Living in Fruit Heights: The Hidden Bench
Fruit Heights is Davis County's best-kept secret. Perched on the bench above Kaysville, it is a strictly residential community—meaning no grocery stores, no gas stations, and no commercial traffic. It is defined by its stunning mountain views, lingering fruit orchards, and a quiet, "front porch" lifestyle that attracts buyers looking for privacy without isolation.
The city is currently unlocking its outdoor potential. In late 2025, legislation was introduced to convey nearly 300 acres of federal land to the city, paving the way for a massive expansion of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail network in 2026. Simultaneously, the city has solved the connectivity issue with the Connext Fiber expansion, bringing gigabit internet to the mountain.

Neighborhoods & Lifestyle
- The Bench (East of 89): The most prestigious zone. Homes here back up to the mountain and offer direct access to the new trail network and panoramic sunset views.
