Herriman Real Estate
Herriman is the southwest corner of Salt Lake County, sitting between South Jordan to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west. Once a quiet ranching town, Herriman has been one of the fastest-growing cities in Utah for the last decade, fueled by newer master-planned communities like Rosecrest, Anthem, and Highland Park. The result is a market with younger inventory than most of the Wasatch Front, families with school-age kids, and price points that still look reasonable compared to the east-side suburbs.
Kris Bowen Real Estate Group has watched Herriman grow from a small town into a city of 60,000+ residents. We know the master-planned communities, the builders behind them, and how the school catchment lines have moved as Jordan and Canyons school districts have redrawn boundaries.

Selling a Home in Herriman
Herriman’s sellers face a specific competitive dynamic that most Salt Lake County markets do not: there is a steady supply of new construction from local builders running incentive programs. Buyer attention can split between resale homes and builder-financing-incentivized new builds in the same neighborhood. Pricing strategy in Herriman has to account for this, and listings that ignore the new-construction comp set sit longer than they should.
Our 163-Step Home Selling Process starts with a Right Price Analysis that includes both resale comps and the builder activity in your specific Herriman neighborhood, then runs the full Tidal Wave Marketing rollout from listing day through closing.
Buying a Home in Herriman
Herriman buyers are usually one of three types: families wanting newer homes in good school catchments at lower prices than east-side Salt Lake County, first-move-up buyers exiting starter homes elsewhere in the valley, and relocation buyers attracted by the master-planned amenities. Newer construction means newer infrastructure, but it also means HOA awareness, builder-warranty questions, and lot premium considerations.
Our Buyer Concierge Service helps Herriman buyers compare resale homes against active new-construction inventory in the same neighborhoods, including builder incentive packages that often beat resale on a true total-cost basis.

Popular Herriman Neighborhoods
Rosecrest
One of Herriman’s largest master-planned communities. Mix of 2000s-era and newer construction, mature trees in older sections, walkable parks, and a strong sense of neighborhood identity. Popular with families.
Anthem
Newer master-planned community on Herriman’s south side. More recent construction than Rosecrest, premium amenities, and active HOA. Strong demand from younger families.
Highland Park
Mid-Herriman, newer construction, mix of single-family and townhome inventory. Convenient access to Mountain View Corridor.
Cove at Herriman Springs
Newer construction pocket with a tighter HOA-driven aesthetic. Active builder pipeline.
Juniper Ridge
Foothill-edge neighborhood with views toward the Oquirrhs. Mix of larger lots and custom builds.
Old Herriman / Main Street area
Older inventory, larger lots, more character. The original Herriman that predates the master-planned boom. Limited supply, often pricier on a per-acre basis.
Schools in Herriman
Herriman is served by Jordan School District. Notable high schools include Herriman High and Mountain Ridge High. The district has redrawn middle and elementary boundaries multiple times in the last decade as Herriman has grown, so always verify current catchment for a specific address. Catchment lines do affect resale value, especially for families who target specific feeder elementaries.
Common Mistakes Herriman Sellers Make
- Ignoring the new-construction comp set. Builders in your neighborhood are part of the buyer’s decision, whether you acknowledge them in your pricing or not.
- Underinvesting in pre-listing prep. Buyers comparing your home to a brand-new builder home will notice every dated finish and every deferred-maintenance item.
- Overpricing the lot premium. Herriman has many homes with view or lot-position premiums, but the buyer pool tends to under-pay for those compared to east-side cities.
- Listing without HOA documents organized. Herriman has more HOAs than most Wasatch Front cities, and unprepared HOA disclosure delays closings.
- Skipping the Tidal Wave Marketing window. Herriman’s longer median DOM means the first two weeks really matter for getting maximum exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions About Herriman Real Estate
How long does it take to sell a home in Herriman?
The Q1 2026 median was 64 days from list to close in Herriman, based on Wasatch Front MLS data. That is longer than most other Salt Lake County cities, primarily because resale homes compete with active new-construction inventory and builder incentives. Well-prepped, properly priced homes can still go under contract in three to four weeks.
What is the median home price in Herriman?
The Q1 2026 median sale price in Herriman was $611,149 across 200 closed transactions, with sales ranging from $314,000 to $2.8 million. The average sale was $642,047, which sits close to the median because the price-tier distribution is more even than in cities with heavy custom-home tails.
What are the best neighborhoods in Herriman?
For mature master-planned amenities and walkable parks: Rosecrest. For newer construction and active HOA-driven aesthetic: Anthem and Highland Park. For foothill views: Juniper Ridge. For larger lots and original character: Old Herriman around Main Street.
What schools serve Herriman?
Herriman is served by Jordan School District. Major high schools include Herriman High and Mountain Ridge High. Middle and elementary catchments have shifted as the city has grown, so always verify current boundaries for a specific home.
Is Herriman a good place to buy a home?
For Salt Lake County buyers who want newer homes in the $500K to $750K range, with master-planned amenities and family-friendly neighborhoods, Herriman delivers strong value. The tradeoffs are commute time to downtown Salt Lake (30 to 45 minutes depending on time of day) and HOA density.
How does Herriman compare to South Jordan or Riverton?
Herriman and South Jordan have similar medians ($611K vs. $625K in Q1 2026) but South Jordan has more master-planned variety thanks to Daybreak and faster downtown access. Riverton is older inventory with a slightly lower price point. Herriman has the most consistent newer-construction supply of the three. See our South Jordan page for the full comparison.
What does it cost to sell a house in Herriman?
Sellers typically pay 5 to 6 percent in agent commissions plus 1 to 3 percent in closing costs (title, recording, prorated taxes, transfer fees). Pre-listing prep matters more in Herriman than in some Wasatch Front cities because of the new-construction comparison effect. We give every Herriman seller a Net Sheet up front.
When is the best time to list a home in Herriman?
March through May is the strongest sellers’ window in Herriman, with the relocation and family-move buyer cycle peaking in spring. Summer is active but builder incentive promotions sometimes intensify the competition. Fall and winter listings face thinner traffic.
