Syracuse, West Point & Clinton
Western Davis County's growth corridor. Newer homes, family-friendly communities, and some of the best value in the county.
The Western Davis County Corridor
While the East Bench communities of Kaysville and Fruit Heights command premium prices for mountain views, the western Davis County corridor offers a different value proposition: newer construction, larger master-planned communities, and significantly more accessible price points - all while maintaining Davis School District addresses and family-friendly community character. Located approximately 25 to 30 miles north of Salt Lake City, Syracuse, West Point, and Clinton have emerged as some of the fastest-growing communities on the Wasatch Front.
Syracuse Market Snapshot
Syracuse is the largest and fastest-growing city in western Davis County. The median home price stands at $584,600, reflecting flat year-over-year pricing amid a steady volume of new construction listings. Homes average 34 days on market in a competitive environment, with price per square foot averaging $217.

Single-family homes in Syracuse range from $489,000 for older suburban resales to $950,000 for custom builds on half-acre parcels. Attached patio homes and master-planned townhomes range from $415,000 to $525,000. Active subdivisions include Vesper Sparrow, Princeville, Saint Andrews Drive, and Water Lilly Lane. The Antelope Island Causeway provides unique recreational access to Antelope Island State Park - a lifestyle asset no other Davis County community can match.
West Point
West Point is a semi-rural community transitioning into single-family residential subdivisions while maintaining a high concentration of large-lot horse properties. The median home price is $552,170 (-9.11% YoY), though the median price per square foot actually increased 14.0% YoY to $236 - indicating smaller footprints in newer developments are driving the median down. Single-family detached homes on 0.33-acre to multi-acre parcels dominate, ranging from $475,000 to $769,000. Buyers seeking equestrian properties should also explore Hooper for even larger lot options.
Clinton
Clinton sits directly west of Layton and Clearfield, sharing the Hill Air Force Base economic influence while offering more affordable housing options. The median sale price is $482,711 (+1.6% YoY), with homes selling rapidly at an average of 33 days on market. Clinton ranks among top Utah communities for sustained home price growth. Starter homes and townhomes range from $390,000 to $435,000, while larger modern single-family residences span $480,000 to $769,000.
The West Davis Corridor
The newly opened West Davis Corridor (State Route 177) is fundamentally altering commute patterns and accelerating suburban growth in western communities. This elevated highway provides direct north-south connectivity for Syracuse, West Point, and western Kaysville, compressing drive times to Salt Lake City and shifting buyer demand westward. Property values along the corridor are benefiting from the improved accessibility - making current purchases in this corridor potentially well-positioned for continued appreciation.
Investment Potential
The western Davis County corridor presents compelling investment opportunity. Newer construction reduces maintenance costs. Population growth ensures demand. And price points below eastern Davis County create margin for appreciation as continued development elevates the area's amenity profile. Both single-family rentals and small multi-family units perform well in this market.
Recreation & Lifestyle
Antelope Island State Park - accessible via the Syracuse causeway - offers hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and some of the most dramatic Great Salt Lake sunsets on the Wasatch Front. The Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve provides birding and nature access. Community parks, trail networks, and youth sports programs round out the outdoor lifestyle across all three communities.
