. Miller Company since 2017 (Kennecott Land's development arm divested).
• Oquirrh Lake — ~120-acre central recreational lake with paddle-board access, walking paths, and parks.
• Award-winning schools — Eastlake Elementary, Aspen Elementary, and Daybreak Elementary all in or near the development, with strong reputations.
• SoDa Row, Downtown Daybreak, and the village commercial centers — multiple walkable mixed-use districts.
• The new Bees ballpark at America First Square opened April 8, 2025 — anchoring Downtown Daybreak's sports and entertainment district.
• TRAX Red Line with Daybreak Parkway, South Jordan Parkway, and South Jordan Downtown stations.
• Extensive walking and biking trail network — Daybreak's master plan prioritized walkability and active transportation in ways most American suburbs don't.

In 2023, South Jordan annexed an additional 2,285 acres along the Oquirrh foothills west of Daybreak, with Kennecott approved to develop up to 11,450 additional dwellings. The growth story is genuinely far from finished — Daybreak and its successor development west of it could collectively house 100,000+ residents at buildout.

Salt Lake Bees at Daybreak Field

The Triple-A Pacific Coast League Salt Lake Bees moved their home games from the former Salt Lake City stadium to the new Daybreak Field at America First Square in April 2025. Key facts:

• $140 million privately funded ballpark built by the Larry H. Miller Company.
• 6,500 fixed seats; 8,000 capacity with berm and suite areas.
• Opening day: April 8, 2025, with sold-out crowds for the home opener.
• UTA built a new TRAX Red Line station (South Jordan Downtown) directly serving the ballpark.
• Centerpiece of Downtown Daybreak's sports and entertainment district, with continued surrounding residential, commercial, and dining buildout.

For Daybreak residents the practical effect is significant: home games walkable for many southwest-Daybreak homes, and the surrounding entertainment district adds a meaningful lifestyle amenity that distinguishes South Jordan from peer south-valley cities.

Schools and Higher Education

South Jordan is served by the Jordan School District (different from Canyons SD, which serves Sandy, Draper, and the East Bench suburbs — the 2007/2009 district split kept South Jordan in Jordan). Jordan SD operates eight high schools.

• Bingham High School (2160 W 10400 S) — South Jordan's primary high school. Founded 1908 in Bingham Canyon (current location since 1975). The Miners — named for the Bingham Copper Mine that dominated the area's economy historically. ~2,461 students grades 10-12. Notable athletic excellence with over 100 state and regional championships; baseball is particularly strong.
• Herriman High School and Mountain Ridge High School serve portions of the city's southern edge.
• Eastlake Elementary, Aspen Elementary, Daybreak Elementary serve the Daybreak development, all with strong reputations.

For families preferring private school, options include The Waterford School (K-12 classical curriculum in Sandy) and Juan Diego Catholic High School (in Draper). At the post-secondary level, Salt Lake Community College Jordan Campus (3491 W Wights Fort Rd in adjacent West Jordan, with extension presence in South Jordan) anchors regional community-college access.

Crime and Safety

South Jordan consistently reports among the lowest crime rates in Utah for cities its size. Daybreak's planned-community design contributes to low residential crime — well-lit streets, defensible-space design principles, active neighborhood watch culture. The city's overall FBI Uniform Crime Reporting numbers compare favorably to peer Utah cities including Sandy, Herriman, and Draper. South Jordan was ranked among the top 10 safest cities in Utah by multiple safety-research organizations in recent years.

Healthcare

• Intermountain Riverton Hospital (3741 W 12600 S, Riverton) — full-service regional hospital, 5-10 minutes from most South Jordan neighborhoods.
• Mountain Point Medical Center (Lehi) — full-service hospital 15-20 minutes south.
• Intermountain Medical Center (Murray, 20-25 min north) — flagship Intermountain Health hospital and only Level I trauma / Comprehensive Stroke Center in Utah.
• Specialty offices and urgent care abundant throughout the city.

Tech, the Economy, and the South Jordan Job Market

South Jordan sits in the middle of the Silicon Slopes corridor. Most Silicon Slopes tech employers are 15-25 minutes south in Lehi, Draper, and American Fork — Adobe, Microsoft, Qualtrics, Ancestry, Domo, and the rest. South Jordan-headquartered employers include the Larry H. Miller Company's expanded Daybreak operations, Merit Medical Systems, and a growing cluster of regional financial and professional services firms. Draper immediately east hosts Pluralsight's historic headquarters (the company moved its corporate HQ to Texas in 2024 but maintains Utah operations).

