Homes Under $500,000 in Erda, Utah
Erda sits in the northern end of Tooele Valley, about 35 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City via I-80 and SR-36. It incorporated in 2021 specifically to protect its rural, large-lot character, which means most properties here sit on a half-acre to several acres with room for horses, shops, and gardens. That rural zoning also pushes prices up — the typical Erda home trades well above $500K, so listings under that mark tend to move quickly and usually fall into a few specific buckets: older ramblers on big lots that need updating, smaller manufactured or modular homes on acreage, townhomes near the Stansbury Park border, or new-construction starter plans in the few subdivisions the city has approved.
Buyers shopping this price range in Erda are typically choosing it over Stansbury Park, Grantsville, or west Tooele for the land, the Oquirrh and Stansbury mountain views, and the quieter pace. Commuters should know the SR-36 corridor backs up during morning rush, and the planned Midvalley Highway connection has changed traffic patterns. Wells and septic are common at this price point rather than municipal water and sewer, so budget for inspections on both. Tooele County School District serves the area, with most kids zoned to Stansbury or Tooele high schools. Inventory under $500K is thin — often only a handful of active listings at any given time — so it pays to set up alerts. Browse the current listings below to see what's on the market today.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Erda.
How common are homes under $500K in Erda? ▾
They're the tighter end of Erda's market. Most Erda properties sit on larger lots (often half-acre to multi-acre) and trend higher, so sub-$500K inventory usually means smaller-lot subdivisions, townhomes in newer phases, or older homes on standard lots. Count on a short list at any given time rather than dozens of options.
What do you typically get for under $500K here versus Tooele or Stansbury Park? ▾
In Tooele City you'll see more established neighborhoods and a wider sub-$500K selection. Stansbury Park trades at a similar or slightly higher range with HOA amenities. Erda at this price point usually means a newer build on a smaller lot or an older home without the acreage Erda is known for — but you still get the rural zip code, lower density, and Oquirrh/Stansbury mountain views.
Is Erda a good commute to Salt Lake City? ▾
It's about 35-40 minutes to downtown SLC via I-80 in normal traffic, and roughly 45 minutes to the airport. Winter storms over the Lake Point pass can slow things down. Many Erda buyers work at Tooele Army Depot, the SLC valley, or remotely.
What school district serves Erda? ▾
Erda is in Tooele County School District. Students generally feed into schools in Tooele City or Stansbury Park depending on the address. Confirm exact boundaries with the district before writing an offer — boundaries have shifted as Stansbury and Erda have grown.
Are there HOAs on Erda homes under $500K? ▾
It depends on the subdivision. Older Erda properties and rural parcels typically have no HOA. Newer planned communities that have pushed into Erda do carry HOAs with modest monthly dues. The listing detail page will show HOA status and fees.
Can I find a home with land under $500K in Erda? ▾
Occasionally, but it's rare at this price. Acreage parcels with a livable home usually clear $600K and up. Under $500K you're more likely looking at a quarter-acre to half-acre lot. If land is the priority, set an alert and be ready to move quickly when something hits the MLS.
