Homes in the Columbia Elementary boundary

The Columbia Elementary boundary sits in an established part of West Jordan, so the housing stock skews older and more settled than the newer west side. Expect a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and starter homes, many at a more approachable price point than newer construction elsewhere in the city. Prices change over time, so treat any figure as a snapshot.

Because the boundary covers a range of neighborhoods, the mix of active listings shifts month to month. Rather than quote a range that goes stale quickly, we would rather pull a current, address-specific snapshot for you.
