Single Story Homes for Sale in South Jordan, Utah
Single-story homes — what most Utahns call ramblers — are the hardest product type to find in South Jordan, and the demand reflects it. The city sits in the southwest Salt Lake Valley between the Oquirrh Mountains and the Wasatch, and its growth over the past two decades has skewed heavily toward two-story builds on smaller lots. Ramblers tend to show up in pockets: the established 1990s-era neighborhoods east of Bangerter Highway, custom builds along 10200 South and 11400 South, and the planned Daybreak community on the west side, which has dedicated 55+ sections built specifically around single-level living. Lot sizes, basement square footage, and whether the home has a true main-floor primary suite all vary widely between these areas.
Buyers gravitating toward ramblers in South Jordan are usually one of three groups: downsizers coming out of larger Draper or Sandy two-stories, retirees who want main-floor laundry and no stairs to the bedroom, and younger families who simply prefer the layout. The city's location helps all three — roughly 20 minutes to downtown Salt Lake, 25 to the airport, quick access to FrontRunner at the South Jordan station, and Mountain View Corridor running north-south for west-side commuters. Inventory turns over quickly because single-level supply is genuinely tight, so saved searches and same-day showings matter here more than in other property types.

Common questions
About single story homes in South Jordan.
Which South Jordan neighborhoods have the most single-level homes? ▾
Daybreak has a strong supply of ramblers, especially in the older villages like Eastlake and Founders Park, plus newer 55+ sections around SoDa Row. Outside Daybreak, you'll see single-story builds throughout the older Country Crossing area, parts of River Oaks, and the established neighborhoods near 10400 South and Redwood Road. New construction ramblers also show up in the Holt Ranch and Kennecott Land sections on the west side.
What's the price range for a rambler in South Jordan? ▾
Most single-level homes in South Jordan run from the mid $600Ks for smaller 3-bedroom ramblers up past $1.2M for larger custom builds with finished basements on bigger lots. Daybreak single-stories tend to cluster in the $650K–$900K range depending on village, age, and lake proximity. Homes without a basement generally price lower per square foot than two-story comps.
Are most single-story homes here built with basements? ▾
Yes — the majority of South Jordan ramblers sit on full basements, often unfinished at purchase so buyers can build out the lower level over time. That's a Utah construction norm tied to frost depth and foundation requirements. If you specifically want a true slab-on-grade home with no stairs at all, the inventory is much thinner and worth flagging to your agent.
Is South Jordan a good fit for buyers downsizing or aging in place? ▾
It's one of the more popular Salt Lake County cities for that profile. Daybreak's 55+ sections (Garden Park and similar) are built specifically around single-level living with smaller yards, walkable amenities, and HOA-maintained landscaping. The Mountain View Corridor and Bangerter Highway also give quick access to Intermountain Riverton Hospital and the new Primary Children's campus.
How does HOA coverage affect single-story homes in Daybreak? ▾
Daybreak ramblers carry the standard community HOA (currently around $135/month) which covers front-yard landscaping, parks, trails, and the lake. Some 55+ sub-associations add a second fee that handles snow removal and additional yard maintenance — a real benefit if stairs and shoveling are what you're trying to leave behind. Always check both layers of HOA before writing an offer.
How quickly do single-level listings move in South Jordan? ▾
Ramblers are consistently the fastest-moving product type in South Jordan because demand from downsizers, retirees, and mobility-conscious buyers outpaces supply. Well-priced single-stories under $800K often go under contract within a week or two, even in slower seasons. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.
