Get this month's Davis County numbers for your street →West Davis County is where a lot of my business lives. Buyers priced out of the south end of the county come here and find the square footage, the yard, and the newer construction they were looking for. The trade is distance — from downtown Salt Lake, and from the canyons. For a household whose work is at Hill Air Force Base or anywhere in north Davis, that trade barely registers.
The cities
Kaysville. The premium address on this side of the county: larger lots, mature landscaping, strong schools, and unusually stable resale. You pay for it, but Kaysville holds value through market swings better than most of Davis County.
Layton. The broadest range of price points and housing types in the county, plus the most retail and the easiest Hill AFB access. West Layton skews newer and larger for the money.
Syracuse. Newer construction, contemporary floor plans, and family-oriented neighborhoods with the antelope-island side of the county at your back. Popular with buyers who want a new-build feel without a new-build price from further south.
Clearfield. Typically the lowest entry point in the area, which makes it a real option for first-time buyers and for investors. Housing stock varies street to street more than in the other three, so comps have to be tight.
Commute and access
The West Davis Corridor and I-15 handle north-south movement, and FrontRunner stations along the county give you a rail option. Salt Lake City is a longer drive than it is from Farmington or Bountiful, so I always have clients run their real commute at the hour they'd actually drive it before we narrow the search.
Buying out here
The west side generally offers more inventory and a bit more breathing room than the south county, but well-priced homes in the strongest school boundaries still move quickly. Verify school assignment by address, not by city — Davis District boundaries cut through neighborhoods.
If you're weighing the west side against Farmington, my comparison of Farmington, Kaysville, and Layton breaks down the trade-offs, and the guide to the best places to live in Davis County covers the rest of the county.
Selling out here
Pricing on the west side should come from comps within your own subdivision — the spread between neighborhoods can be significant, and city-level averages will mislead you in either direction. Start with a free comp-backed valuation, then walk through the process in my Utah home selling guide.

West Davis County, answered
- What counts as West Davis County?
- In practice, the cities west of I-15 and along the north-county corridor: Kaysville, Layton, Syracuse, Clearfield, and the west sides of neighboring cities. It's where much of the county's newer, larger housing stock sits and where buying power typically goes furthest.
- Is West Davis County cheaper than Farmington or Bountiful?
- Generally you get more square footage per dollar as you move north and west, though Kaysville is its own case — it commands a premium for lot sizes, schools, and resale stability. The trade-off across the west side is a longer drive to Salt Lake City and to the canyons.
- How is the commute from West Davis County to Salt Lake City?
- Longer than from Farmington or Bountiful, but improved by the West Davis Corridor and FrontRunner stations along the county. Many of my west-side clients work at Hill Air Force Base or in north Davis County, which changes the math entirely — drive your actual commute before you decide.
- Which West Davis city should I buy in?
- Kaysville for lots and long-term stability, Layton for the widest range of price points and Hill AFB access, Syracuse for newer construction and larger floor plans, Clearfield for the lowest entry point. I usually have clients tour two or three before narrowing.
- What is the median home price in Davis County, Utah right now?
- As of June 2026, the median list price in Davis County is $557,450 and the median closed sale price is $525,561, or about $245 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 Davis County, Utah?
- In June 2026 the median Davis County home went under contract in 43 days, with 1,566 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.
