New Construction Near Silicon Slopes: Utah County Side vs. Salt Lake County Side
Silicon Slopes sits right at the Lehi and Draper border, so a commuter can buy new construction on either side of the county line. On the Utah County side, Lehi puts you closest but runs a median near $767,000 for new single-family; Saratoga Springs (median about $698,000) and Eagle Mountain (about $563,000) trade commute time for a lower price. On the Salt Lake County side, Herriman (about $805,000), South Jordan (about $755,000), and West Jordan (about $761,000) are comparable in size and lot but priced higher, with a shorter drive to the north end of the tech corridor and downtown Salt Lake. As of September 2026, the widest gap is Eagle Mountain versus Herriman — roughly $242,000 for a similar home — and the narrowest is Lehi versus the southwest Salt Lake cities, within about $40,000. These counts and prices are a snapshot of active MLS listings as of September 2026 and shift week to week; they cover homes posted to the MLS, not every builder’s inventory.
