5+ Bedroom Homes for Sale in South Salt Lake, Utah
South Salt Lake sits squarely inside the Salt Lake Valley, sharing borders with Salt Lake City to the north and Murray to the south, and it punches above its weight when it comes to value. The city's median home prices consistently run below what you'd pay just a mile north in Sugar House or a mile south in Millcott, which makes it one of the few places in the Wasatch Front where a five-plus bedroom home remains within reach for growing families without stretching the budget into the stratosphere. That extra square footage matters here: South Salt Lake's population skews young and family-forward, the Jordan and Granite school district lines run through the city, and proximity to I-15 and I-80 puts most valley employers — from the Salt Lake City International Airport (about 10 minutes west) to the Silicon Slopes corridor in Draper — within a reasonable commute. For multigenerational households, large families, or buyers who need a dedicated home office and still want guest rooms, the five-plus bedroom inventory in South Salt Lake is worth a close look.
Most of the larger homes in South Salt Lake are single-family detached properties built between the 1950s and the 1990s, with lot sizes that typically run from 6,000 to 9,000 square feet — enough yard for a trampoline and a garden without the maintenance burden of a rural acre. You'll find a mix of original four- and five-bedroom ranch-styles that previous owners have finished downstairs to add legal bedrooms, alongside newer infill construction that arrives at five or six bedrooms from the ground up. Finished basements with egress windows are common and add significant livable square footage without dramatically raising the list price. Buyers should confirm bedroom count is code-compliant (egress window, closet, proper ceiling height) before making an offer. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About 5+ bedroom homes in South Salt Lake.
How common are 5+ bedroom homes in South Salt Lake? ▾
They're relatively scarce. South Salt Lake's housing stock leans heavily toward 2-3 bedroom bungalows and ranchers built between 1920 and 1960, so five-bedroom listings usually represent either large older homes that have been expanded, newer infill builds, or properties with a finished basement apartment counting toward the bedroom total.
What price range should I expect for a 5-bedroom house here? ▾
Most 5+ bedroom homes in South Salt Lake trade between roughly $550,000 and $850,000, depending on whether the extra bedrooms come from an addition, a finished basement, or new construction. Homes with a separate basement unit (legal ADU or mother-in-law setup) often command the top of that range.
Are these homes typically suited for multi-generational living? ▾
Yes — a large share of the 5+ bedroom inventory in South Salt Lake includes a basement kitchen or separate entrance, which makes them practical for extended family or rental income. Buyers should verify with the city whether the second unit is permitted, since South Salt Lake has specific ADU rules that differ from neighboring Millcreek.
Which schools serve larger homes in South Salt Lake? ▾
The area falls within Granite School District, with most homes feeding into Woodrow Wilson, Lincoln, or Roosevelt Elementary, then Granite Park Junior High and Cottonwood High School. Families should double-check boundaries by address, since they shift along State Street and 3300 South.
What's the commute like from South Salt Lake to downtown or the U? ▾
It's one of the shortest in the valley. Downtown Salt Lake is 10-15 minutes via I-15 or State Street, the University of Utah is roughly 15 minutes, and TRAX Blue and Green lines both run through the city, which is a real draw for larger households juggling multiple commutes.
Do larger homes here usually sit on bigger lots? ▾
Not always. Older 5-bedroom homes near Roosevelt Park or the Historic Scott neighborhood often sit on 0.15-0.25 acre lots, while newer townhome-style 5-bedroom builds near State Street may have minimal yard space. Lot size varies more than square footage in this city, so it's worth checking each listing directly.
