Country View Villas

Country View Villas is an age-restricted 55+ community in Tooele, Utah, built by Leisure Villas — Utah's leading developer of active adult communities along the Wasatch Front, with over 2,000 homes built across several 55+ communities over two decades. Construction began in 2021, with 136 attached single-level townhome-style villas planned at buildout. The community sits just east of Macey's Grocery on Main Street at 1000 N. and 220 E., about 33 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, offering mountain views of the Oquirrh Range and an affordable alternative to Wasatch Front prices. Homes are designed specifically for retirees — all main-floor living with wheelchair-accessible layouts, extra-wide doorways, no stairs (except optional bonus rooms above the garage), and wheelchair turning radiuses throughout. Four best-selling floorplans are offered: The Grandview, The Windsor Court, The Bristol Court, and The Stratford, ranging from approximately 1,600 to 2,600 square feet with two or three bedrooms, two or three bathrooms, and attached two-car garages. Many homes feature open-concept layouts with spacious living rooms with fireplaces, kitchens with central islands, owner's suites with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets, and covered patios. Optional bonus rooms above the garage include a private full bath and closet — useful for visiting family or as a guest suite. Some plans offer sun rooms, flex rooms, and roll-in showers. Leisure Villas has also piloted a value-model option at Country View Villas with fewer premium finishes to help retirees on tighter budgets — same exterior, scaled-back interior. Current resale and new-construction pricing runs roughly $420,000 to $570,000. The community clubhouse is the social heart of Country View Villas and follows the standard Leisure Villas formula their homeowners have come to expect. It includes an exercise room, movie theater, billiards/pool table room, library, a large gathering room with a serving area (purpose-built for potluck dinners and community events), and an indoor-adjacent swimming pool. The HOA handles lawn maintenance, landscaping, exterior home maintenance, and all common-area upkeep — the low-maintenance lifestyle Leisure Villas is known for. Leisure Villas communities typically develop a strong social fabric; the developer notes that their earlier communities often sold out and required HOA waiting lists due to demand, and residents often trade living arrangements with friends and family who want in. Tooele itself is a small city with rural roots, often described as the city that feels a hundred miles away but is only a few minutes back. The commute into Salt Lake City is around 30-35 minutes via SR-36 and I-80 — many residents report it's faster than commuting within the Salt Lake Valley itself. The Tooele Valley offers wide-open skies, nearby mountain trails, and a quieter pace than the Wasatch Front, making it a practical pick for retirees who want Salt Lake access without Salt Lake prices.
