Herriman, Utah
A fast-growing southwest Salt Lake County city with new construction, neighborhoods with parks, trails, and recreation, and dramatic mountain views.
Herriman is one of Utah's fastest-growing cities, with a projected population of approximately 64,000 as of early 2026. Located in southwest Salt Lake County along the foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains, it offers a compelling mix of new construction, family-oriented neighborhoods, and stunning mountain scenery. The city has attracted builders like EDGEhomes and Toll Brothers, with new residential developments continuing at a strong pace. Herriman combines a slightly more accessible price point than neighboring South Jordan and Draper with the outdoor access and community feel that draw families to Utah's southwest corridor.
What Makes Herriman Special
Parks & Recreation
Herriman maintains extensive recreational spaces including Wardle Fields Regional Park, Oquirrh Shadows Park, and the multi-phase Juniper Canyon Recreation Area, scheduled for completion of its third phase by late 2026.
New Construction & Master Plans
Herriman is the epicenter of massive master-planned growth, including the 933-acre Olympia Hills expansion (with Great Basin by Richmond American Homes) and the 550+ acre mixed-use Panorama community, complete with major future public amenities like Panorama Park.
Mountain Backdrop
The Oquirrh Mountains form Herriman's western border, providing dramatic scenery, hiking access, and a natural buffer that gives the community a sense of seclusion despite its convenient location.
Growing Infrastructure
The city is investing in road improvements including the 6000 West widening project (approved February 2026) and expanding amenities to keep pace with its rapid residential growth.
Schools
Herriman is served by the Jordan School District, which provides public education at all levels. Local schools include Herriman High School, Foothills Elementary, and Butterfield Canyon Elementary. The district's open enrollment policies give families flexibility, and the city's growing population continues to drive investment in new school facilities and programs.
