Layton is the largest city in Davis County, and it’s built for convenience. Most errands are a short drive, and it’s an easy commute in either direction along I-15.
Highlights
- Hill Air Force Base. Layton borders the base, making it a top pick for military families and civilian base employees.
- Layton Hills Mall and nearby shopping. Big-box stores, restaurants and a theater are clustered near I-15.
- Adams Canyon. A popular trail on the east side that leads to a waterfall.
- Layton Commons Park. A central park with ponds, paths and community events.
- FrontRunner. The Layton station connects you to Ogden and Salt Lake City.
Housing feel
Layton has a wide range: established neighborhoods near downtown, newer subdivisions on the east and west sides, and plenty of options in the middle of the market.
Good fit for
Military families, commuters going north or south, and buyers who want variety without paying big-city prices.
