Frequently Asked Questions About Living in Herriman, Utah

Thinking about a move to Herriman? It's one of the fastest-growing cities in the entire state, and that growth means new schools, new parks, and a steady stream of new construction on the west side of the valley. We're Tiffany Rich and Wayne Burton, a father-daughter team with Family Ties Realty, and Herriman is a city we spend a lot of time in with buyers. Here are the questions we hear most.

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

Herriman's housing stock is younger than most of its neighbors, and that shows up in price. Homes generally start in the mid $500,000s, with many newer single-family homes landing in the $600,000s to $700,000s, and larger homes in the foothill areas running higher still. Because so much of the city was built in the last two decades, HOA dues are more common here than in older Salt Lake Valley cities, which is worth factoring into your monthly budget alongside the mortgage. Overall cost of living runs a bit above the state average, largely due to housing, but Herriman still tends to offer more home for the money than Draper or Sandy.

What Are the Best Neighborhoods in Herriman?

Rosecrest is the name most buyers already know, with a mix of home styles, parks, and trail access spread across a large master-planned area. Anthem Park and Providence offer newer construction with a strong sense of community and easy access to schools, while Crestview and the areas closest to Butterfield Canyon give you larger lots and mountain views for buyers willing to trade a few extra minutes of drive time. Wherever you land, new parks and amenities seem to be finishing up every year, which is part of the appeal.

How Are the Schools in Herriman?

Herriman falls within Jordan School District, with Herriman High and the newer Mountain Ridge High both serving the city, along with a growing number of elementary and middle schools built to keep pace with the population. Because Herriman has grown so quickly, boundaries have shifted more than once in recent years, so it's especially important to confirm which schools a specific address feeds into before you buy. We put together a full breakdown of every public and charter school in the city in our guide here: A Parent's Guide to Schools in Herriman, Utah.

What Is the Commute Like from Herriman?

Herriman sits on the southwest edge of the valley, so Bangerter Highway and the Mountain View Corridor are your main routes in and out. Downtown Salt Lake City typically runs about 30 minutes by car depending on traffic, and commuters heading toward Lehi or the Silicon Slopes tech corridor will usually find a similar drive time. It's a bit farther out than South Jordan or Riverton, so we always encourage buyers who commute daily to test-drive the route at rush hour before making an offer.

What Outdoor Recreation Is Available in Herriman?

Butterfield Canyon is Herriman's biggest outdoor draw, with hiking and OHV trails, fantastic fall colors, and quick access to the Oquirrh Mountains right from the edge of the city. Closer to home, the city's growing network of parks and paved trails connects many of the newer neighborhoods, and the Herriman Community Center adds indoor recreation options for year-round use. For a newer city, Herriman has done a good job building open space into its master plan.

What Makes Herriman a Great Place to Call Home?

New schools, new parks, and a steady supply of newer construction make Herriman an easy sell for growing families who want everything to feel fresh. Add in quick access to Butterfield Canyon and a strong sense of community in neighborhoods like Rosecrest, and it's easy to see why this is one of the fastest-growing cities in Utah.
