Quick answer
Sagewood Gardens is an age-qualified 55+ community in Stansbury Park, Tooele County, Utah, built by Ivory Homes, with about 76 homes. Homes are single-family homes running 1,405 to 2,733 square feet, priced $447,000 to $633,000. New homes are still available from the builder.
It is a residential community, not assisted living or senior care. There is no staff, no nursing, and no meal service. Residents own their homes.
Verified August 2026 by Kris Bowen, Utah real estate broker and senior move specialist. 801-999-8005
Sagewood Gardens is a gated 40-lot 55+ pod inside the 424-parcel all-ages Sagewood Village. The master community is not age-restricted.
The pool and amenity lot are verified built. About a third of the completed homes have two floors.
Broker's note
Get the name right, because it decides what you are buying. Sagewood Village is a 424-parcel Ivory Homes master community with no age restriction at all. The 55+ portion is a separately platted 40-parcel pod called Sagewood Gardens. Anyone describing Sagewood Village as a 55+ community is wrong about 90 percent of it.
Ivory sells these as homes designed for main-level living, and that is mostly true but not uniformly. Nine of the 28 completed homes, about a third, are recorded with two above-grade floors at 2,159 to 2,733 square feet. Single-level is the dominant plan, not the universal one, so verify the specific home.
The amenity parcel is real and built. County records show a tax-exempt association lot with a structure completed in 2024 on just over an acre, assessed at $604,752. That valuation on that acreage is consistent with a clubhouse-plus-pool-plus-pickleball amenity lot rather than a building alone. Ivory describes a pool, pickleball, a putting green, walking trails, two pocket parks, and full yard maintenance with snow removal to individual homes.
Two open items. Sagewood Gardens has no state registration of its own, only the master does, and the master's registered president is Ivory Homes, so the developer still controls that board. And no dues figure is published anywhere. Given a likely two-tier structure, ask for both the master assessment and the Gardens assessment in writing.

Is this the right fit?
A good fit if you want
- A gated pod with a pool, pickleball and a putting green
- Full yard maintenance plus snow removal to your own home
- New construction with phases still selling
- Thirty minutes to the Salt Lake airport
Look elsewhere if
- You assume every home is single-level. About a third are not
- You want a published dues figure before touring
- You want a resident-controlled board. The developer still runs the master
The homes
Where this stands, August 2026: Actively selling. 40 parcels platted in phase one with 28 built and 7 lots vacant; Ivory's plan is 76 homes total, so later phases are unplatted. Completed homes assessed $440,659 to $633,002, advertised from $447,000.
What "single-level" actually means here
Plenty of 55+ homes advertise main-floor living and still put the laundry in the basement or the second bedroom upstairs. Here is what actually sits on the entry level at Sagewood Gardens.
- Primary suite on the entry level
- Laundry on the entry level
- All daily essentials on one floor
Single-level is the dominant plan but not the universal one. Nine of the 28 completed homes, 32 percent, are recorded with two above-grade floors at 2,159 to 2,733 square feet.
What to ask the builder before drywall goes up
- Grab-bar blocking in the bathroom walls. It costs almost nothing during framing and is expensive to add later. Nobody thinks to ask.
- Interior door clear width. 32 inches is the minimum that stays workable; 36 is better.
- Whether the primary shower could go curbless later, which depends on the slab and drain location.
- Which entry is step-free. A garage on the same level as the house is usually the cheapest one a home has, and it is almost never advertised.
Amenities
- Gated entry
- Community pool
- Pickleball court
- Putting green
- Walking trails and two pocket parks
- Full yard maintenance and individual-home snow removal
The HOA
No dues figure is published anywhere. Given the master and sub structure, ask for both tiers in writing before you budget.
Who actually runs this HOA
Registered with the Utah Department of Commerce as Sagewood Village Homeowners Association (registration 14246966-MHOA). Managed by Community Solutions and Sales, Draper. The registry also records it as subject to a master association, so expect a second set of dues on top of this one.
Only the master is registered. Sagewood Gardens, the 55+ portion, has no registration of its own. The master's registered president is Ivory Homes, so the developer still controls that board.
This is the entity to ask for the budget, the reserve study, and the recorded CC&Rs. I request those for clients as a matter of course.
Two cautions I give every client buying into a newer association
Developer-set dues are introductory. While a builder still controls the association, dues are commonly set low and reserves underfunded, because low dues sell houses. After homeowners take over, boards routinely raise dues and levy assessments to catch up. Ask for the projected turnover date.
Ask for the reserve study, and check its date. Utah law requires a reserve analysis at least every six years, reviewed at least every three, with an annual summary to owners. Under 70 percent funded is a yellow flag. Under 50 percent is a real problem, and the bill arrives as a special assessment after you close.
What I have not been able to confirm at Sagewood Gardens
Builders and associations do not publish everything, and some of what they do publish disagrees with the MLS. Rather than pick whichever number reads better, here is what is still open on this community as of August 2026. Ask for each of these in writing before you write an offer, or ask me and I will chase them down.
- HOA dues at both the master and Gardens tiers
- The recorded declaration, and whether the 55+ restriction attaches only to the Gardens plat
- Whether the gate encloses the Gardens pod alone or is shared with the master
Who is actually allowed to live here
Sagewood Gardens is age-qualified, which is the looser of the two legal standards and the one families most often misread.
Under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act the association keeps its senior exemption as long as at least 80 percent of occupied homes have a resident 55 or older. The other 20 percent is real, usable room, and it is what lets a younger spouse, an early-50s buyer, or a surviving partner hold a home here. How much of that room is left is a question about this specific association, not about the law.
The thing almost nobody knows: HOPA does not, by itself, protect an under-55 surviving spouse. Whether your husband or wife can stay after you are gone depends entirely on the recorded CC&Rs. Some communities include an explicit survivor clause. Some leave it to the board. Some are silent, which is the worst version.
Get these answered in writing before you write an offer
- Can a surviving spouse under 55 remain, and is it written down or left to the board?
- Can an heir under 55 inherit and live in the home, or only rent or sell it?
- How much of the 20 percent cushion is already in use? If the community sits at 19 percent, there is no room left for your spouse. This is obtainable from the association and virtually nobody asks.
- Can a live-in caregiver under 55 stay if one of you needs help?
- How many days per year may a younger guest stay, and does that constrain a summer with the grandchildren?

