Homes Under $500,000 in Richmond, Utah
Richmond sits at the north end of Cache Valley, about 15 miles up Highway 91 from Logan and a short hop from the Idaho line. For a long time it was known mostly for the Pepperidge Farm bakery and the cheese plant, and that small-town, working-valley feel is still the draw — quiet streets, irrigated lots, and the Bear River Range filling the eastern horizon. Under $500K in Richmond gets you meaningfully more home and land than the same budget would in Logan, North Logan, or Smithfield, which is why a lot of USU staff, hospital workers, and remote employees end up looking here. Expect a mix of older homes near Main Street, ramblers from the 1990s on larger lots, and newer subdivision builds on the south and west edges of town.
Buyers in this price band should plan around Cache Valley realities: cold winters with valley inversions, hot dry summers, and well/septic on some rural-edge properties versus city water and sewer in town. Property taxes through Cache County are relatively low, and Richmond's Park Elementary plus the Sky View High feeder pattern keep families anchored here. Commute times to Logan run 20-25 minutes, and the Logan-Cache Airport is just south of town if you fly regional. Inventory under $500K turns over quickly compared to higher price tiers, so it's worth checking back often. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market in Richmond.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Richmond.
What kind of home does $500K actually buy in Richmond? ▾
In Richmond, the under-$500K range typically covers three- and four-bedroom single-family homes on standard town lots, plus a handful of older farmhouses and newer builds in subdivisions on the south and west edges of town. Lot sizes here tend to run larger than what the same money gets you in Logan or North Logan. You'll see a mix of 1980s–2000s ramblers, some recently built two-stories, and the occasional fixer with outbuildings or pasture access.
How does Richmond pricing compare to nearby Logan and Smithfield? ▾
Richmond generally runs a touch below Smithfield and meaningfully below North Logan for comparable square footage, mostly because it sits about 15 minutes farther north of USU and the main Cache Valley job centers. That commute trade-off is exactly why under-$500K inventory tends to be more usable here — you get more house, more yard, or both for the same budget.
Are there newer-construction homes in Richmond under $500K? ▾
Yes, though the window has narrowed as Cache Valley land and material costs have climbed. New builds under $500K in Richmond are usually smaller-footprint two-stories or three-bedroom ramblers on smaller lots in the newer subdivisions off Main Street and State Road 142. Spec homes come and go quickly, so the active list below is the most accurate snapshot.
What are property taxes and utilities like at this price point? ▾
Cache County property tax rates are among the lower ones in Utah, and Richmond homes assessed in the $400K–$500K range generally see annual tax bills in the $1,800–$2,400 ballpark depending on primary-residence status. Most homes run on Richmond City power and culinary water, with natural gas from Dominion — utility costs are reasonable, though winter heating bills climb during the valley's cold inversion stretches.
Is Richmond a reasonable commute to Logan or the USU campus? ▾
It's about 18–22 minutes from Richmond down US-91 to North Logan and roughly 25–30 minutes to USU, depending on weather and time of day. Plenty of buyers under $500K here are USU staff, Schreiber Foods or ICON employees, and remote workers who want acreage-adjacent living without paying Providence or Hyde Park prices.
How much inventory is usually available under $500K in Richmond? ▾
