Homes Under $500,000 in Stockton, Utah
Stockton is a small, tight-knit town tucked into Tooele County's Rush Valley, roughly 45 miles southwest of Salt Lake City. At just over 600 residents, it sits at an elevation near 5,000 feet, which means four genuine seasons — warm, dry summers in the mid-80s°F and snowy winters that keep the town quiet and uncrowded. What draws buyers here is simple: the price-to-square-footage ratio is hard to match anywhere this close to the Wasatch Front. For under $500,000, shoppers in Stockton can realistically find single-family homes with larger lot sizes than anything comparable in Salt Lake or even Tooele city proper — often with views of the Oquirrh Mountains or out across the open valley floor. The town sits minutes from the Ophir Canyon recreational area and is close enough to Tooele for everyday errands, with Costco, Walmart, and most major services about 15–20 minutes north.
Homes priced under $500K in Stockton tend to range from modest starter homes to mid-size family residences, and many sit on generous parcels where outbuildings, gardens, or small-scale agricultural uses are feasible. Because the overall inventory in Stockton is limited at any given time, new listings at this price point tend to attract serious attention quickly — especially from buyers priced out of the Salt Lake Valley who are willing to trade commute time for more land and lower monthly payments. Tooele County School District serves the area, and the commute corridor along SR-36 connects residents to I-80 for access to SLC.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Stockton.
What kind of home can I actually get in Stockton for under $500K? ▾
Most listings in this range are 3-4 bedroom single-family homes between roughly 1,400 and 2,400 square feet, often on lots of a quarter acre or larger. You'll also see some manufactured homes on land and the occasional fixer on acreage. Compared to Tooele or Stansbury Park, the same budget tends to stretch to more land here.
How long is the commute from Stockton to Salt Lake City? ▾
Plan on about 55-65 minutes to downtown SLC via SR-36 and I-80, depending on traffic at the Lake Point interchange. Commutes to the Tooele Army Depot, Stansbury Park, or Lake Point industrial jobs run 15-30 minutes. Winter weather over the pass can add time, so a reliable vehicle matters.
Can I keep horses or livestock on Stockton properties in this price range? ▾
Many lots in and around Stockton are zoned to allow horses, chickens, and other livestock, but it varies by parcel. Always confirm zoning with Tooele County before assuming — some subdivisions have CC&Rs that restrict animals even when county zoning would allow them.
Is water a concern when buying in Stockton? ▾
It can be. Some properties are on culinary water through Stockton Town, while others rely on private wells with separate water rights. Secondary (irrigation) water isn't universal here. Make sure your offer addresses water shares and well status, especially on larger lots.
How does Stockton compare to Tooele or Erda for buyers under $500K? ▾
Stockton typically prices a bit lower than Tooele proper and noticeably lower than Erda, which has trended toward larger custom homes. The trade-off is fewer services in town — most shopping, schools beyond elementary, and medical visits happen in Tooele, about 10 minutes north.
How much inventory is usually available under $500K in Stockton? ▾
Stockton is a small market, so active listings under $500K often number in the single digits at any given time. New listings can sit briefly or move fast depending on condition and lot. Setting up an automated search is the most practical way to catch new ones early.
