Living in West Jordan: The Heart of the West Side

As one of the largest cities in the valley, West Jordan offers an incredible mix of affordability and convenience. It is home to Jordan Landing, one of the largest shopping and dining complexes in Utah, meaning residents have everything they need right down the street.

From the established neighborhoods near the Jordan River Trail to the newer developments out west near the Oquirrh Mountains, West Jordan is a top choice for buyers who want solid value without sacrificing amenities. Commuters are also seeing major relief with the 2025 completion of the 9000 South widening project, which added lanes and bike paths from Redwood Road to Bangerter Highway.
