Midas Creek Villas

Independent Assessment

The clearest independent confirmation for Midas Creek Villas' age-restricted status is Leisure Villas' own builder-level statement -- posted on its own site -- that all of its senior living communities require at least 80% of homeowners to be over 55, with the builder adding that in practice only about 1% of its homeowners fall below that line. Because this is a builder-wide policy statement rather than a project-specific recorded covenant, it is strong but not parcel-level-verified evidence of the age restriction. A second, more specific point of note: multiple sources place Midas Creek Villas within the larger Miller Crossing master-planned area of Herriman rather than treating it as a fully standalone project, which is worth understanding for buyers evaluating shared infrastructure or governance beyond the villa cluster itself.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Midas Creek Villas suits buyers drawn to Herriman's newer, still-developing southwest Salt Lake County location who want a genuinely single-level, low-maintenance floor plan with a two-car garage, without the scale or shared master-community fees of a large resort-style development. It is a reasonable fit for buyers who are comfortable relying on Leisure Villas' builder-wide 80% occupancy standard as their age-qualification assurance rather than a project-specific recorded declaration.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Midas Creek Villas was built by Leisure Villas within the Miller Crossing master-planned area of Herriman, with groundbreaking reported in 2017 and a planned total of 120 homes. Four floor plans are reported, ranging from approximately 1,602 to 1,971 square feet, each with two to three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Pricing is reported inconsistently across sources: one describes new homes starting in the low $400,000s, while another cites prices starting in the low $500,000s with an average price around $530,000. This spread likely reflects both the passage of time since the 2017 groundbreaking and differences in which floor plan and phase each source's figures describe. Buyers should request current comparable sales directly given this range.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Sources give conflicting signals on Midas Creek Villas' current construction status: Leisure Villas' own material frames it as a recent groundbreaking (2017), while a secondary directory describes construction running through 2020, which would suggest the community has since reached build-out. Buyers should confirm directly with Leisure Villas or a local agent whether any new-construction inventory remains or whether the community is now resale-only.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Midas Creek Villas are subject to Salt Lake County, Utah property tax administration; Herriman City's municipal tax rate is reported among the higher rates within the county at roughly 1.08% (0.010826), compared to a countywide average effective rate closer to 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

Midas Creek Villas is built around a small set of attached, single-level floor plans rather than a large standalone clubhouse campus, positioning it as a lower-maintenance, more compact option than some of Leisure Villas' larger South Jordan and West Valley City communities. A dedicated Midas Creek Villas clubhouse is not independently confirmed; buyers who prioritize on-site social amenities should confirm directly whether any exist or whether residents rely on the wider Miller Crossing area's shared spaces.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Midas Creek Villas is located in Herriman, an expanding city in southwestern Salt Lake County reported to be roughly a 30-minute drive from downtown Salt Lake City. The community's exact street address and its distance to specific medical facilities or highway interchanges remain unconfirmed; buyers should confirm current drive times directly.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Midas Creek 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 Midas Creek Villas-specific recorded declaration or covenant could not be independently located; the builder-level statement is treated as strong supporting evidence given its directness and specificity. Buyers should confirm current occupancy-verification practice directly with the HOA.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Midas Creek Villas' current construction and sales status is genuinely unclear from the sources reviewed: Leisure Villas' own 2017 material described it as a brand-new groundbreaking, while at least one secondary directory describes construction running through 2020, which would place it well past active new-construction sales today. Buyers should confirm directly with Leisure Villas or a local agent whether any builder-direct inventory remains or whether all current purchases are resale. As with other Leisure Villas communities, the age restriction rests on a builder-wide 80% policy statement rather than a confirmed, community-specific recorded covenant, which buyers who need airtight legal certainty should verify directly with the HOA.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Midas Creek Villas is Herriman's entry in the Leisure Villas portfolio, positioned within the Miller Crossing master-planned area rather than as a fully freestanding project, which differentiates it from the more self-contained clubhouse-anchored Leisure Villas communities in South Jordan (Hearthstone Villas) and West Jordan (Bridlewood Villas). Buyers comparing Herriman to those cities should weigh Midas Creek Villas' smaller, more compact amenity footprint against the larger clubhouse campuses found elsewhere in this builder's portfolio.
