Homes Under $500,000 in Sunset, Utah
Sunset sits in Davis County between Clearfield and Roy, just west of I-15 and a few minutes from Hill Air Force Base. It's one of the more affordable pockets of the northern Wasatch Front, and a $500K budget goes a long way here. Most of the housing is mid-century ramblers, split-levels and some newer townhomes on small, flat lots, so many buyers find a fully updated single-level home or a move-up with a finished basement without stretching. Compare that with Layton or Farmington, where $500K often buys a smaller or older house.
The city is small, about one square mile, so location matters less than condition, lot size and the age of the roof, furnace and windows. Buyers here tend to be Hill AFB employees, first-time buyers, downsizers and investors, and well-priced homes can move quickly. Kids attend Davis School District schools, and Antelope Drive, Legacy Parkway and FrontRunner at Clearfield make it a workable commute to Salt Lake City, about 30 minutes without traffic. Winters bring real snow, and summer highs usually reach the 90s, so insulation and cooling costs are worth checking.

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.
