Homes Under $500,000 in Syracuse, Utah
Syracuse sits on the north shore of the Great Salt Lake in Davis County, and it's grown from a quiet farming town into one of the busier bedroom communities for Hill Air Force Base, Freeport Center, and the northern Salt Lake Valley. The under-$500K segment here is where a lot of first-move-up buyers and military families land — close enough to the base for a 15-minute commute, with Legacy Parkway giving a clean shot south to Salt Lake. Homes in this price band are typically 3 or 4 bedrooms, often with unfinished basement space that lets buyers add equity over time, and you'll see a mix of early-2000s subdivisions off Bluff Road and newer townhome product near Antelope Drive.
What you're trading off at this price point is mostly lot size and view premium. The lakefront-adjacent lots and larger half-acre parcels on the west side of town tend to clear $600K, so most sub-$500K homes sit on standard suburban lots in walkable neighborhoods near Syracuse Junior High, Bluff Ridge Elementary, and the Centennial Park trail system. Davis School District schools and the short drive to Antelope Island State Park are two of the bigger draws buyers mention. Inventory in this range moves faster than the broader Syracuse market, so well-priced homes with updated kitchens or finished basements rarely sit long.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Syracuse.
What kind of home can I actually get in Syracuse under $500K? ▾
Most sub-$500K listings in Syracuse are 3-4 bedroom homes built between the late 1990s and mid-2010s, typically 1,800-2,800 finished square feet on a 0.15-0.25 acre lot. Townhomes and twin homes near Antelope Drive and 2000 West tend to come in well under that ceiling, while detached single-family on the west side closer to the Jordanelle Parkway extension and Bluff Road push closer to it.
Is $500K considered entry-level in Syracuse right now? ▾
It's closer to the middle of the market than entry-level. Syracuse's median sale price has hovered in the upper $500Ks to low $600Ks over the last couple of years, so anything under $500K is below median and tends to move quickly, especially well-kept homes near Syracuse Junior High and Buffalo Point Elementary.
What neighborhoods in Syracuse usually have homes under $500K? ▾
Older sections off 1000 West and 2000 West, the area around Centennial Park, and parts of the Bluff Road corridor are where most sub-$500K inventory shows up. Newer construction in the Bridges or near the lakefront generally prices above this range.
Are there new-construction options under $500K in Syracuse? ▾
Occasionally, but they're usually townhomes or smaller-footprint single-family from builders working the infill lots near Antelope Drive. Detached new builds with a full yard are rare under $500K here — most new detached product starts in the $550K-$650K range.
What are property taxes like on a $450K Syracuse home? ▾
Davis County's effective rate runs roughly 0.55-0.70% for primary residences after the residential exemption, so expect somewhere around $2,500-$3,200 per year on a home in this price band. Confirm the exact amount on the county parcel record before writing an offer.
How's the commute to Hill Air Force Base or Salt Lake from this price range? ▾
Syracuse is one of the closer affordable options to Hill AFB — most sub-$500K homes are 10-15 minutes from the south gate. Downtown Salt Lake runs about 35 minutes via Legacy Parkway outside of rush hour, and the Clearfield FrontRunner station is a 10-minute drive for train commuters.
