Newest first
The newest two-story listings.
Fed straight from the local MLS and filtered to homes listed as two stories: new Orem listings appear here as they list, and sold homes drop off. The read on what two stories really buys here is just below.
Buying here
Check how the basement stacks with the upstairs.
An Orem two-story often adds a full basement below the two levels above grade, so it can run three usable floors on a single lot. Tell me your space needs, and I will have the Orem-area partner agent I work with flag the next match and walk the square footage split with you.

The local read
What two-story homes mean in Orem.
A two-story home is the space-per-dollar play. Stacking the floor plan puts more square footage on a smaller foundation footprint, so in a built-out city like Orem, where land is the constraint, a two-story often gets you more finished living space for the lot than a comparable rambler. The flip side is the stairs, so the question is whether you want the bedrooms up and away from the living, or everything on one level, in which case the single-story page is the better place to start.
Here is the Orem multiplier. Basements are the norm in Utah Valley because the frost line is deep and the foundation goes down anyway, so a two-story home here usually sits over a full basement. That means a listing that reads as two stories often lives like three usable levels: bedrooms up, main living in the middle, and a finished or unfinished lower level below. Read the stories field and the square footage breakdown rather than the front photo, because how much of that footage is above grade versus below changes the value.
The two-story stock concentrates where Orem built later. The newer detached homes on the east bench under Mount Timpanogos and on the later plats lean two-story, while the established mid-century core mixes two-story in among its ramblers. So the bench is where the volume of newer two-story product is, and it comes with bigger Timpanogos views, steeper lots, and higher prices the higher you climb.
Whole-home prices cover the full Orem range, landing in the high $400,000s to high $500,000s depending on the source, with the larger bench two-story homes running into the higher brackets.

What counts as two-story here
-
Two-story over a basement: the common build. Bedrooms up, main living in the middle, finished or unfinished space below grade. A two-story listing here often lives like three usable levels, so check the breakdown.
-
True two-story, no basement: rarer in this market because basements are standard, but it exists. Confirm whether the square footage is all above grade or includes a lower level you did not count on.
-
Walkout / daylight basement: on the sloped east-bench lots the lower level can open to grade with full windows, turning the below-grade floor into bright, fully usable living space.
-
Read the square footage split: the stories field plus the above-grade and below-grade square footage tell you how the house actually lives. The front photo does not.
The local map
Where the two-story homes actually are.
Two-story homes turn up across Orem, but the newer volume sits where the city built later: up the east bench under Timpanogos and on the later plats, with two-story mixed in among the ramblers through the established core. Here is where to look.
Northridge, Suncrest and Cherry Hill on the bench
The east bench under Mount Timpanogos holds much of the newer detached two-story stock. Lots run larger and steeper, the Timpanogos views open up, and prices step up with the elevation, so check slope, drainage, and foothill access on the higher parcels.
The east-bench later plats
Orem's later detached subdivisions on the higher ground lean two-story, with shorter lists of original components than the postwar core. The trade is a newer house and a bigger view for a higher price and a steeper lot.
The established core
The finished mid-century-to-later streets near the center and University Place mix two-story homes in among the ramblers. Mature, tree-lined lots and a central address, with older systems on the earliest homes that deserve a hard look.
Lakeview and Sharon Park
These neighborhood-plan areas hold a mix of established single-family streets where two-story homes sit alongside the single-level stock. Settled blocks, central to the rest of the city, generally more affordable than the bench.
The west side toward Geneva Road
The flatter west side near Utah Lake, UVU, and the FrontRunner station runs older and more affordable. Two-story homes here come paired with the closest access to west-side jobs and transit.
University Place infill
Around the University Place redevelopment, newer attached two-story product appears in the townhome pipeline rather than as detached tract homes. A central address and a newer build, with the townhome trade-offs of shared walls covered on the townhomes page.
Before you tour: what to actually check
Square footage split: ask how much of the total is above grade versus in the basement. A two-story over a finished basement lives larger than the two stories alone suggest.
Walkout vs. standard: on a sloped east-bench lot, see whether the lower level opens to grade with windows or sits fully below. It changes the light and the use of that third level.
Era and systems: an older core two-story is worth checking for roof, furnace, electrical panel, and sewer lateral age, and whether any update was documented or just cosmetic.
Stairs and layout: two stories plus a basement means real stairs between levels. Walk them and picture the daily flow before you fall for the square footage.
Lot, slope and water: Orem has no secondary irrigation water, so all landscape watering runs on tiered culinary rates and irrigation systems need an approved backflow device. A bigger bench lot means more to water, so price the summer bill into the parcel, and check slope and drainage on the steeper ones.
Inside Orem, or a neighbor: national portals lump in Vineyard, Lindon, and points north. Confirm the listing is inside Orem city limits and check the actual address.

Quick answers
Two-story shopping, answered.
It is the space-per-dollar play. Stacking the floor plan puts more finished square footage on a smaller foundation footprint, which matters in a built-out city like Orem where land is the constraint. You trade the stairs for more room on the lot. If you would rather have everything on one level, the single-story page is the better place to start.
Usually, yes. The Utah Valley frost line is deep, so the foundation goes down anyway and basements are standard. That means a two-story home here often lives like three usable levels: bedrooms up, living in the middle, and a finished or unfinished lower level below. On a sloped east-bench lot that basement may be a walkout, which makes the lower floor bright and fully usable.
The newer two-story volume sits on the east bench under Mount Timpanogos and on the later plats, where Orem built later. The established mid-century core mixes two-story homes in among its ramblers. The bench homes come with bigger Timpanogos views, steeper lots, and higher prices. The live listings above are the honest count on any given week.
No. Unlike many Utah Valley cities, Orem has no secondary or irrigation water system, so all landscape and sprinkler watering runs on treated culinary water at tiered rates, and irrigation systems require an approved backflow or cross-connection device. It is the biggest surprise for buyers coming from cities that have a separate pressurized irrigation line, so plan for a higher summer water bill, especially on a larger bench lot with more to water.
Not necessarily per square foot, because a two-story stacks its footage on a smaller, cheaper foundation footprint than a wide single-level home of the same size. Whole-home prices cover the full Orem range, in the high $400,000s to high $500,000s depending on the source, with the larger bench two-story homes running into the higher brackets. The live listings above are the real answer on any given week.
