Villas at Stone Creek is a 55+ community of 64 attached villas by Peterson Homes in West Jordan, the final phase of the wider Stone Creek master plan. A public park borders one side and the Clay Hollow Trail runs along the other.
The standard specification is the standout: no-step shower, adult-height double vanity, and deliberately wide doorways and halls, none of them upgrades. The clubhouse and pool, however, are still under construction.
Broker's note
The standard features here are the most thoughtfully specified of any 55+ villa I have looked at in the valley. A no-step shower, an adult-height double vanity, deliberately wide doorways and halls, and 2x6 exterior walls all come standard rather than as upgrades. Most builders make you ask, and some cannot do it at all after framing.
Read the amenities carefully. The builder's own page is headed 'Clubhouse and Amenities, Coming Soon,' and the pool, hot tub, fitness room, and pickleball court are on that list. Other pages describe them in the present tense as though they exist. Before you buy on the strength of a pool, get a written completion date. A promised amenity that arrives three years late is a real cost.
The other thing to be clear-eyed about: this is marketed as main-floor living, and the primary suite is downstairs, but every plan has a second level. It is not a true single-level home. If stairs are the whole reason you are moving, look at Bingham Point or a Leisure Villas community instead.
Location is genuinely good. A public park on one side, the Clay Hollow Trail on the other, and eight minutes to Jordan Valley Medical Center. For a west-side buyer who wants to walk every day, that is hard to beat.

Is this the right fit?
A good fit if you want
- Aging-in-place features as standard rather than upgrades: no-step shower, wide halls, adult-height vanity
- Walking every day, with a trail along one edge and a park on the other
- Being eight minutes from a full-service emergency room
- Two primary suites, which the base plans include
- New construction from an established Utah 55+ builder
Look elsewhere if
- You need true single-level living. Every plan here has a second level
- You are buying for the pool and clubhouse. Both are still under construction with no published completion date
- You want a detached home with no shared walls
- You want settled dues. The amount is not published anywhere
The homes
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 exactly what sits on the entry level.
- Primary suite on the entry level
- Laundry on the entry level
Marketed as main-floor living, and the primary suite is on the main floor. But every plan is a two-level home: the base versions carry a second bedroom upstairs and the bonus versions add more. Standard features are genuinely well thought out for aging in place, including a no-step shower, an adult-height double vanity, and deliberately wide doorways and halls.
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
- Clubhouse, under construction
- Pool and hot tub, planned
- Fitness room, planned
- Pickleball court, planned
- Social area and kitchen, planned
- Clay Hollow Trail along the south edge
- Large public park bordering the east side
The HOA
What the dues cover:
- Landscaping and yard care
- Snow removal
- Common-area maintenance
The dues amount is not published. Peterson's other 55+ community in West Valley runs around $255, but do not assume the same figure here. Ask the sales office and get it in writing.
Who actually runs this HOA
Registered with the Utah Department of Commerce as Villas at Stone Creek Owners Association Inc (registration 14248690-HOA1). Managed by ACS Community Management, Lehi.
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.
Who is actually allowed to live here
This is the part that blindsides families, so I would rather over-explain it.
Under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act, a community keeps its senior exemption as long as at least 80 percent of occupied homes have a resident 55 or older. That remaining 20 percent is the cushion associations use to allow a younger spouse, an early-50s buyer, or a surviving partner.
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?
Safety in West Jordan
According to FBI Uniform Crime Reporting figures for 2024, the latest available, West Jordan records roughly 3 violent and 15 property crimes per 1,000 residents per year.
These are citywide figures from FBI Uniform Crime Reporting for 2024, the latest full year available. They describe West Jordan as a whole rather than this community, and reported totals shift year to year. Treat them as general background on the area, not as a rating of this neighborhood.
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.
Starting here, roughly
—/mo
Based on this community's entry price of $579,900 , with (July 30, 2026 average), plus a typical Utah effective property tax rate and insurance. Utilities are not included.
