Homes Under $500,000 in West Bountiful, Utah
West Bountiful is one of those small Davis County cities where buyers are often surprised by what the market actually looks like. Tucked between I-15 and Legacy Parkway about 12 minutes north of downtown Salt Lake City, it has the feel of an established Wasatch Front suburb — mature trees, wide lots from the 1970s and 80s, and a tight-knit feel anchored by West Bountiful Elementary and the city's small commercial strip along 500 South. Under $500K in this city typically means a smaller rambler, an older split-entry, a townhome near 800 West, or occasionally a condo. Detached single-family homes under that price point move quickly here, especially when they're updated, because the median sale price has been running well above $500K for several years.
The trade-off at this price is usually age or size rather than location — most West Bountiful neighborhoods sit on quiet streets within a few minutes of the FrontRunner Woods Cross station, Lakeside Golf Course, and the shops at Five Points in Bountiful. Buyers commuting to Salt Lake, the airport, or Hill Air Force Base tend to like the access, and the Davis School District is a consistent draw for families. Inventory under $500K is thin and turns over fast, so it helps to have alerts set and financing ready before something hits.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in West Bountiful.
How many homes under $500K are usually available in West Bountiful at any given time? ▾
Inventory is genuinely tight — it's common to see only a handful of active listings in West Bountiful under $500K, and sometimes zero detached single-family homes in that range. Townhomes and condos make up a larger share at this price. Setting up MLS alerts is the realistic way to catch new listings before they go under contract.
What kind of home does $500K actually buy in West Bountiful? ▾
Most often a 3-bedroom rambler or split-entry from the 1970s–1990s in the 1,800–2,400 sq ft range, sometimes with an unfinished basement. Newer construction at this price is rare since most new builds in the area are priced higher. Updated kitchens and finished basements push homes above $500K quickly.
How do property taxes work in West Bountiful? ▾
West Bountiful is in Davis County, and effective property tax rates typically run around 0.55%–0.70% of market value with the primary residence exemption. On a $475,000 home that's roughly $2,600–$3,300 per year. Exact rates vary by tax district and year.
Is West Bountiful a good commute to Salt Lake City? ▾
Yes — it's one of the reasons demand stays high. Downtown SLC is about 12–15 minutes via I-15 or Legacy Parkway outside of rush hour, and the Woods Cross FrontRunner station is just south of the city for a train option. Salt Lake City International Airport is roughly 15 minutes away.
Which schools serve West Bountiful? ▾
West Bountiful falls under Davis School District, with most kids attending West Bountiful Elementary, Millcreek Junior High, and Bountiful High. Davis is one of the larger and better-rated districts in the state, which is part of why homes here hold value even at lower price points.
Should I expect to compete with multiple offers under $500K here? ▾
On well-priced, move-in-ready homes, yes — anything clean and under $500K in West Bountiful tends to draw multiple offers within the first few days. Fixers and dated homes sit a bit longer and give buyers more room to negotiate. Being pre-approved and ready to tour the same day a listing hits matters at this price point.
