Frequently Asked Questions About Living in Bluffdale, Utah

Thinking about a move to Bluffdale? It's one of the smaller, quieter cities in the Salt Lake Valley, with a lot of open space and a slower pace than some of its faster-growing neighbors. We're Tiffany Rich and Wayne Burton, a father-daughter team with Family Ties Realty, and Bluffdale is an area we enjoy working in. Here are the questions we hear most.

What Are Home Prices and the Cost of Living Like in Bluffdale?

Bluffdale sits in a similar price range to Herriman and Riverton. Homes generally start in the mid $500,000s, with a good supply in the $600,000s, and premium properties in golf course communities like South Mountain often running higher. Cost of living tracks close to the state average, and Bluffdale tends to offer a bit more land for the money than its neighbors closer to the freeway corridor.

What Are the Best Neighborhoods in Bluffdale?

The South Mountain community is one of the best-known parts of Bluffdale, built around its own golf course with a mix of home sizes and styles. Independence and Silver Springs offer newer construction with a more traditional suburban feel, while the older, historic parts of Bluffdale near the Jordan River give buyers larger lots and a more rural, established character. It's a city where you can still find some genuine breathing room between homes.

How Are the Schools in Bluffdale?

Bluffdale is home to its own Jordan School District schools — Bluffdale Elementary and Mountain Point Elementary for grade school, and Hidden Valley Middle School for grades 7–9 — so most Bluffdale addresses feed into schools within the city itself. Bluffdale is served by Jordan School District, and because the city is smaller, confirming the exact boundary for an address is especially important here. We're currently putting together a full school guide for Bluffdale similar to the ones we've published for other cities in the valley, and we're happy to walk through current school assignments with you directly in the meantime.

What Is the Commute Like from Bluffdale?

Bluffdale sits along I-15 and Redwood Road, giving it a fairly direct shot north into the valley. Downtown Salt Lake City typically runs about 25-30 minutes by car outside of peak traffic. It's a bit farther out for a daily commute than cities like Midvale or Murray, so we like to talk through work locations early when helping buyers evaluate Bluffdale.

What Outdoor Recreation Is Available in Bluffdale?

The South Mountain Golf Club is a major draw for golfers looking to live near the course, and the Jordan River corridor runs along the edge of the city with trail access for walking and biking. Bluffdale's proximity to open space near Camp Williams also gives residents a bit more room to roam than some of the more built-out cities closer to the center of the valley.

What Makes Bluffdale a Great Place to Call Home?

For buyers who want more land, a slower pace, and still-reasonable prices without leaving the Salt Lake Valley, Bluffdale is worth a serious look. It's a city that's grown steadily without losing its quieter, more spread-out feel.
