Why People Are Moving to Davis County, Utah in 2025

The perfect mix of lifestyle, location, and long-term value.

Davis County has long been a favorite for Utah locals—but in 2025, it’s making serious waves as one of the top relocation spots in the state. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, or someone looking to escape the high prices of Salt Lake County, Davis County is checking all the boxes.

Here’s a breakdown of why so many people are making the move to Davis County this year.

🏡 1. More Home for Your Money

Compared to nearby Salt Lake and Utah Counties, Davis County offers more square footage, larger yards, and newer homes—often at a lower price per square foot. Buyers are finding that they don’t have to sacrifice space or quality to stay close to the Wasatch Front.

“I was able to get a newer 4-bedroom home with a yard in Kaysville—something I couldn’t touch in Salt Lake for the same price.” – Local Buyer, 2025

🚗 2. Easy Access to Everything

Davis County is perfectly positioned between Salt Lake City and Ogden, with I-15, Legacy Parkway, and FrontRunner making commuting surprisingly easy.

• 15 minutes to Downtown SLC

• 10–20 minutes to Hill Air Force Base

• Minutes from ski resorts, hiking, and the Great Salt Lake

Whether you work downtown, in tech, at HAFB, or even remote—Davis County gives you big flexibility without the big-city stress.

🌄 3. Unmatched Outdoor Lifestyle

Davis County is a dream for those who love the outdoors. You’re never far from world-class hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing, and the views of the Wasatch Mountains are hard to beat.

Top local favorites:

• Adams Canyon Waterfall Hike (Layton)

• Antelope Island State Park (Syracuse) – bison, beach walks, and sunsets!

• Farmington Canyon – scenic drives, ATV routes, and camping

• Bonneville Shoreline Trail – with multiple entry points across the county

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 4. Family-Friendly Communities

Cities like Kaysville, Farmington, Syracuse, and Layton are well-known for their tight-knit communities, excellent schools, and safe neighborhoods. Davis County offers a slower pace without sacrificing convenience.

Newer developments often come with parks, walking trails, and splash pads—making it a hit for families looking to put down roots.

🏙️ 5. Growth & Opportunity

Davis County is growing fast but smart. Major infrastructure upgrades, new restaurants and shopping (hello, Station Park), and upcoming residential developments are drawing both businesses and buyers to the area.

And with the Silicon Slopes expansion creeping north, it’s becoming an even better long-term investment for homeowners and investors alike.

💡 Why Now Is a Great Time to Buy in Davis County

If you’ve been on the fence, 2025 is shaping up to be a strong year for buyers:

• ✅ Interest rates have started to stabilize, giving buyers more confidence in monthly payments.

• ✅ More listings and less competition compared to the frenzy of 2021–2022.

• ✅ Long-term value—homes here continue to appreciate thanks to location, demand, and quality of life.
