Homes Under $500,000 in Sunset, Utah
Sunset is one of Davis County's most affordable entry points — a compact, working-class city of roughly 5,000 residents wedged between Clearfield and Clinton along the Wasatch Front. Homes under $500,000 here aren't the exception; they're the rule. The city's tight grid of single-family ranchers, split-levels, and modest two-story homes was built primarily between the 1950s and 1990s, which means buyers in this price range are typically getting established neighborhoods with mature trees, larger lot sizes relative to newer master-planned communities, and real neighbors who have lived there for years. Hill Air Force Base sits just a few miles south, making Sunset a consistent draw for military families and federal contractors who need proximity to the base without paying Layton or Syracuse prices. Davis School District serves the area, with local elementary schools within walking distance of most neighborhoods.
For buyers with a budget at or below $500,000, Sunset delivers more square footage per dollar than many comparable Wasatch Front cities — it's not unusual to find three- and four-bedroom homes with two-car garages in the $350,000–$450,000 range, though inventory moves quickly when rates dip. The Wasatch Mountains are visible to the east, and the Great Salt Lake shoreline is just a short drive west. Commuters reach Salt Lake City in roughly 35–40 minutes via I-15, and the FrontRunner commuter rail station in Clearfield is close enough to make car-free commuting realistic.

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.
