Herriman

Yes. Herriman is one of the fastest-growing family suburbs in the Salt Lake Valley, built almost entirely on master-planned communities with parks built in from the start. The city maintains 20+ parks and 50+ miles of trails, including Blackridge Reservoir and the 60-acre W&M Butterfield Park with splash pads and sports fields. Jordan School District serves the city, anchored by Herriman High and Mountain Ridge High.

Herriman sits in the southwest corner of Salt Lake County, so most commutes run north on Mountain View Corridor or Bangerter Highway to reach I-15. Expect roughly 30-40 minutes to downtown Salt Lake City in normal traffic, and closer to 20-25 minutes to the Sandy/Draper tech corridor. It's not a walkable city, so plan on driving for errands too.

Herriman's effective property tax rate runs around 0.6%, close to the Salt Lake County median and below the roughly 1% national average. On a $600,000 home, that's typically $3,000-$3,600 a year, though the exact bill depends on your specific tax area and school district levies.

Yes, more than almost anywhere else in the valley. Herriman City has around 14,000 additional homes already entitled for future development, and builders are actively running incentive programs, rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, upgrade packages, that directly compete with resale listings. If you're selling here, your pricing strategy has to account for what a buyer could get new down the street.

Rosecrest is the city's largest master-planned community, over 2,500 acres and 2,000+ homes, and offers the most established amenities: trails, a rec center, and Blackridge Reservoir access, often at a relative value versus newer pockets. Anthem and Highland Park offer newer construction and more active HOA-driven aesthetics at a premium. Herriman Towne Center gives the most walkable, errand-friendly option with condos and townhomes in the $450K-$530K range.

Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, a median of around 24-26 days versus faster paces in some months, reflecting more inventory and higher mortgage rates (around 6.875% as of mid-2026) cooling buyer urgency. Prices are roughly flat to slightly up year-over-year in most reports, with the $400K-$700K band moving fastest and homes above $700K taking meaningfully longer.

Herriman generally offers more square footage and larger lots per dollar than South Jordan or Daybreak, with a stronger new-construction pipeline, but a longer commute to east-side job centers and less walkability. South Jordan and Daybreak trade some of that space for a more established, amenity-dense feel with shorter commute times to I-15.
