Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in West Jordan, Utah
West Jordan sits in the southwest Salt Lake Valley, about 18 miles from the SLC airport and right in the path of the Silicon Slopes commute. For buyers looking at rental property here, the first thing to understand is that West Jordan is primarily a long-term and mid-term rental market, not a nightly Airbnb market. The city ordinance restricts short-term rentals under 30 days in most residential zones, so the income strategies that actually work involve traditional 12-month leases, corporate housing for tech workers at nearby campuses, and traveling-nurse stays tied to Jordan Valley Medical Center and the IHC hospitals up the road.
The fundamentals are solid: a population over 117,000, easy access to Bangerter Highway and the Mountain View Corridor, and a tenant pool drawn from healthcare, tech, and the trades. Neighborhoods like Jordan Landing, Highland Park, and the newer builds near 9000 South attract families on multi-year leases, while townhomes and condos closer to the FrontRunner station appeal to younger renters who want a Salt Lake commute without Salt Lake prices. Median home prices in West Jordan generally run below Draper and Sandy, which helps the rent-to-price math compared with east-bench cities. The listings below include single-family homes, townhomes, and properties with basement apartment potential — review the HOA documents and West Jordan's current rental licensing rules before writing an offer, and browse the active listings to see what fits your numbers.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in West Jordan.
Does West Jordan actually allow short-term rentals? ▾
West Jordan currently restricts nightly and short-term rentals (under 30 days) in most residential zones, similar to Salt Lake City and other Wasatch Front cities. Long-term rentals (30+ days) are permitted with a city business license and rental dwelling license. Before purchasing with rental income in mind, verify the current ordinance with West Jordan's Community Development department and check any HOA covenants on the specific property.
If short-term rentals are limited, why would I buy a rental property here? ▾
Most investors buying in West Jordan target long-term tenants, traveling-nurse mid-term stays (Jordan Valley Medical Center is right here), and corporate housing tied to the Silicon Slopes tech corridor. The city's location off Bangerter Highway and Mountain View Corridor, plus proximity to the SLC airport and major employers, keeps long-term occupancy strong.
What types of properties on this page work best as rentals? ▾
Look for townhomes in areas like Jordan Landing and Highland Park, basement-apartment homes with legal accessory dwelling units, and twin homes near 7800 South. ADU-friendly setups are increasingly valuable since Utah passed statewide internal ADU legislation, though West Jordan still has its own permitting process.
What rents can I expect in West Jordan right now? ▾
Long-term rents typically run roughly $1,600–$1,900 for a 2-bed townhome, $2,100–$2,600 for a 3-bed single-family, and higher for homes with finished basement apartments rented separately. Mid-term furnished rates for medical and corporate tenants usually price 30–50% above standard long-term rates.
Are there HOA restrictions I should watch for? ▾
Many West Jordan subdivisions built after 2000 carry HOAs, and a fair number prohibit rentals outright or cap the percentage of rental units in the community. Always pull the CC&Rs and current rental cap status before writing an offer if income is part of your plan.
How do property taxes work on a non-owner-occupied home in Utah? ▾
Utah gives a 45% primary residence exemption on property tax. A rental property does not qualify, so you'll pay tax on 100% of assessed value rather than 55%. That roughly translates to taxes being about 80% higher than a comparable owner-occupied home on the same street — factor it into your underwriting.