Per the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, the Wasatch Front is projected to add ~600,000 residents between 2024-2050, with a significant share landing in the Lehi-to-Provo corridor that South Jordan anchors at its north end. The city is one of the most growth-positioned cities in the metro for the coming decade.

Food, Dining, and Shopping

South Jordan's retail and dining clusters are anchored by:

• The District (11400 South / Bangerter Highway) — major mixed-use development with Costco, Cabela's, Old Navy, dozens of restaurants and chains.
• SoDa Row (Daybreak's main commercial district) — Boba King, Even Stevens, Mr. Shabu, multiple coffee shops, family restaurants, and the Saturday farmers' market.
• Downtown Daybreak's emerging entertainment district around the Bees ballpark — continued buildout of restaurants and retail.
• Big-box and grocery: Costco, Sam's Club, Target, Smith's, Trader Joe's, and Walmart all have South Jordan or adjacent locations.

Public Transportation and the Commute

South Jordan has more transit than most south-valley suburbs:

• TRAX Red Line — three stations within the city (Daybreak Parkway, South Jordan Parkway, South Jordan Downtown), connecting north to the University of Utah and downtown Salt Lake City. The South Jordan Downtown station opened with the Bees ballpark in 2025.
• FrontRunner commuter rail station at South Jordan / 10600 South — connecting to Ogden (north) and Provo (south).
• UTA buses serve the major corridors.

Off-peak drive times from a central South Jordan neighborhood:

• Lehi (Adobe / Microsoft Silicon Slopes campuses): 15-25 min
• Downtown Salt Lake City: 25-30 min
• University of Utah: 30-35 min
• Provo: 30-40 min
• Salt Lake City International Airport: 25-30 min
• Alta or Snowbird (Little Cottonwood Canyon): 35-45 min
• Brighton or Solitude (Big Cottonwood Canyon): 35-45 min
• Park City via I-80: 45-55 min

Family Life and Recreation

• Daybreak Field at America First Square — Salt Lake Bees home games April through September.
• Mountain America Stadium — Real Salt Lake's training facility in nearby Sandy.
• South Jordan Towne Center, City Hall, and parks — extensive city park network throughout.
• Daybreak's extensive trail network — walking, biking, jogging throughout the community.
• Loveland Living Planet Aquarium (Draper, 5-10 min south) — major family destination.

Growth and Future Outlook

South Jordan is one of the most growth-positioned cities in the entire Wasatch Front metro. Key forward-looking signals:

• Continued Daybreak buildout — toward a target of 20,000+ residential units, with continued residential, commercial, and entertainment-district phasing through the 2030s.
• 2023 annexation of 2,285 acres west of Daybreak — Kennecott approved for up to 11,450 new dwellings, effectively doubling the developable land in the city.
• Downtown Daybreak entertainment district — continued buildout around the Bees ballpark with restaurants, retail, and residential.
• Wasatch Front growth pressure — per the Gardner Institute, the metro adds ~600,000 residents through 2050. South Jordan's central south-valley location captures meaningful share.
• 2034 Winter Olympics — South Jordan is not a primary venue site but sits in the metro's general demand halo.

The Bottom Line

South Jordan is the right fit for buyers who want new master-planned-community living, walkable village centers, strong Jordan-District schools (Bingham High in particular), the new Salt Lake Bees ballpark in the boundary, and the Silicon Slopes commute corridor. Buyers willing to trade established mature-tree-lined inner-suburb character get newer construction at scale, lake access, ballpark walkability, and continued growth-driven appreciation upside.

Buyers wanting established East Bench character, Canyons School District, or closer Cottonwood canyon ski-resort access typically find better fits in surrounding cities. Compare with Sandy (East Bench established, Canyons schools), Draper (Silicon Slopes adjacency, Corner Canyon High), Herriman (newer family suburb, larger lots), West Jordan (more affordable adjacent), Riverton (more rural-edge, lower density), and Bluffdale (newer southwest growth).
