Homes Under $500,000 in Sunset, Utah
Sunset sits in the heart of Davis County along the Wasatch Front, just west of Hill Air Force Base and a short drive from both Ogden and the northern edge of Salt Lake County. It's a small city, under three square miles, made up largely of mid-century ranch homes and newer infill construction on quiet residential streets. Because Sunset never developed the resort-town price pressure you see in Park City or the growth-driven spikes hitting places like Lehi, most of its housing stock still falls comfortably under the $500K mark — a rarity along this stretch of the Wasatch Front where median prices in neighboring cities have pushed well past that line.
Buyers looking here tend to be Hill AFB personnel, first-time buyers priced out of Layton or Clearfield, and people who want a short commute to Ogden or I-15 without paying Davis County's higher-end premiums. Expect 3-bedroom, 1,000-to-1,800-square-foot homes on lots that often run bigger than what you'd get for the same price in Layton, plus a handful of newer townhomes for buyers who want less exterior maintenance. Lot sizes and older electrical or plumbing systems vary a lot house to house here, so a solid inspection matters more than usual in this price range.

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.
