• How many apartments for rent are available in West Jordan, UT right now?

  Roomster lists 7 apartments for rent around West Jordan, concentrated along the Jordan Landing corridor and the TRAX Red Line, with newer construction spreading west toward the Mountain View Corridor. This is a growing but homeowner-dominated suburb - only about 23 percent of households rent - so apartment supply is real but not deep, and the newer complexes out west are where most of the availability has been added. Demand here is driven less by students and more by professionals commuting to Silicon Slopes, the valley's hospitals, and downtown Salt Lake.

• How much does it cost to rent an apartment in West Jordan, UT?

  A one-bedroom runs about $1,100 to $1,225 and a two-bedroom lands near $1,540, with studios around $1,100 and three-bedrooms closer to $2,195. You can find one-bedrooms under $1,200 a month in the older east-side buildings near Redwood Road and the Jordan River, while the newer west-side complexes near the Mountain View Corridor sit at the top. Be aware of the direction of travel: Salt Lake Valley rents surged after 2020 and West Jordan is up more than 10 percent over the past year, so this is a firm, rising market - do not expect the bargains you would have found here five years ago.

• What are the most affordable areas to rent in West Jordan?

  The older east side, toward Redwood Road, the Jordan River, and Gardner Village, holds the more affordable apartments, since the newer west-side and southwest construction near the Mountain View Corridor commands a premium. Stepping into neighboring West Valley City to the north or Kearns will generally save you more, while heading south into Sandy or South Jordan costs noticeably more. That mid-valley positioning is West Jordan's story: it is the middle-priced choice for anyone who wants Salt Lake Valley access without Sandy or South Jordan prices, and a manageable southbound drive to the Silicon Slopes tech corridor.

• Is there rent control in West Jordan, UT?

  No, and there cannot be. Utah law prohibits cities from enacting rent control, so neither West Jordan nor any other Utah municipality has it, and there is no statewide cap. Utah is a landlord-friendly state - there is also no cap on security deposits. What the state did add recently gives renters more warning: under a 2025 law, a landlord must give at least 60 days written notice before a rent increase above 10 percent, and must disclose fees and screening criteria up front before collecting any fees. On deposits, the landlord must return yours with an itemized list within 30 days of move-out, or 15 days after you provide a forwarding address, whichever is later.

• What deposit and fees should I expect in West Jordan?

  Utah caps nothing, so the deposit is whatever the landlord asks - weigh it alongside the rent. The 2025 disclosure law works in your favor here: before you pay any fee, the landlord has to give you a good-faith estimate of rent and fees, the screening criteria, and the refund terms in writing, which makes it easier to compare places honestly. Your deposit must come back with an itemized statement within 30 days of the lease ending, or 15 days after you give a forwarding address, whichever is later. Ask what is included, and if you are renting in winter, ask how the building handles the valley's inversion-season air, since West Jordan sits in the basin where the smog settles.

• How does West Jordan compare to Sandy or South Jordan on rent?

  West Jordan is the cheaper of the three. Its rents run below both Sandy and South Jordan, its wealthier neighbors to the south, where averages push past $2,200 and $2,300 - while West Jordan's all-unit figures land in the high $1,000s depending on the survey. You give up a little of the newer, master-planned feel of Daybreak in South Jordan, but you keep the same TRAX Red Line access and a similar drive to the Silicon Slopes tech corridor. For a renter weighing the southwest valley, West Jordan is usually the value pick, and West Valley City just north is the one place that reliably undercuts it.
