Living in Tooele: Small Town Feel, Big Value
Located just over the Oquirrh Mountains from Salt Lake, Tooele offers a refreshing pace of life. It is the premier choice for buyers who want to escape the valley crowds while enjoying expansive open spaces, fresh air, and unmatched affordability. Home to the Utah Motorsports Campus and the historic Benson Grist Mill, Tooele maintains a strong rural soul while rapidly evolving with modern amenities.
The city is currently in the middle of a major retail and infrastructure surge. The Founders Pointe center has successfully brought top-tier brands like Hobby Lobby and Ulta to the community, and the massive new Smith's Marketplace at 2400 North is now officially open as of early 2026. Commuters are also seeing relief as the SR-36 Widening Project enters its final phase this Spring 2026, promising the smoothest connection to I-80 in the city's history.
