Taylorsville's $499,904 average home value and $86,413 median household income both run lower than the other three Salt Lake County Tier B markets built in this same pass -- a real, practical, lower-cost entry point into the valley.
Pro: real, direct TRAX Blue Line access
Vista Station gives Taylorsville a genuine transit advantage over more car-dependent Salt Lake County suburbs, alongside a real central location within the valley.
Con: an honestly disclosed, above-national-average crime rate
NeighborhoodScout's data shows Taylorsville's combined crime rate running considerably higher than the national average and higher than 92% of Utah's own cities and towns -- a real, disclosed nuance that should weigh into any relocation decision.
Con: a dense, largely built-out housing stock
Taylorsville is a dense, largely built-out inner-ring suburb rather than a new-construction market -- buyers wanting a brand-new subdivision should look toward Riverton or Herriman instead, built elsewhere in this same batch.
Key takeaways
- Pro: genuine affordability -- the lowest home value and household income among this batch's four Salt Lake County Tier B markets.
- Pro: real, direct TRAX Blue Line access via Vista Station.
- Con: an honestly disclosed, above-national-average crime rate per NeighborhoodScout.
- Con: a dense, largely built-out housing stock rather than new-construction inventory.