The question adult children ask that nobody answers
How does an ambulance get in? If a community is gated or has controlled access, ask whether the fire district has a Knox box or gate code on file, and whether the first-due unit carries a paramedic. That detail matters more than the drive time does.
A useful benchmark: Medicare Advantage network adequacy rules set maximum time and distance standards by county type. In large metro counties the primary care standard is 10 minutes or 5 miles.
If you stop driving
The least-discussed risk in active adult housing. Losing the ability to drive roughly doubles the risk of depression symptoms and social isolation, and where a home sits determines how hard that transition is.
- Is there a continuous sidewalk to anything useful, or does every errand require a car?
- What is the walk to a grocery store or pharmacy on the actual sidewalk route?
- Is the address inside a UTA paratransit service area? ADA paratransit generally covers within three quarters of a mile of a fixed route.
- Does a county senior transport or volunteer ride program serve this address?
What it really costs each month
The sticker price is the least interesting number. What matters is the monthly nut, and how it compares to what you are paying now.

* Based on what the community and builder publish about the dues, which I have looked up rather than assumed. It is not confirmed against the association's own budget and governing documents, and exactly what is covered can differ by phase, by home type, and over time. I pull the current budget and CC&Rs for clients before they write an offer.
This is the honest case for a 55+ community, and it is the one most people get wrong. The HOA fee is not purely an added cost. It replaces line items you already pay on a larger home, in cash or in your own labor. When someone tells me downsizing does not pencil, we usually find they compared the mortgage and the dues and left out the lawn service, the snow, and the roof they will need in six years.
Typical utilities
Rough monthly ranges for a home this size in Stansbury Park. Utilities are the line item people most often forget to compare, and they are usually where a smaller home wins.
Estimates only, and they vary a lot. A townhome, a condo, and a detached single-family home of the same square footage can run very differently, and so can two neighbors in identical homes depending on thermostat habits, occupancy, and whether the yard is irrigated. Treat these as a starting point, then ask for the actual bills on a specific address.
For the son or daughter reading this
If you are researching Sagewood Gardens on behalf of a parent, you are asking different questions than they are, and both sets are legitimate.
What to check at Sagewood Gardens specifically
- How far Stansbury Park is from you. Hands-on help from an adult child falls off sharply with distance, so treat that drive as a real factor rather than a detail.
- Access here is controlled, so ask whether the fire district holds a gate code or a Knox box, and whether the first-due unit can get in without waiting on a call back.
- Whether a live-in caregiver under 55 is permitted. The recorded CC&Rs decide that, not the sales office.
- Whether the architectural committee permits a ramp or grab bars, and what the overnight guest limit is. That last rule is the one that quietly stops you staying a week to help.
Sagewood Gardens is real estate, not care. There is no staff, no nurses, no meals, and no call system. If your parent needs help with bathing, dressing, or medication, that is assisted living, which is a different product entirely. Buying here because it sounds like a safer version of a house is the most expensive mistake families make.
The rest of it, coordinating with siblings, the paperwork worth locating now, the Medicare gap that catches families out, and how to raise the subject without a fight, is written out once in the family guide rather than repeated on every community page.
Other 55+ communities to compare
Worth a look before you decide. I would rather you tour two or three than fall for the first one you see.

Frequently asked questions
-
Is Sagewood Village a 55+ community?
No, only a small part of it is. Sagewood Village is a 424-parcel Ivory Homes master community with 356 residential lots and no age restriction. The 55+ portion is a separately platted pod of 40 parcels called Sagewood Gardens. Describing the whole of Sagewood Village as 55+ misstates roughly 90 percent of it.
-
Are the homes at Sagewood Gardens single-level?
Mostly, but not all. Nine of the 28 completed homes, about 32 percent, are recorded with two above-grade floors at 2,159 to 2,733 square feet. Ivory markets these as designed for main-level living, which is accurate for the dominant plan but not for every home. Verify the specific one.
-
Does Sagewood Gardens have a pool?
Yes, and the amenity parcel is verifiable rather than promised. County records show a tax-exempt association lot with a structure built in 2024 on just over an acre, assessed at $604,752, which is consistent with a clubhouse, pool and pickleball lot rather than a building alone. Ivory also describes a putting green, walking trails, two pocket parks, and full yard maintenance with snow removal to individual homes.
-
Is Sagewood Gardens registered with the state?
Not on its own. Only the master, Sagewood Village Homeowners Association, is registered, and its listed president is Ivory Homes, meaning the developer still controls that board. The 55+ Gardens pod has no separate registration. That also means no published dues figure exists, and with a likely two-tier structure you should ask for both the master and Gardens assessments in writing.
