Homes Under $300,000 in Sunset, Utah
Sunset is one of the few Davis County cities where a buyer can still land a detached single-family home under $300,000. Tucked between Clearfield and Roy along Highway 91, it's a compact community of roughly 5,000 people built largely to support Hill Air Force Base, which sits just to the east. The housing stock reflects that history — mostly mid-century ramblers, brick three-bedrooms, and a handful of newer townhomes near 1800 North. Lots tend to be modest but usable, and many homes have detached shops or RV parking, which is a Davis County standard. Commutes are short: Hill AFB is a five-minute drive, downtown Ogden is fifteen minutes north, and Salt Lake International is about thirty-five minutes south via I-15.
At the sub-$300K price point, buyers here are typically first-timers, military families using VA financing, or investors looking for long-term rentals near the base. Property taxes are low, there's no city-wide HOA on most single-family streets, and Sunset has its own elementary and small-town feel despite being surrounded by larger neighbors. The trade-off is age — most homes in this range were built between 1955 and 1985, so inspection items like roofs, furnaces, and sewer lines matter more than they would on newer construction. Inventory under $300K turns over quickly, especially in spring and summer when PCS season picks up. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market in Sunset at this price.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Sunset.
How many homes under $300K are usually for sale in Sunset at one time? ▾
Sunset is a small city of roughly 5,500 residents, so active inventory in this price band is typically thin — often only a handful of listings at any given moment. Homes priced realistically under $300K usually go under contract within a couple of weeks, especially anything turn-key.
What kind of home can I realistically get in Sunset for under $300K? ▾
Most options at this price are 3-bedroom ramblers from the 1950s-70s between roughly 1,000 and 1,800 finished square feet, often with a partially finished basement. You'll also see some townhomes and a few manufactured homes on permanent foundations. Fully updated homes in this range are rare and tend to be the smaller footprints.
Will FHA and VA loans work on Sunset homes in this price range? ▾
Yes, and they're the most common financing used here because of Hill AFB. The 2024 FHA loan limit for Davis County sits well above $300K, so the loan type itself isn't a barrier. The bigger issue is condition — older Sunset homes occasionally have peeling exterior paint, roof age, or furnace issues that FHA and VA appraisers will flag.
How close is Sunset to Hill Air Force Base? ▾
The west gate of Hill AFB is about 5-7 minutes from most Sunset addresses via 1900 West or 700 North. That proximity is the main reason demand stays steady here even when interest rates rise — military buyers prioritize short commutes and BAH-friendly price points.
What are property taxes like on a $275-300K home in Sunset? ▾
Davis County property taxes run roughly 0.6-0.7% of assessed value for primary residences after the 45% residential exemption. On a $290,000 home that's generally in the $1,700-$2,000 per year range, which is reasonable compared to most other Western states.
Are HOA fees common at this price point in Sunset? ▾
Single-family homes in Sunset rarely carry an HOA — most of the city is older platted neighborhoods with no association. Townhomes and a few newer pocket developments do have HOAs, typically in the $100-$200 per month range covering exterior maintenance and common areas.
