Homes Under $500,000 in Sunset, Utah
Sunset sits in the heart of Davis County, tucked between Clearfield and Layton just west of Hill Air Force Base — a location that shapes a lot of the demand here. Base employees, contractors, and the wider Layton/Clearfield workforce all look to Sunset because it's one of the few remaining pockets of Davis County where a family can still land a home under $500K without driving to Weber or Box Elder County. Most of the housing stock is mid-century rambler and split-entry construction from the 1960s-80s, with newer infill townhomes and a handful of updated flips mixed in. Lot sizes tend to run larger than newer Davis County subdivisions, which appeals to buyers who want a yard without paying Farmington or Kaysville prices.
At this price point in Sunset, buyers are typically choosing between a smaller original-condition rambler with room to update, or a tighter townhome/condo option that trades square footage for lower maintenance. Commute times are a real draw too — I-15 access via the 650 North or Antelope Drive interchanges gets you to Hill AFB in minutes and into Ogden or south toward Salt Lake in under 30-40 depending on traffic. Davis School District covers the area, with East Layton Elementary and Sunset Elementary feeding into Northridge and Syracuse High.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Sunset.
What kind of home can I actually get in Sunset for under $500K? ▾
Most listings in this range are 3-4 bedroom ramblers, split-entries, or small two-stories between 1,400 and 2,400 square feet. Many were built between 1960 and 1995, though you'll occasionally see updated homes or smaller newer builds. Lots are often a quarter-acre or larger, which is unusual at this price elsewhere in Davis County.
Is $500K a realistic budget in Sunset right now? ▾
Yes — Sunset is one of the more attainable Davis County cities, and a meaningful share of single-family inventory sits below $500K. Median sale prices here have generally tracked lower than neighbors like Layton or Kaysville, partly because the housing stock is older and lot sizes vary widely.
How close are these homes to Hill Air Force Base? ▾
Most of Sunset sits within 5-10 minutes of Hill AFB's west and south gates. That makes the city popular with active-duty military, civilian contractors, and DoD employees, and it's a big reason homes in this price range tend to move quickly when they hit the MLS.
What school district serves Sunset? ▾
Sunset is part of the Davis School District, which is consistently one of the higher-rated districts in the state. Homes typically feed into Doxey Elementary, North Davis Junior High, and Clearfield High, though boundaries shift, so confirm assignments with the district before writing an offer.
Are there HOA fees on most homes in this price range? ▾
Most older Sunset neighborhoods have no HOA, which keeps monthly costs down. The exceptions are a handful of newer townhome and small-lot developments along the Clinton and Clearfield borders, where HOAs typically run $50-$200 a month.
How fast do sub-$500K homes sell in Sunset? ▾
When priced right, well-kept homes under $500K often go under contract within 1-3 weeks, and turnkey properties near Hill AFB can move in days. Older homes needing cosmetic work tend to sit a bit longer, which can be an opportunity for buyers willing to update.
