Multi-Family Homes for Sale in Clearfield, Utah
Clearfield sits on the western edge of Davis County, roughly 30 minutes north of Salt Lake City and five minutes from the south gate of Hill Air Force Base. That location is the whole story for multi-family investors here. Hill is the largest single-site employer in Utah, and the constant rotation of military families, civilian contractors, and aerospace workers creates a rental pool that small landlords have been quietly serving for decades. Duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes show up most often in the older grid south of Antelope Drive and along the corridors feeding into 700 South and State Street, with newer side-by-side duplex product appearing closer to the FrontRunner station.
Pricing on small multi-family in Clearfield generally runs from the high $400s for a basic duplex up past $1.2M for a well-maintained fourplex, with cap rates that tend to beat what's available in Layton or Farmington a few exits south. Most buyers in this category fall into two camps: house-hackers using an FHA or VA loan to live in one unit and rent the others, and 1031 buyers rolling out of higher-priced markets. Property taxes are reasonable, Clearfield City's rental licensing process is straightforward, and tenant demand stays consistent year-round because of the base.

Common questions
About multi-family homes in Clearfield.
What counts as a multi-family property in Clearfield? ▾
On the Davis County MLS, multi-family generally means duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes on a single deed. Larger apartment buildings (5+ units) move into commercial listings. Most of Clearfield's multi-family stock is duplexes built between the 1960s and 1980s, with a smaller pool of newer townhome-style duplexes near Antelope Drive and Main Street.
Why is Clearfield a practical city for small multi-family investors? ▾
Hill Air Force Base employs roughly 25,000 people directly, and a meaningful share of junior enlisted and contract workers rent rather than buy. That keeps duplex and fourplex vacancy low and rent collection steady. Clearfield also sits on FrontRunner, which pulls renters who commute to Ogden, Salt Lake, or Lehi without needing a car.
What rent ranges should I underwrite for Clearfield duplex units? ▾
Two-bedroom duplex units in Clearfield typically rent in the $1,300–$1,600 range, and three-bedroom sides push $1,600–$1,900 depending on garage, condition, and proximity to the base. Pull comps on the specific street — units west of I-15 near the base often rent faster than older stock east of US-89.
Are there zoning limits on adding ADUs or converting single-family to multi-family? ▾
Clearfield City allows internal ADUs in most residential zones with a permit, but converting a single-family home to a true duplex requires the lot to be in an R-2 or higher zone. Check the current zoning map at City Hall before assuming a basement apartment can be legally separated and metered.
What financing works best for a Clearfield duplex or fourplex? ▾
Owner-occupants can use FHA (3.5% down) or VA (0% down for eligible buyers) on 2–4 unit properties, which is a common play near Hill AFB. Pure investors are looking at 20–25% down conventional or DSCR loans. Rental income from the other units can usually be counted toward qualifying.
How many multi-family listings are typically active in Clearfield at one time? ▾
Inventory is thin — usually a handful of duplexes and one or two fourplexes on the MLS at any given moment, sometimes zero. Setting up a saved search with instant alerts is the practical way to catch new listings before they go under contract, which often happens within a week.
