Homes Under $300,000 in South Salt Lake, Utah
South Salt Lake is one of the few Salt Lake County cities where a budget under $300K still gets you into a real conversation. The county median sits well north of $500K, so what's available here is mostly condos, townhomes, and older bungalows or ramblers from the 1940s through the 1970s, many in the Central Pointe, Millcreek-border, and Granite-area pockets. Expect roughly 700 to 1,200 square feet in a detached home, and newer townhomes or condos in the $220K to $299K range, often with HOA dues to factor in.
The appeal is location. South Salt Lake sits about 10 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City and roughly 15 minutes from the airport, with the S-Line streetcar, TRAX stops, and I-15 and I-80 close by. The Sugar House and State Street corridors are minutes away for restaurants and work. Winters bring inversions and snow, summers run hot and dry, and older homes often need updated windows, roofs, or HVAC, so inspections matter. Many buyers here are first-timers, commuters, or investors eyeing rental demand. Down payment assistance programs through Utah Housing can stretch a budget further.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in South Salt Lake.
What kinds of homes are actually available under $300K in South Salt Lake? ▾
Mostly condos and townhomes from the 1970s–1990s, manufactured homes in lot-rent or owned-lot parks, and a small number of older single-family homes needing work. Newer-construction studios and one-bedrooms along State Street occasionally land in this range as well. Pure single-family detached homes in move-in condition under $300K are rare here.
Are HOA fees a big factor at this price point? ▾
Yes — most sub-$300K options are attached housing, so HOA dues typically run $150–$350 a month. Check what's covered (water, sewer, trash, exterior maintenance, roof reserves) because a low-priced unit with a thin reserve fund can mean special assessments later.
Can I use an FHA or VA loan on homes in this range? ▾
FHA and VA both work well in South Salt Lake under $300K, and both are comfortably under the 2024 FHA loan limit for Salt Lake County. The bigger hurdle is condo approval — not every complex is FHA/VA-approved, so confirm the project status before you write an offer. Manufactured homes have their own age and foundation requirements.
How's the commute and transit access from South Salt Lake? ▾
It's one of the better-connected spots in the valley. TRAX Blue Line stops at Central Pointe and Millcreek, the S-Line streetcar runs east toward Sugar House, and I-15 and I-80 are both within a few minutes. Downtown SLC is a 10-minute drive or a 15-minute train ride.
Which school district covers South Salt Lake? ▾
The majority of South Salt Lake is in Granite School District, with schools like Woodrow Wilson Elementary, Granite Park Junior High, and Cottonwood High serving different parts of the city. A small northern sliver falls into Salt Lake City School District, so verify boundaries by address.
Is South Salt Lake a good rental investment at this price? ▾
Investors do watch this segment because rents in the area support cash flow on lower-priced condos and small homes, especially near TRAX. Just confirm the HOA allows rentals — several complexes cap the number of rental units or require an owner-occupancy period before leasing.
