Homes Under $300,000 in Tooele, Utah
Tooele sits about 35 minutes west of Salt Lake City off I-80, and for years it was the go-to spot for buyers priced out of the Salt Lake Valley. The sub-$300K bracket here usually means one of three things: an older single-family home in the original Tooele City grid (think 1940s–1970s builds near Vine Street and the historic downtown), a townhome or condo in newer developments like Overlake or Stansbury Park, or a manufactured home on its own lot in Erda or Stockton. Stansbury and Erda lean newer and tend to push above $300K for detached houses, so most of what shows up under that number will be attached product or smaller two-bedroom starters that need some updating. Tooele County School District serves the area, Dugway and Tooele Army Depot are major employers, and the commute to the SLC airport runs roughly 40 minutes outside of rush hour.
Inventory in this price band moves in cycles tied to interest rates — when rates spike, more entry-level homes sit long enough to negotiate on; when rates dip, well-priced starters in Tooele City go under contract in a week or two. Buyers should expect smaller square footage (often 900–1,400 sq ft), original kitchens or baths in many cases, and HOA fees on the townhome options. Cash buyers and FHA buyers both compete heavily in this range. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market under $300K in Tooele.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Tooele.
What kind of homes can I actually get under $300K in Tooele? ▾
Most listings in this range are 2-3 bedroom ramblers built between the 1940s and 1980s, manufactured homes on owned lots, and smaller townhomes or condos. Square footage typically runs 900-1,400 sq ft. Newer construction at this price is rare — when it appears, it's usually a townhome in Overlake or a small condo.
Is Tooele a reasonable commute to Salt Lake City? ▾
Yes, but plan for traffic. I-80 over the Lake Point pass into Salt Lake runs 35-45 minutes off-peak and can stretch to an hour during rush hour or winter storms. Many buyers in this price range work at the Tooele Army Depot, US Magnesium, or the Salt Lake International Center, which cuts the drive significantly.
Are fixer-uppers common at this price point? ▾
Fairly common. A meaningful share of sub-$300K Tooele homes need updates — older roofs, original windows, dated kitchens, or aging furnaces. FHA 203(k) and Fannie Mae HomeStyle renovation loans are worth asking your lender about if you're open to putting in some work.
How does Tooele compare to Grantsville or Stansbury Park on price? ▾
Tooele City has the deepest sub-$300K inventory. Grantsville trends slightly higher because lots are larger and the town has a more rural feel. Stansbury Park's older sections occasionally dip under $300K for townhomes or smaller homes, but newer construction there typically starts in the mid-$400s.
What property taxes and HOA costs should I expect? ▾
Tooele County property tax rates are competitive — primary residences get the 45% residential exemption, so effective rates run roughly 0.55-0.75% of market value. HOA fees only apply in specific subdivisions like parts of Overlake or Stansbury; most older Tooele City homes have no HOA.
Will my offer face bidding wars in this price range? ▾
It depends on condition and timing. Clean, move-in-ready homes under $300K still draw multiple offers within days, especially in spring. Homes needing work sit longer and leave room to negotiate. Getting fully underwritten pre-approval before you tour gives you a real edge.
