Salt Lake County city guide

Bluffdale

Open space, equestrian roots, Jordan River trails, newer neighborhoods, Point of the Mountain access, and an easy relationship with northern Utah County.

Hello, Bluffdale

A crossroads city that still knows what a horse trailer looks like.

Bluffdale sits where Salt Lake Valley, Point of the Mountain, and northern Utah County begin to overlap. It combines older rural and equestrian properties with subdivisions, townhomes, new commercial corridors, trails, and quick routes toward Draper, Lehi, Riverton, and Herriman.

Housing includes established homes on larger parcels, horse property, planned neighborhoods, townhomes, and recent construction. Water rights, animal allowances, sewer service, access, future roads, grading, drainage, HOA rules, and neighboring land use matter greatly.
