Kaysville · Relocation
Relocating to Kaysville
Decide by your commute first. Hill Air Force Base means Kaysville, downtown Salt Lake means Centerville, the train means Farmington.
Two things to know before you commit from out of state
Kaysville has no single commercial centre. There are shops, strung along 200 North east of I-15 and along Main Street from the high school north to the Layton border. What there is not is one place where they are all gathered. Farmington has Station Park for that, ten to fifteen minutes away, and Centerville has its big-box strip.
That is not a flaw. It is what the town is, and people here chose it. But arriving expecting a centre and discovering there is not one is a bad month, so I say it first.
None of Kaysville climbs the bench. Drive east and you cross into Fruit Heights, which runs from North Farmington up to Layton and takes the foothills with it. If part of why you are moving to Utah is trails at the end of the street, Farmington has Farmington Canyon and Kaysville has no equivalent at all.
Those two facts decide this town for most people, one way or the other, and neither is visible from a listing site.
What Kaysville is genuinely good at
Proximity to Hill Air Force Base. Hill is in Layton, and Layton sits closer to Kaysville than to Farmington or Centerville. If that is where your work is, this is the town. VA and military buyers covers it properly.
Layton generally. More shops and more theatres than Kaysville has, and closer from here than from either town south.
The quiet. No commercial centre means no traffic pulled through the town, which is the whole point of living here.
Choice. Kaysville had 275 single-family sales last year, more than Farmington’s 166 and Centerville’s 98 combined. On a relocation with a fixed window, that matters more than almost anything else.
Cherry Hill has a water park, a lazy river and pools. Boondocks has bowling, an arcade, batting cages and bumper boats. Kaysville Ponds, four of them, sit along I-15 stocked with trout, bass and catfish. Davis High School and Davis Technical College are both in town.
The market moves fast, which cuts both ways
Kaysville’s median time on market was 28 days, the quickest of the three towns I work. The median price was $655,000, and 52 sales cleared $1 million, the most of the three towns I work, and the top sale was $2,485,000.
That spread is worth understanding. The southwest corner is large homes on large lots, running roughly $1M to $2M and above: Sunset Equestrian Estates, with an equestrian centre in the neighbourhood, Mountain Vistas north of it in West Kaysville around 200 North between Flint and Angel Street, and acre-plus lots around Mutton Hollow. The rest of the town is more ordinary suburban stock.
On a relocation the pace is the problem. A shortlist built two weeks before you fly is partly out of date by the time you land. I keep the list live between visits rather than sending one and hoping, and I will tell you honestly which properties will still exist when you arrive.

How I handle a move from out of state
I will tell you when Kaysville is wrong for you. If you want a walkable centre or trail access, that is Farmington. If your work is in downtown Salt Lake, Centerville is closer.
Video walkthroughs rather than photo galleries. I have sold multi-million dollar homes to buyers who never walked the property until after closing, and I know what a camera has to show for that to be fair to you.
30 Kaysville sales, more than 1,300 homes across my career, the majority seller side, so I know what the listing agent is telling their seller about your offer. Certified Negotiation Expert, a designation few agents hold. Principal Broker, own brokerage. My son Brandon is our licensed buyer specialist, and was working around this business well before he was licensed.
All of Davis County sits in Davis School District, the second largest in Utah with around 73,000 students. Ratings are published and easy to look up, and on a relocation I would rather you read them yourself.
The Buyer Satisfaction Guarantee: not satisfied within 24 months and I will buy the home back or sell it for free. Conditions apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Kaysville have a downtown?
Not in the sense of one gathered centre. Shops run along 200 North east of I-15 and along Main Street from the high school north to the Layton border. Farmington has Station Park ten to fifteen minutes away for everything in one place.
Can I hike from Kaysville?
Not from the town. None of Kaysville climbs the bench; the east side becomes Fruit Heights, which takes the foothills. Farmington has Farmington Canyon with trails and a road up it.
How close is Kaysville to Hill Air Force Base?
Closest of the three towns I work. Hill is in Layton, and Layton sits closer to Kaysville than to Farmington or Centerville.
Is there enough choice for a short house-hunting trip?
More than either town south. Kaysville had 275 single-family sales last year against Farmington's 166 and Centerville's 98. The catch is a 28-day median, so a shortlist built before you fly will be partly out of date when you land.
What does a home cost in Kaysville?
A median of $655,000 last year, with 52 sales above $1 million, the most of the three towns I work, and a top sale of $2,485,000. The southwest corner is large homes on large lots and trades well above the town median.
