Homes Under $500,000 in Stockton, Utah
Stockton sits on the south end of Rush Valley about 7 miles below Tooele, and it's one of the few spots within an hour of Salt Lake where a sub-$500K budget still buys a real house on a real lot. The town has roughly 700 residents, a single main drag along SR-36, and views straight up to the Oquirrh Mountains on the east and the Stansburys to the west. Most homes here sit on quarter-acre to full-acre parcels, and a meaningful share come with detached shops, horse setups, or room for trailers and toys — the kind of space that disappeared from Tooele City years ago at this price.
Under $500K in Stockton typically means a 1,500-2,400 sq ft single-family home, often a rambler or split-entry built between the 1970s and the 2010s, with a smaller number of newer builds mixed in on the south side of town. Buyers are usually a blend of Tooele County locals trading up, Salt Lake commuters chasing more land, and retirees who want quiet without giving up paved roads and town water. Snow does fly here in winter — Stockton sits around 5,100 feet — but summers are dry and the lake breeze off Rush Lake keeps evenings comfortable.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Stockton.
What kind of home can I actually get in Stockton for under $500K? ▾
Most listings in this range are 3-4 bedroom single-family homes between roughly 1,400 and 2,400 square feet, often on lots of a quarter acre or larger. You'll also see some manufactured homes on land and the occasional fixer on acreage. Compared to Tooele or Stansbury Park, the same budget tends to stretch to more land here.
How long is the commute from Stockton to Salt Lake City? ▾
Plan on about 55-65 minutes to downtown SLC via SR-36 and I-80, depending on traffic at the Lake Point interchange. Commutes to the Tooele Army Depot, Stansbury Park, or Lake Point industrial jobs run 15-30 minutes. Winter weather over the pass can add time, so a reliable vehicle matters.
Can I keep horses or livestock on Stockton properties in this price range? ▾
Many lots in and around Stockton are zoned to allow horses, chickens, and other livestock, but it varies by parcel. Always confirm zoning with Tooele County before assuming — some subdivisions have CC&Rs that restrict animals even when county zoning would allow them.
Is water a concern when buying in Stockton? ▾
It can be. Some properties are on culinary water through Stockton Town, while others rely on private wells with separate water rights. Secondary (irrigation) water isn't universal here. Make sure your offer addresses water shares and well status, especially on larger lots.
How does Stockton compare to Tooele or Erda for buyers under $500K? ▾
Stockton typically prices a bit lower than Tooele proper and noticeably lower than Erda, which has trended toward larger custom homes. The trade-off is fewer services in town — most shopping, schools beyond elementary, and medical visits happen in Tooele, about 10 minutes north.
How much inventory is usually available under $500K in Stockton? ▾
Stockton is a small market, so active listings under $500K often number in the single digits at any given time. New listings can sit briefly or move fast depending on condition and lot. Setting up an automated search is the most practical way to catch new ones early.
