Maintaining close-knit community amid rapid growth
Beginning as a 19th-century agricultural settlement in the foothills of the Traverse and Oquirrh Mountains, Herriman exploded with planned developments and population growth in the 1990s and 2000s, eventually incorporating with Salt Lake City as residents tried to manage their rapidly expanding community. “A lot of new development is happening in the southwest part of Salt Lake,” says Jonathan LaFollette, Communications Manager for Herriman. “Even as it grows, Herriman is a friendly, tight-knit environment. People like to do things together and help each other out.” Gatherings throughout the year, including summer rodeos, winter holiday events and the annual Fort Herriman Towne Days celebration, are incredibly well attended by locals, making it easy to get involved and meet neighbors.
There are many small retailers in the Herriman neighborhood.

Suburban-style developments with 21st century homes
Most homes in Herriman were built in the 21st century as a part of master-planned subdivisions with meticulously organized streets and well-maintained lawns. For those looking for a custom build, new developments are ongoing. On close-set lots, three-bedroom bungalows and multi-story New Traditional-style homes with neutral siding can sell for as little as $500,000, while on quarter-acre lots, five-bedroom properties with stone exteriors and steeply gabled roofs can sell for around $750,000. The largest homes in Herriman feature Modernist architecture on half-acre lots with seven bedrooms and covered patios or in-ground pools, often selling for more than $1 million. Two-bedroom New Traditional-style townhomes with one-car garages from the 2000s can sell for as little as $300,000, while recently built four-bedroom townhomes with two-car garages can go for over $500,000.

Mountainous hiking trails through the Rose and Yellow Canyon
Pocket parks and playgrounds are sprinkled throughout the housing developments of Herriman, although W&M Butterfield Park is the most popular, with 60 acres of fields, playgrounds and volleyball courts. The park’s rodeo arenas host three days of roping, riding and racing events in the summer with packed stands. “Herriman has a big emphasis on parks and trails,” La Follette says. “We’re on the hillside overlooking the valley; it’s very scenic.” Set amongst the mountains to the west, Rose and Yellow Fork Canyon is a popular destination for hikers, bikers and bird watchers. Dirt trails wind through dry brush with stunning mountain views and are teaming with butterflies in the spring. JL Sorenson Recreation Center features a small water park, lap pool and fitness center to cool off in the warmer months.
