Investment Properties for Sale in West Jordan, Utah
West Jordan sits in the southwest quadrant of the Salt Lake Valley and remains one of the most practical places along the Wasatch Front to buy a rental. The city has roughly 117,000 residents, a deep inventory of 1990s and 2000s single-family homes built on standard lots, and steady tenant demand pulled in by Mountain View Corridor employers, the Jordan Landing retail and office node, and easy commutes to the Silicon Slopes tech corridor 15 minutes south. Median single-family prices typically run in the upper $400s to mid $500s — meaningfully below Draper or South Jordan — which is what keeps the rent-to-price math working for buy-and-hold investors.
Neighborhood matters a lot here. Older sections near 7000 South and Redwood Road tend to deliver better cash flow but need closer inspection on plumbing and roofs, while newer pockets around Jordan Hills, Glenmoor, and the Highlands attract long-tenured family renters in the Jordan and Granite school districts. Townhome communities along the 5600 West corridor work well for hands-off owners who want HOA-handled exteriors. The listings below are filtered to homes and small multi-family properties with strong rental potential — duplexes, homes with finished basement apartments, ADU-friendly lots, and turnkey single-family rentals. Browse the active inventory to see what's currently on the market and where the numbers actually pencil.

Common questions
About investment properties in West Jordan.
What kinds of investment properties are available in West Jordan? ▾
The MLS here regularly includes single-family rentals, townhomes and condos in HOA communities, small multi-family (duplexes and the occasional fourplex), and homes with legal or unfinished basement apartments that can be converted into accessory units. Most are mid-1990s through 2010s tract construction, with some older homes near 7800 South and the historic core that work well for value-add plays.
What rents can I expect in West Jordan right now? ▾
Three-bedroom single-family homes generally rent in the $2,000–$2,600 range, four-bedroom homes with a basement push $2,400–$3,000, and townhomes typically land between $1,700 and $2,200. A legal basement apartment can add $1,100–$1,500 on top of the main-level rent if it has a separate entrance and meets city requirements.
Does West Jordan allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs)? ▾
Yes. West Jordan permits internal ADUs in owner-occupied single-family homes through a registration process, and the city has been one of the more straightforward Salt Lake County municipalities to work with. Detached ADUs are more restricted. Always confirm current zoning and parking requirements with the West Jordan Planning Division before closing.
Is West Jordan a strong long-term rental market? ▾
Vacancy across the south Salt Lake Valley has stayed tight for years, driven by jobs at the Jordan Landing corridor, the Mountain View Corridor industrial parks, and proximity to the Bingham Canyon mine and tech employers in Lehi and South Jordan. Tenant demand for 3-bed homes near Jordan School District elementaries is consistently strong.
What should investors watch out for in older West Jordan homes? ▾
Homes from the 1970s and 1980s in the area west of Redwood Road sometimes have polybutylene plumbing, aging cast-iron drains, and original electrical panels (including some Federal Pacific units) that insurers will flag. Get a sewer scope on anything pre-1990, and budget for HVAC if the system is original.
Are short-term rentals (Airbnb) allowed in West Jordan? ▾
West Jordan restricts short-term rentals fairly tightly compared to vacation markets like Park City or St. George. Non-owner-occupied STRs are generally not permitted in residential zones, so most investors here run long-term leases or mid-term furnished rentals aimed at traveling medical and tech workers.
