Get this month's Centerville numbers for your street →Centerville is the first real town north of the Salt Lake County line, and that geography is the whole story. You give up new construction and Station Park–scale retail; you get back fifteen minutes of every commute, twice a day, for as long as you own the house.
Bench or west side
East of the freeway the land climbs toward the Wasatch — bigger lots, views over the Great Salt Lake, and the highest prices in town. West of I-15 it flattens toward the shoreline, with more modest homes and the most approachable entry points into the market. Both sides sit inside 84014, and both are compact enough to walk.
Buying an older home well
Most of Centerville was built before the current wave of Davis County growth, so condition varies enormously house to house. I walk buyers through what's cosmetic versus what's expensive — mechanicals, sewer line, panel, grading — and price the difference into the offer instead of hoping it doesn't come up. If a brand-new build is what you actually want, Wiest North Farmington is the better fit.

Buying and selling in Centerville
- What is Centerville, Utah like to live in?
- Small, established, and closer to Salt Lake City than anywhere else in Davis County that still feels like a town. Roughly 18,000 people, a compact street grid between the bench and the lake, and neighborhoods where most homes were built decades ago and have the trees to show for it.
- How far is Centerville from Salt Lake City?
- About 15 miles — commonly 20–30 minutes to downtown on I-15 or Legacy Parkway outside rush hour. That's the shortest Davis County commute, and it's the single biggest reason buyers pick Centerville over Farmington or Kaysville.
- Is Centerville more affordable than Farmington?
- Often slightly, and the reason is housing stock rather than desirability: Centerville has more mid-century and 1980s–90s homes and far less new construction. You're frequently trading updated finishes for a shorter commute and a bigger, more mature lot.
- Which schools serve Centerville?
- Davis School District, with Viewmont High serving much of the area. Boundaries change, so I verify the current assignment for the specific address before we write anything.
- What should I check when buying an older Centerville home?
- Age shows up in the mechanicals: furnace and AC life, panel capacity, sewer lateral condition, windows, and any bench-side drainage or grading. None of it is a dealbreaker if it's priced in — the mistake is discovering it after closing instead of during inspection.
- What is the median home price in Centerville, Utah right now?
- As of April 2026, the median list price in Centerville is $499,000 and the median closed sale price is $432,690, or about $267 per square foot (source: Realtor.com Economic Research). Your own number depends on the pocket you're in and the condition of the home — I'll run the comparable sales for your address.
- How long do homes take to sell in Centerville, Utah?
- In April 2026 the median Centerville home went under contract in 41 days, with 64 homes active on the market (source: Realtor.com Economic Research). Well-priced, well-prepared homes move a lot faster than that median; overpriced ones sit well past it.
