3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Homes for Sale in Jensen, Utah
Jensen sits in the Uintah Basin about 13 miles east of Vernal along Highway 40, hugging the Green River as it runs south toward Dinosaur National Monument. It's a small, rural community where most homes sit on larger parcels with irrigation rights, outbuildings, and views of the Book Cliffs to the south. A three-bedroom, two-bath layout is the workhorse floor plan out here — big enough for a family or a couple with a home office, small enough to keep heating bills sane during Basin winters that regularly dip below zero. Most three-bed, two-bath houses in Jensen are single-level ramblers or modulars from the 1970s through the 2000s, often on a half-acre to several acres, with shop space for the oilfield and ranching work that drives the local economy.
Prices in Jensen typically run well below the Wasatch Front — buyers coming from Salt Lake or Utah County are usually surprised by what an acre and a 1,800-square-foot home costs here. Schools feed into Uintah School District, and the commute into Vernal for groceries, the regional hospital, or work at the Ashley National Forest office is roughly 20 minutes. Dinosaur National Monument's quarry entrance is just a few miles east, which keeps a steady trickle of summer tourism through town. Inventory is thin in a community this size, so the list of active three-bed, two-bath listings shifts week to week. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market in Jensen.

Common questions
About 3 bed 2 bath homes in Jensen.
How much does a 3 bed, 2 bath home in Jensen typically cost? ▾
Most three-bed, two-bath homes in Jensen trade in a range well under Wasatch Front pricing — often somewhere between the upper $200Ks and mid $400Ks depending on acreage, shop space, and condition. Properties with water rights, a newer build, or significant outbuildings push higher. Manufactured homes on land tend to sit at the lower end.
Do most 3/2 homes in Jensen come with acreage? ▾
Yes — it's rare to find a Jensen home on a small city-style lot. Half-acre to five-acre parcels are typical, and many include irrigation shares from the Ashley Central or Burns Bench systems. If you want a horse setup or shop, Jensen is a more practical option than buying inside Vernal city limits.
What's the commute from Jensen to Vernal? ▾
Roughly 13 miles west on Highway 40, or about 18-22 minutes door to door depending on weather. Vernal handles the regional shopping, medical care, and most non-oilfield jobs, so that drive is part of daily life for most Jensen residents.
Which schools serve Jensen? ▾
Jensen is part of Uintah School District. Elementary-age kids attend Eagle View Elementary in Jensen itself, then most students head into Vernal for middle and high school at Vernal Middle and Uintah High.
Is well water or culinary water more common in Jensen? ▾
Most homes in town are connected to Jensen Water Improvement District for culinary water, while irrigation usually comes from ditch shares. A few outlying properties run on private wells — always confirm the water source and any share assignments during due diligence.
How often do 3 bed, 2 bath homes come up for sale in Jensen? ▾
Inventory is light. In a typical month there may only be a handful of active listings across all of Jensen, and three-bed, two-bath homes are the most common configuration when something does hit the market. Setting up an MLS alert is the realistic way to catch new listings quickly.
