Oakley

The 12-month median sold price in Oakley was about $707,380 for sales recorded through July 2026. That middle number hides a wide spread. In October 2026, active listings ran from $325,000 cabins in Weber Canyon to estates above $10 million in Maple Ridge Ranches and on Boulderville Road. In-town homes in North Bench Farms and Oakley Meadows were listed between $740,000 and $795,000 that same month.

Here are the facts so you can decide for yourself. The 2020 census counted 1,588 residents and 500 households in Oakley, and 40.2% of those households had children under 18. Oakley is in the South Summit School District, which enrolled 1,616 students in 2024-25; its elementary, middle and high schools are in Kamas, 8 to 10 minutes south. In town, the Oakley City Recreation Complex has the rodeo arena and 12 pickleball courts built in 2023.

My planning numbers are 8 to 10 minutes to Kamas Main Street, 30 to 35 minutes to Park City Main Street, and 55 to 65 minutes to downtown Salt Lake City. Winter weather and ski traffic can add time on the Park City and Salt Lake drives. Plan on driving: the High Valley Transit 102 bus runs between Francis, Kamas and Park City and does not list an Oakley stop, so the nearest one is the Kamas Park & Ride.

Ownwell's April 2026 data puts Oakley's median effective property tax rate at 0.33% and the median annual bill at $2,476, against a Utah median rate of 0.55%. If the home is your primary residence, Utah exempts 45% of its value from property tax. Summit County makes you apply for that through the Assessor, and you have to live in the home at least 183 consecutive days a year. Second homes are taxed on full value, so ask me how a property is classified before you compare tax bills.

Yes, with homework. Oakley paused new water hookups in 2021 during the drought, and the City Council lifted that moratorium on November 8, 2023, after drilling a new 2,000-foot well. Buildable lots are limited: in October 2026, homesites in River Haven on the Weber River were listed from $400,000 to $650,000. Before you offer on land, I confirm the water connection or well permit, sewer or septic, and whether the parcel is inside city limits or in unincorporated Summit County.

Compare it to the neighbors. For the second quarter of 2026, the Park City Board of Realtors reported a median single-family price of $3.8 million inside Park City limits and $2.25 million in the Snyderville Basin, while Oakley's 12-month median through July 2026 was about $707,380. For the lowest entry price, look at Weber Canyon cabin communities like Pine Mountain, Aspen Acres and Hidden Lake, and ask me which roads are plowed, because some are seasonal access only. My own listing at 3482 River Vu Road #37 in Hidden Lake was priced at $550,000 in October 2026.

Dollar volume jumped in 2026 while the typical price softened. The Park City Board of Realtors counted 10 single-family sales in Oakley and Weber Canyon in the second quarter of 2026, totaling $23.1 million, up 607% from the same quarter of 2025. Across the wider Kamas Valley, the 12-month single-family median was $795,000 at the end of June 2026, down 22% from the year before. With this few sales, one ranch closing swings the numbers, so I price from individual comps, not averages.

Yes, and it's the part of Oakley I know best, because I keep horses up the road in Coalville. Options run from 2-acre properties on the Oakley bench to Maple Ridge Ranches, a gated community of 38 homesites on more than 1,100 acres with private riding trails. Before price, I check water rights and irrigation shares, fencing, trailer access, and the animal rules for that parcel's zone. If you have at least five contiguous acres that have been in agricultural use for two years, ask about Utah's greenbelt program, which can lower the property tax on the land.
