New construction homes in Herriman.

New construction is not a niche in Herriman, it is the city. A farm hamlet of about 1,500 people in 2000 became a bench city of more than 55,000 by 2020, which means nearly everything here is post-millennium and the building has not stopped. As of mid-2026 there are roughly three active theaters. Olympia, the 933-acre master plan on the northwest corner capped at 6,330 units, is the volume frontier, with its first subdivisions approved and infrastructure in. Rosecrest, the original plan that turned the hamlet into a city, is still building its final phases up the central and upper bench. And Anthem and the southern districts add newer master-planned product with trails and parks. Which plan you shop changes the lot size, the price, and even the drive, so naming the area is the first step.

A straight word on names and numbers. Builder, subdivision, and phase names move fast here, phases sell out and rotate constantly, and the live grid above is the honest count on any given week, so this page does not promise you a specific builder or a price floor. What it can do is filter the MLS to newly built and under-construction listings, and a local partner agent can walk you through which phases are actually open, which lots are left, what the finishes are, and any incentives a builder is running this month. For the wider picture first, the Herriman guide and the full listings page are the two best starting points, and detached medians across the city run near $600,000 to anchor your expectations.

Where a new home sits on the bench decides a lot. The lower and east, valley-side ground is closest to Riverton's retail and the Mountain View Corridor; the upper and south bench is newer, higher, windier, with views and trail access but graded driveways and snow that lingers; and the far south runs toward Camp Williams, where periodic training noise carries in. One Herriman-specific item belongs on every new-build checklist: ask which water system the home is on, because the city runs a seasonal secondary, or pressurized irrigation, line in only some areas, roughly May to mid-October, and the garage swing valve is the tell. It changes the summer water bill. New homes here span the full Herriman range, so this page pairs naturally with the two-story page, the volume product, and the townhomes page, the value entry point in the newest phases.

Buying new is its own process, different from a resale. A spec home is already built or under way and you buy it largely as-is; a to-be-built home lets you choose the plan, the lot, and the finishes but comes with a timeline and a lot premium. The decisive questions are the lot premium, what the base price actually includes versus the upgrades, the build timeline, the warranty, and on any master-planned community the managing association and what it covers, since the shared pools, clubhouses, parks, and trails that make these plans attractive come with rules and ongoing costs. On the foothill and south-edge lots, also ask about wildfire defensible space, vegetation management, and how insurance prices the specific parcel, routine diligence for this geography. When a plan or a spec home interests you, reach out and I will line up the local agent and read the contract with you.
