Homes Under $300,000 in North Salt Lake, Utah
North Salt Lake sits just across the Legacy Parkway from Salt Lake City, separated from the capital by a few miles of freeway rather than a long commute. That proximity — with I-15, US-89, and the Frontrunner commuter rail all within easy reach — gives buyers access to downtown SLC jobs, the University of Utah, and the airport in under 20 minutes on most days. Finding a single-family home under $300,000 here is genuinely competitive; North Salt Lake's median home price has climbed well above that threshold in recent years as buyers priced out of SLC proper, Bountiful, and Centerville have moved north. That said, the sub-$300K segment does exist, typically in the form of townhomes, condos, and the occasional older ranch-style home on the city's west side near the refinery corridor or tucked into the lower benches below Eaglewood Golf Course. Buyers who move quickly and arrive pre-approved tend to fare far better than those still shopping lenders.
Davis County's property taxes remain among the more affordable in the Wasatch Front, and North Salt Lake feeds into the Davis School District — one of the highest-rated districts in the state — which adds long-term value even at the entry-level price point. Winters here are real: expect inversion season from December through February, and snow that sticks for weeks at a time. But summers are warm and dry, the Bonneville Shoreline Trail is practically in the backyard for many neighborhoods, and the overall cost of living runs noticeably lower than in Salt Lake City proper. If your budget is firm at $300,000, focusing on condos and townhomes first gives you the widest selection. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in North Salt Lake.
What kind of homes can I actually get under $300K in North Salt Lake? ▾
Mostly townhomes and condos, typically 2-3 bedrooms and 1,200-1,600 square feet. Detached single-family homes at this price are uncommon and tend to be older ramblers needing updates, or smaller manufactured homes. New construction townhomes occasionally dip under $300K during slower sales periods.
Are there many listings under $300K at any given time? ▾
Usually a handful — often fewer than ten active at once. North Salt Lake is a small city of around 23,000 people, and the sub-$300K segment is the thinnest part of the market. Inventory moves fastest in spring and summer.
Do most homes in this price range have HOA fees? ▾
Yes. The townhome and condo communities that dominate this price tier almost all carry HOAs, generally $150-$300 per month. Dues typically cover exterior maintenance, landscaping, and sometimes water or trash. Factor that into your monthly budget when comparing to a detached home.
Is North Salt Lake a good area for first-time buyers? ▾
It works well for commuters. You're 10-15 minutes from downtown Salt Lake, on Legacy Parkway and I-15, and in Davis School District which tends to score above state average. The foothill trails and Eaglewood Golf Course are within the city limits, which is unusual for a price point this close to Salt Lake.
Can I find anything with a yard under $300K? ▾
Occasionally — usually older homes south of 1100 North or near Orchard Drive, often built in the 1950s-70s on small lots. Expect to budget for updates. Some townhomes also include small private patios or fenced yard spaces if a full yard isn't required.
How do property taxes compare to Salt Lake County? ▾
Davis County's effective rates run slightly lower than Salt Lake County in most cases, which is part of the appeal for buyers commuting south. On a $290,000 primary residence with the residential exemption, expect annual taxes in the $1,500-$1,800 range, though exact rates vary by tax district.
