Herriman
About the area
Herriman is one of the fastest-growing cities in Salt Lake County, occupying the Oquirrh Mountain foothills in the southwest valley across 23.1 square miles. The housing stock is predominantly new single-family construction with a growing townhome inventory, and active new-construction communities run throughout the city. Rosecrest, the city's original master-planned community, covers more than 2,500 acres and has been developing since 1999. Anthem, built by Richmond American Homes, and the 600-plus-acre Panorama master plan add further single-family, townhome, and apartment product across multiple builders. Ivory Homes is the dominant builder city-wide, with 38-plus communities in the area.

Amenities & Lifestyle
Herriman's outdoor infrastructure punches above its size for a city this young. Blackridge Reservoir offers a sandy beach, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, a playground, and a scenic trailhead set against the Oquirrh Mountains. Herriman Hills Trail System covers more than 1,500 acres of city-purchased open space with singletrack for mountain bikers, trail runners, and hikers—trails like Blackridge, Sidewinder, and the Diamondback Loop climb to ridgeline views of the Salt Lake Valley. Yellow Fork and Rose Canyon Trail offer shaded, picnic-friendly terrain. J. Lynn Crane Park and Plaza serves as the city's community hub: an outdoor amphitheater for summer concerts, a seasonal splash pad, a winter ice ribbon, pergolas and fire pits, and a farmers market. The Rosecrest Splash Pad serves the southwest neighborhood.
Getting Around
Herriman does not have a direct I-15 on-ramp; the primary connector to the freeway network is Bangerter Highway, reached via South Jordan to the north. The Mountain View Corridor runs along Herriman's western edge and provides a direct southwest bypass. Downtown SLC is approximately 32 minutes north; the airport is about 26 minutes—notably closer than downtown because Herriman sits southwest rather than due south. South Jordan, the nearest employment and retail hub, is 10 to 15 minutes north. Silicon Slopes in Lehi is roughly 30 to 40 minutes south via Bangerter and MVC. There is no TRAX or FrontRunner station in Herriman; UTA On Demand microtransit connects residents to the nearest FrontRunner station at South Jordan.
Fast-Growth Master-Planned New Construction
Herriman's growth trajectory is among the most dramatic in Utah. Rosecrest, the city's original master-planned community, covers more than 2,500 acres in the southwest valley and has been developing since 1999. Anthem, built by Richmond American Homes, added sub-communities including Anthem Acadia Park, Arches Park, and Yukon Park, with planned amenities and proximity to a future TRAX station. Juniper Crest occupies the eastern hillside. The 600-plus-acre Panorama master plan, approved by the city in November 2024, is developing with an infrastructure-first approach across a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments. The Commons at Herriman Towne Center, a 200,000-plus-square-foot retail and restaurant development, broke ground June 27, 2025.

Jordan School District serves all of Herriman. Herriman High School (opened fall 2010, approximately 2,784 students) occupies a 50-acre campus with valley and mountain views and also serves Daybreak (South Jordan) students. Middle schools include Copper Mountain Middle, Mountain Creek Middle, Fort Herriman Middle, and Elk Ridge Middle.
