Single Story Homes for Sale in Stockton, Utah
Stockton sits on the south end of Rush Valley in Tooele County, about 40 minutes from the Salt Lake Valley once you clear the Oquirrh Mountains. It's a small town — roughly 700 residents — surrounded by ranchland, with views of the Stansburys to the west and Rush Lake just south of town. Most of the housing stock here is one-level: ramblers on larger lots, manufactured homes on permanent foundations, and a handful of newer single-story builds along the SR-36 corridor. Single-story layouts make practical sense in Stockton because lots tend to be bigger (half-acre and up is common), so there's no need to build vertically the way Wasatch Front builders do on tight subdivision parcels.
Buyers drawn to one-level living in Stockton fall into a few camps: retirees who want to age in place without stairs, families wanting a workshop or detached garage on a flat lot, and remote workers leaving Salt Lake or Utah County for cheaper land and quiet nights. Winters here run colder than the valley floor — Rush Valley sits above 5,000 feet — so single-level homes with attached garages cut down on snow hassles. Price points typically come in well below Tooele City for comparable square footage, though inventory is thin and listings can sit briefly or move quickly depending on the season.

Common questions
About single story homes in Stockton.
How much inventory does Stockton typically have for single-story homes? ▾
Stockton is a small town with limited turnover, so it's common to see only a handful of active listings at any given time. Single-story homes make up the majority of what does come on the market, since most of the local housing stock was built as ramblers or manufactured homes on permanent foundations.
What lot sizes are common with single-story homes in Stockton? ▾
Half-acre to one-acre parcels are typical, and properties of two to five acres aren't unusual on the edges of town. The larger lots are part of the appeal — buyers often want room for shops, RV parking, horses, or chickens, which is harder to find closer to Tooele or the Salt Lake Valley.
How do prices compare to Tooele City or Grantsville? ▾
Stockton generally prices below Tooele and Grantsville for comparable square footage, partly because it's further from I-80 commuter routes and has no city services like a grocery store. Buyers willing to drive 10-15 extra minutes for groceries often save meaningfully on price per square foot.
Are most single-story homes here on well and septic? ▾
Many older and outlying properties run on private well and septic systems, while homes closer to the town center may be on Stockton's municipal water. It's worth confirming on each listing, since well depth, water rights, and septic age all affect long-term ownership costs.
What's the commute like to Salt Lake from a Stockton single-story home? ▾
Plan on roughly 50-60 minutes to downtown Salt Lake via SR-36 and I-80, depending on weather and traffic through Lake Point. Commuters to the west side of the valley, the airport, or the Kennecott area have a shorter drive — closer to 40 minutes — which is why Stockton works for some Salt Lake workers.
Are newer-construction single-story homes available in Stockton? ▾
New construction is limited and tends to be one-off custom builds rather than tract subdivisions. Most of what trades hands is existing rambler stock from the 1970s through 2000s, plus newer manufactured and modular homes. If new construction is a priority, Tooele and Erda have more active builder activity.
