If you are looking for an idyllic home on a large lot but don’t want to sacrifice access to modern conveniences, you’ll find the best of both worlds in the new-home community Riley Park in Erda, Utah. This small, curated development features beautiful homes on 1-acre lots with 3-4 bedrooms and 3-car garages. The community is set so that its main street ends in a cul de sac, and the property is zoned to allow for livestock. The large lot size gives room to spread out, store toys, and enjoy outdoor recreation, while still being about 25 miles southwest of Salt Lake City. Erda is a charming town located in the Tooele Valley, tucked between the Stansbury and Oquirrh Mountain ranges. Erda is known for its rural lifestyle and easy access to outdoor activities. It’s not uncommon to see horses or tractors on the road, and residents can watch a movie under the stars at one of the state’s few remaining drive-in theaters. The Riley Park development is about 6 miles south of the Great Salt Lake, one of the environmental jewels of the state. It’s also within 2 miles of the Desert Peak Utah Temple, and about 3 miles from the Utah Motorsports Campus, an auto, motorcycle and go-kart racetrack. The nearby Pine Canyon Conservation Area is a popular hiking location, and there’s plenty of room to ride bikes and all-terrain vehicles in Erda as well. Riley Park’s easy access to Salt Lake City means homeowners are never too far from modern amenities such as shopping, healthcare, industry and culture. Riley Park is less than 5 miles from Interstate 80 and about 22 miles from the Salt Lake City International Airport. But Riley Park’s rustic location means homeowners will still be able to enjoy a picturesque, small-town lifestyle.
