About Bluffdale

Living in Bluffdale

Bluffdale occupies the narrow Point of the Mountain corridor at the southern end of Salt Lake Valley — a geographically unique position that gives it quick access to both Salt Lake City and Utah County's Silicon Slopes. The city incorporated in 1978 and has grown steadily as south valley development pushes toward Utah County.

The NSA Utah Data Center — a massive 1.5 million square foot facility completed in 2013 — put Bluffdale on the national map and brought significant infrastructure investment to the area. The facility employs hundreds of contractors and government personnel and has accelerated commercial development along Bluffdale's I-15 corridor.

Bluffdale retains more of its rural character than comparable south valley cities. Equestrian properties with 1–5 acre lots remain common throughout the city, and development standards that maintain larger lot minimums in certain zones have preserved a semi-rural aesthetic that buyers from Utah County's crowded corridors find refreshing.

FAQ

Questions About Living in Bluffdale

Is Bluffdale a good place for horses?
Yes — Bluffdale has more equestrian-friendly zoning than most Salt Lake County cities. Many neighborhoods have 1-acre+ lots, horse keeping is permitted in agricultural zones, and the city maintains equestrian trail connections. It's one of the valley's last practical equestrian communities.
How is the commute from Bluffdale?
Bluffdale sits on I-15 between Salt Lake County and Utah County — 30 minutes to SLC, 15 minutes to Silicon Slopes in Lehi. The I-15 corridor can see significant congestion during peak hours. Many Bluffdale residents commute south to Lehi/Saratoga Springs rather than north to SLC.
Are Bluffdale home prices rising?
Yes — Bluffdale has appreciated steadily, driven by Silicon Slopes employment growth pulling demand south from Draper and Sandy. The city's relative affordability vs. Draper ($625K) and Riverton ($530K) continues to attract buyers seeking larger lots at lower prices.