Run your own numbers (opens in a new tab)These payment figures are an estimate for budgeting and planning only. They are not a mortgage quote, a loan offer, or a commitment to lend. Your actual rate and payment depend on your credit, loan program, and current market rates. Talk to a licensed mortgage professional for real numbers. Connect with our preferred Utah lender.
* 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 West Jordan. 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 on behalf of a parent, you are asking different questions than they are, and both sets are legitimate.
Some perspective, honestly offered: hands-on help from an adult child drops off sharply with distance. Weekly help hours fall from roughly three when you live on the same block to about one at two to five miles away, and keep falling from there. If you are weighing communities, distance from you matters more than most families treat it.
What to check here
How far it is from you. Whether the community is gated and how emergency services get in. Cell signal for a medical alert device. Broadband for telehealth. Whether an under-55 caregiver may live in. Whether the architectural committee permits a ramp or grab bars. And the overnight guest limit, which is the rule that quietly prevents you from staying a week to help.
What this community is, and what it is not
An active adult community 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.
Also worth knowing before you plan around it: Medicare does not pay for custodial help with bathing, dressing, meals, or housekeeping. It covers skilled, intermittent home health only. That gap is what actually forces the next move, and it catches families by surprise.
If you are coordinating with siblings
Agree among yourselves before anyone talks to your parents. The fastest way to derail this is one sibling feeling blindsided, and a parent who senses a united front they were not part of will dig in harder.
Decide early who is the point of contact, who handles the money conversation, and who is simply there for support. If the house eventually sells, the proceeds question tends to surface old family dynamics. Naming that in advance costs nothing and prevents a lot.
Paperwork worth locating now, not later
The deed, the mortgage payoff, a recent tax notice, and the HOA documents if there are any. If a parent may not be able to sign for themselves at some point, the power of attorney or trust paperwork matters enormously and is miserable to sort out under time pressure.
If the move is tied to care costs, talk to an elder law attorney and a CPA before anything sells. I am a broker, not a tax or legal advisor, but I work with families in this spot often and can point you to people who handle it properly.
The most common mistake is leading with logic. Parents who feel managed dig in. The families I see succeed start with what would make the next few years easier and more enjoyable, and let the house question follow.
I am glad to walk a community with the whole family at once and give the same honest read to everybody in the room. That is most of what I do.
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.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
-
Is the pool open at Villas at Stone Creek?
Not yet. The builder's own amenities page is headed 'Clubhouse and Amenities, Coming Soon,' and the pool, hot tub, fitness room, pickleball court, and social area all sit under that heading. Other marketing describes them in the present tense, which is misleading. If the amenities matter to your decision, ask for a written completion date before you buy.
-
Are the homes at Villas at Stone Creek single-level?
No, though they are marketed as main-floor living. The primary suite, kitchen, and laundry are on the main floor, but every plan has a second level, including a second primary suite in the base versions and additional space in the bonus versions. If avoiding stairs entirely is the reason you are moving, this is not the right community.
-
What floor plans are available at Villas at Stone Creek?
Three, each in a base and a bonus-room version: the Cate at about 1,766 square feet or 2,400 with the bonus, the Duke at 1,935 or 2,569, and the Sawyer at 1,935 or 2,569. Older listings referencing Browning, Harrison, or Emerson plans are out of date.
-
What accessibility features come standard at Villas at Stone Creek?
A no-step shower, an adult-height double vanity, and deliberately wide doorways and hallways, all standard rather than as upgrades. That is unusually thorough. Wide doorways in particular are expensive to change later and are the feature most likely to determine whether a home still works for you in fifteen years.
-
How many homes are at Villas at Stone Creek?
The builder's site plan shows lots numbered 101 through 164, which is 64 villas, plus a future section. It is the final phase completing the wider Stone Creek master plan in West Jordan.
-
Is Villas at Stone Creek still selling?
Yes. The community's own site carried a Now Selling banner in July 2026 and offers three plans, the Sawyer, the Duke, and the Cate, each available with or without a bonus room. One aggregator lists it as sold out, and that same aggregator publishes a garbled square-footage field for this community, so disregard it. Confirm current lot availability with the sales office.
