Living in Herriman, Utah: Inside America's Fastest-Growing City

Herriman was the fastest-growing city in the United States with a population over 10,000 between 2010 and 2019, and it hasn't slowed down much since, growing from about 20,000 residents to more than 64,000 in the past 15 years. That kind of growth reshapes a city fast, and it's worth understanding what you're actually moving into.

What Homes Cost in Herriman

The average home value in Herriman sits around $609,000 as of mid-2026, with median sale prices near $579,000, generally a step below Draper and South Jordan but above West Jordan. Rosecrest, the city's most established and sought-after neighborhood, commands a real premium, with median listing prices closer to $685,000.

Rosecrest and Herriman's Other Neighborhoods

Rosecrest is Herriman's best-known neighborhood, built around a series of ponds and trails with a distinct master-planned feel. Beyond Rosecrest, Herriman is largely made up of newer subdivisions built over the past decade, with fewer of the older, established pockets you'd find in cities like Sandy or Riverton.

Living with Rapid Growth

Herriman's commercial development has genuinely surged in the past couple of years after a long stretch of mostly residential building, meaning more shopping and dining options are arriving that used to require a drive to Riverton or South Jordan. On the flip side, growth of this pace means construction, traffic patterns, and school boundaries are all still shifting, and it's worth going in with eyes open about that rather than assuming today's map will look the same in five years.

Getting Around

Herriman doesn't have its own TRAX station, so most residents drive, typically via the Mountain View Corridor or Bangerter Highway to reach the rest of the valley. Commutes to downtown Salt Lake City typically run 30 to 40 minutes depending on which part of the city you're in, longer than more centrally located cities like West Jordan or South Jordan.

Schools

Herriman is served by Jordan School District, with 10 elementary schools, one middle school, and two comprehensive high schools, along with three charter school options. I cover the complete list, including addresses and grade levels, in my complete guide to Herriman schools.

Outdoor Recreation

Butterfield Canyon, on Herriman's western edge, offers off-road trails, mountain biking, and scenic canyon driving up into the Oquirrh Mountains. Closer to home, the Mountain View Corridor Trail runs along the highway for miles of paved biking and walking, and Butterfield Trailhead Regional Park connects to more than 13 miles of the broader Southwest Canyon Trails Network.

Bottom Line

Herriman works well for buyers who want newer construction, relatively reasonable pricing for the valley, and don't mind a longer commute in exchange. If you'd like help thinking through which part of Herriman fits your budget and lifestyle, I'm happy to talk it through.
