Suburban community by the Oquirrh Mountains
Each morning at first light, the Oquirrh Mountains cast a long shadow over the West Jordan suburb of Oquirrh (pronounced “O-Kerr”), lending the neighborhood its name. Sixteen miles from Salt Lake City, this is where buyers turn to find newer homes at a lower cost than in the capital or nearby resort communities. “People in western neighborhoods, like Oquirrh, care most about finding the house they want and are willing to compromise on location,” says Steve Gilbert, a Realtor with eXp Realty. The neighborhood is dotted with churches, schools and convenient access to local shopping and dining centers; the area also receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 2, which is lower than the national average of 4.

More affordable homes in Oquirrh
Within subdivisions lined with sidewalks and well-kept lawns, New Traditional, split-level ramblers and Craftsman-style homes from the late 1990s are common, and many have been newly renovated; common features include fenced-in backyards, short driveways and modest porticos. The average home price in Oquirrh is about $480,000, compared to West Jordan neighborhoods to the east, such as Copper Hills and Edenbrooke, where the average is closer to $600,000; Gilbert says those who live in these pricier suburbs pay a premium to be closer to Mt. Olympus and its popular ski resorts.

Enjoying the fresh air at neighborhood parks
The 60-acre Lodestone Park, located just outside Oquirrh’s northwestern corner, is one of the most popular residential parks, with paved paths that lead to pickleball, tennis and basketball courts, and a mining-themed playground where kids can weave through rope courses, climb massive tires and swing down the zipline. Residents in the southern half of Oquirrh can walk to Oquirrh Highlands Park, which features a playground and open fields ideal for picnicking. About 3 miles away, the Ridge Golf Club offers an 18-hole public course with scenic views of the Oquirrh Mountains.
