Investment Properties for Sale in Taylorsville, Utah
Taylorsville sits right in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, bordered by West Valley, Murray, and West Jordan, with quick access to both I-15 and Bangerter Highway. For investors, that location is the whole story: tenants can reach downtown Salt Lake in 20 minutes, the airport in 15, and the tech corridor in Lehi in about half an hour. The housing stock leans toward 1970s and 1980s ramblers and split-entries on quarter-acre lots, plus pockets of newer townhomes near Redwood Road and 5400 South. Many of those ramblers have walkout basements that convert cleanly into legal accessory apartments — a major reason Taylorsville has stayed popular with small landlords running long-term rentals.
Rents in Taylorsville generally track the Salt Lake County median, and the city's mix of Salt Lake Community College students, healthcare workers from nearby Jordan Valley Medical Center, and families tied to Granite School District keeps vacancy low. Property taxes run roughly 0.6% of assessed value, and Taylorsville allows internal ADUs by permit, which opens up house-hack and duplex-conversion plays that aren't available in every valley city. Cap rates here tend to land in the 4.5%–5.5% range on straight long-term rentals, with stronger numbers when a basement unit is added. Listings below include single-family rentals, small multi-family, townhomes, and fixer candidates — browse the active inventory to see what currently pencils out.

Common questions
About investment properties in Taylorsville.
What kinds of investment properties are most common in Taylorsville? ▾
The bulk of the inventory is single-family ramblers and split-entries from the 1970s and 1980s, many with basement apartments already framed or finished. You'll also see townhomes near Redwood Road and 4700 South, plus the occasional small multi-family (duplex through fourplex) tucked into older neighborhoods. True apartment buildings rarely hit the residential MLS — those trade on commercial channels.
Does Taylorsville allow accessory dwelling units? ▾
Yes. Taylorsville permits internal ADUs (basement or attached apartments) in single-family zones with a permit, owner-occupancy in many cases, and standard parking and egress requirements. This makes basement-apartment conversions one of the more common value-add strategies in the city. Detached ADUs are more restricted, so verify zoning with the city before closing on a property planned for a backyard unit.
What rents can I expect on a Taylorsville single-family rental? ▾
As of recent quarters, three-bedroom homes typically rent in the $2,100–$2,600 range, and homes with a separate basement unit can pull a combined $3,000–$3,800 depending on finish level and parking. Townhomes generally land between $1,800 and $2,300. Properties near TRAX stops or Salt Lake Community College tend to lease faster.
Are short-term rentals like Airbnb allowed in Taylorsville? ▾
Taylorsville restricts short-term rentals in residential zones and requires a business license for any nightly rental operation. Most investors here run long-term leases or mid-term furnished rentals (30+ days) targeting traveling nurses and relocating tech workers. Always confirm current code with the city before underwriting an STR strategy.
How do property taxes compare to other Salt Lake County cities? ▾
Taylorsville's effective property tax rate sits around 0.6% of market value for non-primary residences, which is roughly in line with West Valley and Murray and slightly below Salt Lake City proper. Investment properties don't qualify for the 45% primary residence exemption, so expect your tax bill to be noticeably higher than what an owner-occupant on the same street pays.
What should I inspect carefully on older Taylorsville rentals? ▾
Prioritize the sewer line (many homes still have original clay laterals prone to root intrusion), the main panel (Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels show up regularly and insurers flag them), and any basement apartment for permitted egress windows and separate-entry compliance. Older furnaces and polybutylene plumbing are also worth checking before you write the offer.
