Homes Under $500,000 in Woods Cross, Utah
Woods Cross sits in southern Davis County between Bountiful and North Salt Lake, and it's one of the few Wasatch Front cities where buyers can still find detached homes and townhomes under $500K within a 15-minute train ride of downtown Salt Lake. The FrontRunner station at 750 South 800 West is the city's biggest selling point for commuters, and the I-15 interchange a few blocks away gets you to the airport in roughly 20 minutes. Inventory below this price tends to cluster in two areas: older single-family homes east of the railroad tracks built between the 1970s and 1990s, and newer townhome communities on the west side near the commercial corridor.
What you give up at this price compared to neighboring Bountiful is usually lot size and finish level — most sub-$500K detached homes here sit on quarter-acre lots or smaller, and many haven't been updated since the original owners moved in. The upside is access to Davis School District, mature trees, walkable streets in the older neighborhoods, and proximity to Mueller Park Canyon for hiking. Townhome buyers get newer construction and lower maintenance, usually with HOA dues in the $150-$300 range. Property taxes run roughly 0.6% of assessed value, which is typical for Davis County.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Woods Cross.
What kind of home can I actually get in Woods Cross under $500K? ▾
Most listings under this price point are 3-bedroom townhomes, older single-family homes built in the 1970s-90s, or smaller patio homes. Detached homes with yards tend to sit in the $425K-$495K range, while attached townhomes near Wild Country Foods and the FrontRunner station often start closer to $375K. Newer construction at this price is rare and usually means a townhome.
Is Woods Cross a good commuter option for SLC workers? ▾
Yes — it's one of the main reasons buyers shop here. The Woods Cross FrontRunner stop puts you in downtown Salt Lake in about 15 minutes, and I-15 access at 2600 South gets you to the airport in under 20 minutes off-peak. That commute access is a big part of why prices held up better than some outlying suburbs.
What school district serves Woods Cross? ▾
Woods Cross is part of Davis School District, which is consistently one of the higher-rated districts in the state. Elementary kids typically attend Woods Cross or Odyssey Elementary, with Mueller Park Junior High and Woods Cross High serving older students. Davis District boundaries are a real factor for families comparing Woods Cross to neighboring Bountiful or North Salt Lake.
Are there HOA fees I should plan for at this price? ▾
If you're looking at townhomes or condos under $500K, expect HOA dues somewhere between $150 and $300 per month depending on whether the community covers exterior maintenance, landscaping, or amenities. Detached single-family homes in the older parts of Woods Cross usually have no HOA at all, which is worth factoring into your monthly comparison.
How fast do sub-$500K homes move in Woods Cross? ▾
Anything well-priced and updated under $500K tends to go under contract within two to three weeks, sometimes faster in spring. The under-$500K bracket is where first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors all overlap, so competition is steady year-round. Getting pre-approved before you tour is worth the effort here.
Does the refinery affect home values or livability? ▾
The Holly and Big West refineries on the west side of town are a real consideration, and homes closer to 1100 West tend to price a bit lower because of it. Most residential neighborhoods east of the railroad tracks are far enough away that day-to-day impact is minimal, though occasional odor events do happen. It's worth driving the area at different times before committing.
