Suburban neighborhood ideal for Salt Lake City commuters

Copper Hills is a residential community in West Jordan about 19 miles southwest of Salt Lake City; its name is an homage to nearby copper mines that were operational in the 1860s. Today, West Jordan is better known for its modern, upscale homes that line clean, well-paved, suburban streets, with views of the Stansbury Mountains rising in the west. “Copper Hills is a very family-friendly neighborhood,” says Carlos Nelson, a Realtor with Experts Real Estate and more than 10 years of experience in West Jordan. “Typical buyers here are professionals who work in Salt Lake City but want a quieter neighborhood to raise their families.” Locals have convenient access to area shopping and dining at Jordan Landing, just 3 miles away, and the neighborhood receives a low CAP Index Crime Score of 2, compared to the national average of 4.

New Traditional homes in Copper Hills

The average home value in Copper Hills is about $590,000, and most homes go for between $450,000 and $750,000. Residential streets are lined with sidewalks, and well-kept front lawns are dotted with trees. The neighborhood’s ramblers (either raised or split-level) and two-story New Traditional homes are either newly constructed or remodeled; a four-bed, three-bath remodeled home goes for about $600,000, while a six-bed, four-bath New Traditional version from the 2010s goes for closer to $700,000. “The price points in Copper Hills are higher than a lot of other neighborhoods in that area, but the new construction and the size are what you’re paying for. And the convenience of the location pushes the prices up, too,” says Nelson.
