Homes for sale in Taylorsville, Utah

Frequently asked questions

Is Taylorsville, Utah a good place to live?

Yes, especially for first-time buyers and anyone who wants a central commute. Taylorsville is one of the most affordable cities in Salt Lake County, with a median around $450K, established brick homes on quarter-acre lots, Granite School District, Salt Lake Community College, and a location that puts downtown Salt Lake, the airport, and the south valley all within 15-20 minutes. The trade-offs are older housing stock that often needs updating and fewer parks and trails than the newer suburbs.

Is Taylorsville, Utah safe?

Taylorsville is a central-valley city with crime rates roughly in line with the Salt Lake County average — lower than Salt Lake City proper and West Valley, higher than the south-end suburbs like Riverton or Draper. Property crime, especially vehicle break-ins along Redwood Road and the commercial corridors, is the most common issue; violent crime is uncommon. The quieter residential streets east of Redwood Road and near the Jordan River feel like any established suburb. Taylorsville runs its own police department, which publishes its statistics.

Is Taylorsville, Utah affordable?

Yes — Taylorsville has one of the lowest median home prices in Salt Lake County, around $450K. Townhomes and condos start in the low $300s, updated 1960s-80s brick ramblers run $400K-$500K, and larger two-stories or homes near the Jordan River go $500K-$600K. Property taxes on a primary residence are roughly 0.6% of value. For buyers priced out of Murray, Sandy, or Holladay, Taylorsville is usually the first place I suggest looking.

Is Taylorsville, Utah Mormon?

Taylorsville is in Salt Lake County, where roughly half the population is Latter-day Saint, and the city reflects that mix. It's more religiously and culturally diverse than the Utah County cities or the south-end suburbs, with a significant Hispanic and Pacific Islander community and a large student population around Salt Lake Community College. Neighborhoods are welcoming to people of every background, and I work with buyers across the whole spectrum here.

What is Taylorsville, Utah known for?

Salt Lake Community College's main Taylorsville Redwood Campus, the Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center, Taylorsville Dayzz and its fireworks show in June, the Taylorsville-Bennion Heritage Center, and the Jordan River Parkway. Among buyers it's known as one of the most affordable and central cities in Salt Lake County — the place where a short commute and a sub-$500K price still coexist.

How far is Taylorsville from Salt Lake City?

About 10 miles and 15-20 minutes by car to downtown Salt Lake City via I-215 or Redwood Road, and about 15 minutes to the airport. The Cottonwood canyon ski resorts are 30-35 minutes, and the south-valley cities like Sandy and South Jordan are 10-15 minutes. There's no TRAX station inside the city, but the Murray Central and West Valley Central stations are both a short drive.

Taylorsville vs. Murray — which is better?

They're neighbors with a lot in common — central location, established mid-century homes, short commutes. Murray has its own school district, a walkable downtown, Intermountain Medical Center, TRAX and FrontRunner stations, and a median around $475K. Taylorsville is slightly more affordable at around $450K, has larger lots in places, and has Salt Lake Community College and the Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center. If transit access and a town center matter most, lean Murray; if you want the most house for the money in the central valley, lean Taylorsville.

What are the best neighborhoods in Taylorsville?

The east side near the Jordan River and I-215 has the larger lots, mature trees, and direct access to the Jordan River Parkway — the most sought-after part of the city. The central neighborhoods around Taylorsville High and the city center are classic 1970s-80s family streets with quick access to everything. The area near Valley Regional Park is popular with families for the open space. The west side along Redwood Road and toward Bangerter has the newer townhomes and the most affordable entry points.
