Homes with Views for Sale in Woods Cross, Utah
Woods Cross sits on the Davis County bench just north of Salt Lake City, which gives it a geographic advantage most buyers don't realize until they stand in a backyard here at sunset. The city slopes gently west toward the Great Salt Lake, so homes on the east side catch the full Wasatch Front — Ensign Peak, the Bountiful B, and the ridgelines above City Creek Canyon — while properties farther west look out over the lake, the Antelope Island silhouette, and some of the most dramatic sunsets along the I-15 corridor. Elevation matters here: even a single-story rambler on 1500 South or up near 1100 West can clear the rooftops enough to keep a usable sightline.
View homes in Woods Cross tend to fall into a few buckets — older ranches from the 1970s and 80s on larger lots near the foothill edge, newer builds in the Wasatch Acres and Cottages areas, and a handful of custom homes tucked along the hillside above Orchard Drive. Pricing runs a meaningful premium over comparable interior lots, but Woods Cross still prices well below Bountiful's east bench for similar sightlines, and you're roughly 15 minutes to downtown Salt Lake and 20 to the airport. Refinery lights to the west are part of the tradeoff on some streets, so it's worth walking a property at dusk before committing.

Common questions
About homes with views in Woods Cross.
What kind of views do Woods Cross homes typically have? ▾
Most view homes here look either east toward the Wasatch — Ensign Peak, North Salt Lake's ridgeline, and the canyons above Bountiful — or west across the Great Salt Lake toward Antelope Island. A few elevated lots catch both. Lake-facing homes get the better sunsets; mountain-facing homes get morning light and the snowline in winter.
Are view homes in Woods Cross more expensive than interior lots? ▾
Yes, generally a 5–15% premium depending on the sightline and how protected it is from future construction. Homes with unobstructed lake or mountain views on the east bench command the highest premiums, while partial views or second-story-only views add less.
Will the refineries to the west affect a lake view? ▾
It depends on the street. Properties on the north and east sides of Woods Cross sit far enough up the bench that refinery infrastructure is a distant detail rather than a foreground feature. Lower-elevation lots closer to Redwood Road have a more industrial foreground, so visit at different times of day before deciding.
How close are these homes to Salt Lake City and the airport? ▾
Woods Cross is about 12 miles north of downtown Salt Lake via I-15 — roughly 15–20 minutes outside rush hour — and about 13 miles to SLC International. The FrontRunner station at 750 South 800 West also connects directly to downtown and Ogden.
Do view lots in Woods Cross have HOAs or building restrictions? ▾
Many of the older neighborhoods have no HOA, while newer subdivisions like the Cottages at Woods Cross and Wasatch Acres do. View-preservation covenants are uncommon, so if protecting a sightline matters, look at lot elevation and what's zoned uphill or across the street from the property.
Is air quality on the bench better than down by the freeway? ▾
Slightly, yes. Winter inversions still settle into the Salt Lake Valley and Davis County, but homes higher on the bench occasionally sit above the worst of the inversion layer. It's not a guarantee — some weeks the inversion reaches well up the foothills — but bench properties do see clearer days on average than valley-floor homes.
