Hearthstone Villas

Independent Assessment

The builder's own promotional material described pickleball courts being added to Hearthstone Villas specifically because of the sport's popularity in the company's earlier subdivisions, and characterized the community as poised to be one of its highest-amenity communities to date. This is a meaningful contrast with older, more amenity-light Leisure Villas communities in this same county, such as Hunter Villas and Valley Vu Villas, and suggests a builder that has scaled up its clubhouse offering as demand and price points have risen. The community's age qualification rests on the same builder-wide 80% standard found across this builder's portfolio, which is treated as strong directional evidence but not a substitute for a project-specific recorded covenant.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Hearthstone Villas suits buyers who want the newest, most amenity-rich option in Leisure Villas' South Jordan lineup -- a clubhouse, theater, fitness center, pool, and pickleball courts -- and who are comfortable purchasing during an active, still-phasing construction period rather than into a fully built-out resale community. Its location just south of Salt Lake Community College and near shops, grocery stores, and medical centers also suits buyers who want everyday convenience without a long commute.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Hearthstone Villas is built by Leisure Villas in four-unit attached-villa clusters on generous lot sizes, with a planned total of 168 homes developed across three phases. Construction began in 2021, and the builder has described homes as selling quickly due to high demand. The clubhouse amenity package -- including pickleball courts and horseshoe pits -- was reported by the builder as a deliberate expansion based on resident interest observed in its earlier subdivisions.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Reported starting prices of around $585,000 position Hearthstone Villas at the upper end of this county's Leisure Villas portfolio, and area listing aggregators show recent sales spanning roughly $600,000 to $800,000, suggesting significant variation by phase and floor plan. This places Hearthstone Villas above the pricing reported for older Leisure Villas communities in West Jordan and West Valley City, consistent with its more extensive amenity package and more recent construction. Buyers should request current, phase-specific pricing directly.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Hearthstone Villas is reported as still under active, phased construction that began in 2021, making it the newest-construction Leisure Villas community identified in this South Jordan/Salt Lake County batch. Buyers should confirm the current construction phase and available inventory directly with the builder, and should expect some ongoing construction activity nearby depending on which phase is active.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Hearthstone Villas are subject to Salt Lake County, Utah property tax administration; South Jordan's specific municipal rate was not independently confirmed, with countywide effective rates on a primary residence reported at roughly 0.52%-0.67% of market value after Utah's 45% residential exemption. Buyers should confirm the current specific rate applicable to their parcel with the Salt Lake County Assessor. Utah's flat 4.5% state income tax applies to Social Security benefits, though a nonrefundable credit zeroes out the tax for most retirees under the state's income phase-out thresholds.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Hearthstone Villas is designed around a notably broad recreational offering for a Leisure Villas community -- a clubhouse, theater, fitness center, pool, pickleball courts, and horseshoe pits -- supporting a more active social and recreational calendar than the builder's older, more amenity-light communities in this county. The four-unit cluster layout on generous lots is intended to balance attached-home efficiency with more space and privacy than a denser townhome arrangement.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Hearthstone Villas is located in South Jordan, Utah, just south of Salt Lake Community College, and is reported to be close to shops, grocery stores, and medical centers. The community's exact street address and specific drive times to major highways were not confirmed; buyers should confirm current drive times directly.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Hearthstone Villas' age qualification rests on Leisure Villas' own direct, builder-wide statement that all of its senior living communities require at least 80% of homeowners to be over 55 years of age, in compliance with the Federal Fair Housing Act's requirement of at least one person over 55 in at least 80% of homes. A Hearthstone Villas-specific recorded declaration could not be independently located; the builder-level statement is treated as strong supporting evidence. Buyers should confirm current occupancy-verification practice directly with the HOA.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because construction is reported as ongoing across three phases beginning in 2021, buyers should confirm the current phase, remaining inventory, and any active construction noise or traffic near unfinished sections. Reported pricing ranges (starting around $585,000 but with area sales reported up to roughly $800,000) suggest meaningful variation by phase, floor plan, and lot; buyers should request current, phase-specific pricing directly rather than relying on a single reported starting price.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Hearthstone Villas is South Jordan's newest and most amenity-rich Leisure Villas community, offering a materially deeper recreational package (theater, pickleball, horseshoe pits) than the same city's older, sold-out Country Park Villas, and standing apart from the non-Leisure-Villas Garden Park at Daybreak, which draws on the much larger Daybreak master plan's lake and trail infrastructure rather than a self-contained clubhouse. Buyers weighing South Jordan's age-restricted options should consider Hearthstone Villas' higher price point and newer construction against Country Park Villas' established, lower-priced resale market.
