Single Story Homes for Sale in Roosevelt, Utah
Roosevelt sits in the Uintah Basin about two and a half hours east of Salt Lake City, and single-story homes have always been the dominant build out here. Drive through neighborhoods off 200 East, around the Roosevelt Golf Course, or out toward Ballard and Neola and you'll see ranchers and ramblers on flat, generous lots — many of them on a quarter-acre or more, some with detached shops or RV parking. The basin's oil-and-gas economy means a lot of these homes were built for working families who wanted a yard, a garage big enough for a truck, and no stairs to deal with after a long shift. Lot sizes tend to be bigger than what you'd find on the Wasatch Front, and prices typically run well below the state median, which makes a single-level layout more attainable here than in places like Lehi or Bountiful.
Buyers gravitate to one-level living for the obvious reasons — aging in place, mobility, easier cleaning, simpler HVAC — but in Roosevelt there's also the practical side: cold Uintah Basin winters (single-digit lows are normal in January) mean fewer stairs to navigate when you're hauling groceries through snow, and basements here are often finished as extra living space rather than the main bedrooms. Inventory moves slower than in larger Utah markets, so it's worth checking back often. Browse the active single-story listings below to see what's currently available in and around Roosevelt.

Common questions
About single story homes in Roosevelt.
Are most homes in Roosevelt already single-story? ▾
Yes — the majority of Roosevelt's housing stock is ranchers, ramblers, and single-level manufactured or modular homes. Two-story builds exist but are less common, especially outside the newer subdivisions. That means buyers wanting one-level living usually have a reasonable pool of options to choose from.
Do single-story homes in Roosevelt typically have basements? ▾
Many do. A finished or partially finished basement is common here and effectively doubles the living space without adding stairs to the main living areas. If you want true single-level living with no basement at all, it narrows the search but those homes do come up, particularly in newer manufactured-home communities and on rural acreage.
What's the price range for a single-story home in Roosevelt? ▾
Most single-level homes in Roosevelt fall in the $250,000 to $450,000 range, with smaller older ranchers below that and newer builds on acreage above it. Prices here are significantly lower than Wasatch Front markets, which is part of why retirees and remote workers have started paying more attention to the basin.
Can I find a single-story home on acreage near Roosevelt? ▾
Absolutely. Once you head out toward Neola, Ballard, Myton, or Altamont, single-story homes on one to five acres become common, and larger parcels with irrigation rights or horse setups show up regularly. Expect well-and-septic rather than city utilities on most rural properties.
Are single-story homes a good fit for retirees moving to the Uintah Basin? ▾
They tend to be. The flat layout, larger lots, lower property taxes, and proximity to the Uintah Basin Healthcare hospital make Roosevelt workable for retirees who want space without Wasatch Front pricing. Winters are cold and services are more limited than in larger cities, so it's worth spending time here in January before committing.
How fast do single-level homes sell in Roosevelt? ▾
It depends heavily on the oil-and-gas cycle. When energy prices are strong, well-priced single-story homes can go under contract in a few weeks; in slower periods they sit longer, which can work in a buyer's favor on price and concessions.
