Salt Lake County city guide

South Jordan

Established neighborhoods, Jordan River trails, regional services, growing western villages, TRAX, parks, golf, and an increasingly lively downtown.

Hello, South Jordan

A broad southwest-valley city with more than one center of gravity.

South Jordan stretches from established neighborhoods near the Jordan River and Redwood Road to Daybreak’s villages, Oquirrh Lake, TRAX stations, and fast-growing Downtown Daybreak. Shopping, healthcare, parks, schools, recreation, and regional routes make it unusually self-contained.

Housing includes older homes, larger parcels, mature subdivisions, condos, townhomes, active-adult communities, custom properties, and new construction. Location within the city affects commute, HOA layers, secondary water, transit, construction, and the everyday character of home.

Local flavor

Summerfest, kite weather, chalk art, ballpark nights, river trails, mini golf, lake paddles, and a root-beer garden.

SoJo Summerfest fills early June with a parade, music, carnival rides, food trucks, artisan vendors, races, chalk art, performances, fireworks, and gleefully busy parks. Daybreak adds concerts, markets, races, arts, and resident programs throughout the year.

South Jordan City Park, Riverfront Park, Mulligans Golf & Games, Gale Center Museum, Oquirrh Lake, Daybreak trails, the Watercourse, the ballpark, and Jordan River Parkway cover everything from quiet walks to a very competitive round of miniature golf.
