Affordable starter homes just outside Salt Lake City

Filed Under Stansbury Park Utah, Utah cities, Utah real estate |

One myth that some buyers have been led to believe lately is that if you are looking for a starter home, you’ll have to settle in some way. Either you’ll have to buy one that’s too old for you, too small, or in an area that you don’t think is nice enough for you. People will say that everything is too expensive these days if you’re starting out.

I don’t believe that you have to settle if you know where to look. One prime example that comes to mind is a development in Stansbury Park where the townhomes start at about $146,000. The name is Benson Mill Crossing, located about 3 miles from exit 99 in Stansbury Park. For some people that I’ve talked to, Stansbury Park seems way too far out there. I drove there not too long ago, and I was surprised at how short of a distance away it actually seemed to be. Especially if you work somewhere close to downtown, or on the west side, you just hop on I-80 and stay on it almost the whole way.

People who live in Stansbury, love it. It’s not the west desert, like some will have you believe. They’ve got most everything that you need, and if they dont’ have it, nearby Tooele probably will. The neighborhoods are attractive and well kept. The scenery is nice. I don’t know if there is anything not to like about it.

I encourage you to look into the Benson Mill Crossing website here. They’ve got a list of things that are nearby, floorplans, directions, etc.

If you’re looking to buy a first home, this could be a good choice for you.

    Great posts are those like these that keep us up on what is oging on in the marekt and new subdivisions that are rising. There are many of these down south in St George and Cedar City as well. I am affiliated with a big builder in Utah that is doing some great projects in utah county and washington county that fit into this price range and are very attractive. Thanks again for the info.

    Wow 146k for a townhome. Thats not a bad price and not a bad location either. In fact, I think I might have a buyer for that.
