Single Story Homes for Sale in Erda, Utah
Erda sits in the north end of Tooele Valley, between Stansbury Park and Tooele City, about 35 minutes west of Salt Lake City once you clear the Bauer exit on I-80. The area is known for larger lots — many parcels still run a half-acre to five acres — horse property, and the kind of flat, open ground that lends itself naturally to single-level building. That's why ramblers dominate the existing housing stock here far more than they do in tighter Wasatch Front suburbs. Buyers coming from Sandy, Herriman, or out of state are often surprised at how much main-floor square footage their budget covers in Erda compared to Salt Lake County, and how often a single-story home comes with a shop, RV parking, or room for animals.
Demand for ramblers in Erda skews toward two groups: retirees and empty-nesters who want to age in place without stairs, and younger families who like the open floor plans and the option to finish a basement later for added square footage. Most single-story listings here fall in the mid-$500s to low $800s depending on lot size, outbuildings, and whether the basement is finished. Snow load and wind off the Oquirrhs are real considerations, so pay attention to roof pitch and garage orientation when you tour.

Common questions
About single story homes in Erda.
Are single-story homes common in Erda? ▾
Yes — ramblers are arguably the most common style in Erda. The flat valley floor and larger lot sizes encourage single-level builds, and most subdivisions north of Erda Way feature a mix of true ramblers and rambler-with-basement floor plans.
Do single-story homes in Erda usually have basements? ▾
Most do. A typical Erda rambler is built over a full basement, which may be finished, partially finished, or left unfinished for the buyer to complete later. Walkouts are less common here than in foothill areas since the terrain is generally flat.
What lot sizes come with single-story homes in Erda? ▾
Lot sizes vary widely. Newer subdivisions like those off Droubay Road may offer quarter-acre to half-acre lots, while older Erda properties and horse properties along Church Road or Bates Canyon Road often sit on one to five acres with outbuildings and irrigation rights.
What price range should I expect for a rambler in Erda? ▾
Single-story homes in Erda generally run from the mid-$500,000s for a standard subdivision rambler up into the $800,000s or higher for newer builds on acreage with shops or barns. Finished basements and outbuildings move the price meaningfully.
Is Erda a good fit for buyers who want to avoid stairs long-term? ▾
It's one of the better Tooele Valley options for that. Many ramblers here are built with the primary bedroom, laundry, and main living all on the entry level, and wider hallways and zero-step entries from the garage show up frequently in homes built after about 2010.
How is the commute to Salt Lake from a single-story home in Erda? ▾
Most of Erda is 10 to 15 minutes from the Lake Point I-80 interchange, putting downtown Salt Lake roughly 35 to 45 minutes away depending on traffic at the Point of the Mountain merge. The airport is about 30 minutes via I-80.
