Living in Roy: The Affordable Core
Roy is the "Smartest Buy" in Northern Utah. Located just minutes from the West Gate of Hill Air Force Base, it offers a stable, established community with unbeatable affordability. It is a city of brick ramblers, mature trees, and friendly neighbors, making it the #1 target for military families and first-time buyers who want to build equity.
The city is currently undergoing a massive transformation. The 5600 South Widening Project is pushing toward a Summer 2026 completion, which will fix the historic traffic bottlenecks. Even bigger changes are coming to the train station area: in March 2025, the city approved new 10-story zoning for the "Downtown East" district, signaling the start of a modern, high-density city center.

Neighborhoods & Lifestyle
- The 1900 West Corridor: The future downtown. With new zoning approved in 2025, expect this area near the FrontRunner station to become a walkable urban hub.
- Eagle Lake District: The quiet east side. Homes here border the golf course and offer a more secluded feel while staying close to the freeway.
- West Roy: The suburban classic. Miles of 1960s/70s brick ramblers on 0.20-acre lots. It is the definition of stable, affordable living.
