Fixer Upper Homes for Sale in North Salt Lake, Utah

North Salt Lake sits right at the mouth of where Davis County meets the foothills, and its housing stock reflects that history — a mix of mid-century ranchers, 1970s and '80s tri-levels in established neighborhoods like Foxboro and the older eastside benches, and a smattering of pre-war homes closer to Highway 89. That age range is exactly what makes fixer-uppers worth hunting here. You're typically looking at solid bones on quarter-acre lots, often with mature trees and views of the Great Salt Lake or the Wasatch, at price points that come in below comparable Bountiful or Centerville stock. Median sale prices in NSL generally run in the $500K–$650K range, and a true cosmetic fixer can land meaningfully under that.

The case for buying a project home here is practical: you're 12 minutes from downtown Salt Lake, 15 from the airport, and inside the Davis School District, so the location premium is already baked in — sweat equity goes further than it does in a turnkey purchase. Just go in clear-eyed about what older NSL homes tend to need: aging sewer laterals on the west side, original aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring in the oldest pockets, and the occasional foundation issue on the steeper benches where expansive clay soils shift. A good local inspector and a contractor who knows Davis County permitting will save you real money.
