Single Story Homes for Sale in Eureka, Utah
Eureka is a small former mining town in the Tintic Mining District of Juab County, sitting at about 6,400 feet on the western slope of the East Tintic Mountains. The town's housing stock reflects its boom-and-bust history — most homes were built between the 1890s and the 1940s, with a smaller wave of post-war ranchers and a handful of newer manufactured and modular builds scattered around the edges of town. Because of that history, single-level homes are actually the dominant style here. Miner's cottages, small ranchers, and bungalows on deep lots make up most of what comes to market, and true two-story homes are the exception rather than the rule.
For buyers prioritizing one-level living, Eureka offers something rare on the Wasatch Front side of the state: low prices, quiet streets, and elevation that keeps summers cool while Salt Lake bakes. The trade-offs are real — winters are snowy, the commute to Provo runs about 35 miles up Highway 6, grocery runs mean a drive to Santaquin or Nephi, and many of the homes need updating. But for retirees, remote workers, and buyers priced out of Utah County, a single-story home in Eureka can be a genuinely workable option. Inventory turns over slowly given the town's size, so it pays to set up alerts. Browse the active single-story listings below to see what's currently on the market in Eureka.

Common questions
About single story homes in Eureka.
Are single story homes common in Eureka? ▾
Yes. Much of Eureka's housing stock dates to the late 1800s and early 1900s mining era, when modest one-level miner's cottages and bungalows were the norm. You'll see more ranchers and single-level builds here than two-story homes, though inventory in any given month is small since the whole town has fewer than 700 residents.
What price range should I expect for a single story home in Eureka? ▾
Eureka is one of the more affordable pockets in Juab and Utah counties. Single-level homes have generally traded in the $150,000 to $325,000 range depending on lot size, condition, and whether the home has been updated. Fixer-uppers on large lots can come in lower, while remodeled homes with garages push the top of the range.
Why do buyers specifically want single-level in Eureka? ▾
Eureka sits at roughly 6,400 feet, and winters bring real snow and ice. A single-story layout means no interior stairs to navigate in slick boots and no exterior steps to shovel constantly. It's also popular with retirees aging in place and with buyers wanting a simpler footprint for a second home or weekend cabin alternative.
Are there lot size or basement considerations to know about? ▾
Many older Eureka homes sit on generous lots — quarter-acre and up is common — and a fair number have partial basements or cellars built into the hillside. If a true single-level (no basement steps) matters to you, filter carefully and ask the listing agent, because some MLS listings label a home single-story even when there's a daylight basement below.
What's the commute like from Eureka to the Wasatch Front? ▾
Eureka is about 75 miles from Salt Lake City and roughly 35 miles southwest of Provo via Highway 6. Most working buyers here either commute to Provo/Orem, work in Tintic Valley, or work remotely. Winter driving on Highway 6 can be slow during storms, so factor that into any commute math.
Is financing straightforward on these older single-level homes? ▾
It depends on condition. Many Eureka homes pre-date 1940 and may have knob-and-tube wiring, older plumbing, or foundation issues that can trip up conventional or FHA appraisals. Cash, renovation loans (203k or Fannie HomeStyle), and USDA financing (Eureka is in a USDA-eligible rural area) are all worth discussing with your lender upfront.
