Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in South Jordan, Utah
South Jordan sits in the southwest Salt Lake Valley, anchored by the master-planned Daybreak community, the Oquirrh Mountains to the west, and quick I-15 access to downtown Salt Lake and the airport. Buyers shopping here for income-producing or part-time-residence properties should know up front that South Jordan tightly regulates nightly rentals — the city restricts short-term rentals under 30 days in most residential zones, and many Daybreak villages add their own HOA rental caps on top of that. What does work well, and what most investor-buyers actually pursue here, are 30-day-plus furnished stays aimed at traveling medical staff at Jordan Valley and Intermountain Riverton, corporate relocators at Merit Medical and Mountain America's headquarters, and ski-season tenants who want valley pricing with canyon access.
The lifestyle pitch is real: Oquirrh Lake and the Daybreak trail system, SoDa Row's restaurants, the Mountain View Corridor cutting commute times to Lehi's Silicon Slopes, and a 35-minute drive to Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon resorts. Median single-family prices generally run in the high $600Ks to low $800Ks, with townhomes and condos providing lower entry points for buyers who want a lock-and-leave second home or a furnished rental near TRAX. Before writing an offer with rental income in mind, verify zoning with South Jordan's planning division and read the specific HOA's rental policy — the rules vary block to block.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in South Jordan.
Does South Jordan allow short-term vacation rentals? ▾
South Jordan's municipal code restricts short-term rentals (under 30 days) in most residential zones, and the city has actively enforced against unpermitted Airbnb-style operations. Before buying with STR income in mind, confirm the property's zoning and any HOA covenants directly with the city's planning department — many Daybreak and Kennecott-area communities also have their own rental caps.
Are there any neighborhoods in South Jordan where short-term rentals are easier? ▾
Enforcement is city-wide, but mid-term furnished rentals (30+ days) are generally allowed and are popular near the Mountain View Corridor and close to Mountain America's campus, Merit Medical, and the Jordan Valley Medical Center. Traveling nurses, relocating tech workers, and corporate contractors make up most of the demand here.
What's the typical price range for a home suitable as a furnished rental in South Jordan? ▾
Most homes used for 30-day-plus furnished rentals fall in the $550K–$850K range, with townhomes in Daybreak on the lower end and single-family homes near The District or Oquirrh Lake closer to the top. Properties with a separate basement entrance or accessory unit command a premium because they allow owner-occupancy with rental income.
How close is South Jordan to Salt Lake City International Airport and the ski resorts? ▾
South Jordan sits about 20 miles south of SLC International (roughly 25 minutes via I-15) and 35–45 minutes from Solitude, Brighton, Snowbird, and Alta via Little Cottonwood and Big Cottonwood Canyons. That positioning is why corporate and medical travelers prefer the area — close to everything without downtown traffic.
Can I run a legal nightly rental if the property has an ADU or basement apartment? ▾
An accessory dwelling unit doesn't automatically grant short-term rental rights in South Jordan. ADUs must be registered with the city and are typically restricted to long-term tenancy. That said, a legal ADU is a strong income asset for monthly furnished stays, which is the more reliable rental model in this market anyway.
What should I check before closing on a property I plan to rent out? ▾
Pull the HOA's CC&Rs and rental cap status (Daybreak villages each track this separately), verify zoning with South Jordan planning, and check whether a business license will be issued for your intended use. Lenders also treat investment properties differently — expect 20–25% down and a rate roughly 0.5–0.75% above an owner-occupied loan.
