Homes Under $500,000 in Stockton, Utah
Stockton sits on the west side of the Oaquirrh Mountains along Rush Valley, about 40 minutes from the Salt Lake Valley through Tooele. It's one of the few pockets of Tooele County where $500K still buys real acreage rather than a standard subdivision lot, which is why buyers priced out of Herriman, Eagle Mountain, and Tooele City itself keep landing here. Most homes under $500K in Stockton are newer-construction rambler or two-story builds on a third-acre to full-acre lots, with a handful of older ranch-style houses from the town's mining-era roots mixed in near the historic core. Well and septic setups are common outside the town's water service area, which buyers should factor into financing and insurance.
The draw here is space and quiet without giving up a manageable commute to Tooele Army Depot, the Kennecott/Rio Tinto operations, or the drive north to SLC and the airport. Winters bring more snow and colder temps than the valley floor since Stockton sits at higher elevation against the mountains, and internet/cell coverage can be spottier than buyers expect coming from suburban Salt Lake — worth checking before writing an offer if remote work matters. Inventory under $500K moves fast when it hits because the price point is rare for lots this size in Tooele County. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

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.
