Larger lots and new construction at the south end of Salt Lake County.
Bluffdale sits at the far south end of Salt Lake County, straddling the Salt Lake and Utah county line near the Point of the Mountain. It is one of the less dense cities in the county, with a rural-suburban character that distinguishes it from the more built-up suburbs to the north. Larger lots, open space, and a slower pace are part of the appeal for buyers who want room without leaving the metro area.
The city's geography puts it at a crossroads. The Point of the Mountain and the I-15 corridor sit on its eastern edge, with the Silicon Slopes tech corridor in Lehi just to the south and the southwest Salt Lake valley suburbs to the north. The Jordan Narrows, where the Jordan River cuts through the ridge, and Camp Williams, the Utah National Guard training site, anchor the city's southern end.
Bluffdale has seen steady new construction as the metro area has grown south, with master-planned development filling in areas that were rural not long ago. The Porter Rockwell Trail provides a paved recreation corridor, and the city retains pockets of larger-lot and semi-rural property alongside the newer subdivisions.
Bluffdale's housing stock mixes larger-lot and semi-rural property with newer master-planned subdivisions. The areas near the Point of the Mountain and the eastern corridors have seen the most recent construction, while other parts of the city retain larger lots and a more rural feel. That range means the per-square-foot and lot-size picture varies widely across the city.
Ask your Realty HQ agent how the newer subdivisions compare to the larger-lot areas for your budget and how much land you want.
