Single Story Homes for Sale in Sunset, Utah
Sunset is a small Davis County city wedged between Clinton, Clearfield, and Hill Air Force Base, and its housing stock reflects exactly that history. Most of the neighborhoods went up between the 1950s and 1970s to house base personnel and their families, which means single-level ramblers on quarter-acre lots are the dominant style here — not the two-story production homes you see dominating newer Davis County subdivisions like Farmington Station or West Point. For buyers who don't want stairs, who want a flat driveway in winter, or who want a layout that works for older parents or young kids, Sunset is one of the more honest places to shop along the Wasatch Front.
The trade-off is age. A typical single story home in Sunset is 1,200 to 1,800 square feet above grade with a full or partial basement, original or lightly updated kitchens, and mature trees that you can't fake in a newer build. Prices generally run below comparable single-level homes in Layton or Kaysville, and the location puts you 5 minutes from Hill AFB's west gate, 10 minutes from Layton Hills Mall, and roughly 35 minutes to the Salt Lake City airport via I-15. Inventory turns over quickly because the price point attracts military families, first-time buyers, and downsizers all at once.

Common questions
About single story homes in Sunset.
Are single story homes common in Sunset? ▾
Yes. Sunset's housing stock leans heavily toward post-war ramblers and ranch-style homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s when Hill Air Force Base expansion drove development. Single-level layouts make up a sizable share of what trades hands here each year, though inventory turns over quickly because of the price point.
What's the typical price range for a single-level home in Sunset? ▾
Most single story homes in Sunset trade in the mid-$300s to low-$400s, depending on lot size, garage configuration, and whether the basement is finished. Homes without a basement tend to sit on the lower end, while updated ramblers with a finished daylight basement can push higher.
Do these homes usually have basements? ▾
Many do. A true single-level home with no basement exists in Sunset but is less common — most ramblers here were built over a full or partial basement, which adds bedrooms and storage without adding stairs to daily living. If stair-free living is the priority, look for the listing remarks to specify slab-on-grade or no basement.
How close is Sunset to Hill Air Force Base and Layton shopping? ▾
Sunset sits directly west of Hill AFB — most of the base is a 5 to 10 minute drive. Layton Hills Mall, Costco, and the I-15 interchange at Antelope Drive are all under 10 minutes, which is part of why single story homes here move fast with military families and commuters.
Are lot sizes big enough for RV parking or a shop? ▾
Often, yes. Older ramblers in Sunset typically sit on 0.15 to 0.25 acre lots with rear access or wide side yards, and detached shops and RV pads are a common feature. Newer infill builds tend to have smaller footprints, so check the lot dimensions on listings that matter to you.
Is Sunset a good fit for buyers wanting to age in place? ▾
It's a practical choice. Flat terrain, single-level floor plans, short drives to Davis Hospital and Tanner Clinic in Layton, and lower price points than neighboring Kaysville or Farmington all work in favor of buyers looking to settle in one home long-term.
