South Jordan: Spacious Living in the Heart of the Valley

While many people know South Jordan for the Daybreak community, the rest of the city offers a completely different vibe: space, privacy, and custom luxury. Known for its equestrian roots and larger lot sizes, South Jordan is the perfect destination for buyers who want room to breathe without leaving the city.

From the luxury estates near the Jordan River Temple to the horse properties of Bonanza Acres, this area blends rural charm with modern convenience. You are never far from premier shopping at The District, golfing at Glenmoor, or easy commuting via I-15 and the newly completed Bangerter Highway interchanges.

Frequently Asked Questions About South Jordan

What is the difference between South Jordan and Daybreak?
Daybreak is a master-planned community inside South Jordan characterized by smaller lots, high walkability, and extensive HOA amenities. The rest of South Jordan (often called "Traditional South Jordan") typically features custom homes on half-acre lots and horse properties with no HOA fees.
Is South Jordan a good location for commuters?
Yes. It is arguably the most centrally located city in the valley. With easy access to I-15, Bangerter Highway, and the Mountain View Corridor, you can reach downtown Salt Lake or the Lehi Tech Slopes in under 20 minutes. The recent removal of stoplights on Bangerter Highway has made this even faster.
How are the schools in South Jordan?
The city is served by the Jordan School District, which includes highly rated schools like Bingham High and South Jordan Middle. There are also several top-tier charter schools, including the American Academy of Innovation.
Does South Jordan have secondary water?
Yes, many older neighborhoods and larger lots in South Jordan have access to secondary water (canal water) for irrigation. This is a massive benefit for homeowners with half-acre or one-acre lots, as it significantly lowers the cost of keeping lawns and pastures green during the summer.
