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

Midvale is one of the more affordable, centrally located markets in the valley. Homes generally start in the high $400,000s, with a good supply in the $500,000s, and newer townhomes in redevelopment areas like Bingham Junction often landing in a similar range.

What Are the Best Neighborhoods in Midvale?

The historic Midvale Main Street area has become a genuine draw, with local shops and restaurants mixed in among older, character-filled homes. Bingham Junction is the city's newer redevelopment area, offering modern townhomes and condos along the TRAX line, while the Union area and neighborhoods near Jordan Bluff offer more traditional single-family homes at accessible prices.

How Are the Schools in Midvale?

Midvale is served by Canyons School District, with Hillcrest High School serving the city along with several elementary and middle schools. Because Midvale doesn't have a comprehensive high school located within its own boundaries, it's worth confirming exactly which schools a specific address feeds into. 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 Midvale, Utah.

What Is the Commute Like from Midvale?

Midvale is one of the best-connected cities in the valley for public transit, with multiple TRAX Blue Line stations including Midvale Center and Historic Gardner, plus easy access to I-15 and I-215. Downtown Salt Lake City is typically about 15 minutes by car outside of peak traffic, or a comparably easy ride on TRAX.

What Outdoor Recreation Is Available in Midvale?

The Jordan River Parkway trail runs directly through Midvale, offering miles of paved path for walking, running, and biking. Bingham Junction has added plenty of new green space and plaza areas as part of its redevelopment, and nearby Wheeler Historic Farm gives residents an easy option for a slower-paced outing with the family.

What Makes Midvale a Great Place to Call Home?
