Living in Clearfield: The Industrial & Transit Hub

Clearfield is the economic workhorse of Davis County. Home to the massive Freeport Center and a dedicated FrontRunner station, it is a city built for business and seamless transit. For homebuyers, Clearfield continues to offer some of the most accessible entry-level housing in the region, making it the #1 target for first-time buyers and savvy investors in 2026.

The city is currently in the midst of a historic identity shift. The Clearfield Station project—a massive 56-acre Transit-Oriented Development—is hitting major milestones this Spring 2026. Residential towers and modern office spaces are actively going vertical, creating a vibrant "urban core." Simultaneously, construction at Lakeside Square is transforming Mabey Pond into a premium destination with a public beach and kayak launch scheduled for completion later this year.
