Homes Under $500,000 in Orderville, Utah
Orderville sits in Long Valley along Highway 89 in Kane County, roughly halfway between Mt. Carmel Junction and Glendale, and about 25 minutes north of the east entrance to Zion National Park. It's a small town — population hovers around 600 — settled by Mormon pioneers who ran the United Order cooperative in the 1870s, and that rural, agricultural character still defines the place. Most parcels carry some acreage, mature cottonwoods line the irrigation ditches, and red rock cliffs frame the valley on both sides. Under $500K in Orderville generally puts buyers into older single-family homes on a half-acre to a full acre, manufactured homes on larger lots, fixer-uppers with outbuildings, and the occasional newer build in one of the small subdivisions off Center Street or State Route 89.
The buyer pool here splits between locals working in Kanab or at Zion, remote workers wanting quiet and dark skies, and second-home owners who use the place as a Zion/Bryce basecamp (Bryce is about an hour north, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon about 90 minutes south). Winters are mild compared to northern Utah — elevation is around 5,450 feet — and summers run warm but not Mojave-hot. Inventory is thin; in a typical month Orderville might have only a handful of active listings, so anything under $500K moves when it's priced right.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Orderville.
What does under $500K actually buy in Orderville? ▾
At this price you're typically looking at 1,200–2,200 sq ft homes on a half-acre to an acre, often built between the 1960s and early 2000s. Some listings include detached shops, horse setups, or water shares for irrigation. Newer construction under $500K does come up but is less common given current build costs in rural Kane County.
How much inventory does Orderville usually have under $500K? ▾
Orderville is tiny — the whole town averages maybe 5 to 15 active MLS listings at any given time, and only a portion fall under $500K. If nothing matches today, it's worth setting up an alert or expanding the search to Glendale, Mt. Carmel, and Alton, which share the same valley and school district.
Are there water rights or irrigation shares included with homes here? ▾
Many Long Valley properties carry shares in the local irrigation company, which matters if you want pasture, a garden, or fruit trees. Always confirm shares are listed on the deed and ask the title company to verify them — culinary water in town comes from the municipal system, but irrigation is separate.
What school district serves Orderville? ▾
Orderville is part of Kane County School District. Valley Elementary and Valley High School are both located in town, which is unusual for a community this size and a real draw for families who don't want long bus rides into Kanab.
Can I use a USDA Rural Development loan in Orderville? ▾
Yes — Orderville and the surrounding Long Valley area qualify as USDA Rural Development zones, meaning eligible buyers can finance with zero down on a primary residence under the program's income limits. That makes the sub-$500K price band particularly workable for first-time buyers.
How far is Orderville from Zion, Bryce, and the nearest airport? ▾
The east entrance to Zion is about 25 minutes south via Highway 9, Bryce Canyon is roughly an hour north on Highway 89, and Kanab (with hospital, Walmart, and regional services) is 25 minutes south. The closest commercial airports are St. George (1.5 hours) and Cedar City (1 hour 15 minutes); Las Vegas is about 3.5 hours.
