Living in Sunset: The Gateway to Hill Air Force Base

Sunset is the unsung hero of Davis County. Located directly adjacent to the west gates of Hill Air Force Base, it offers the shortest commute for military personnel and civilian contractors. It is a small, tight-knit community defined by affordable post-war brick cottages, mature trees, and a fierce sense of patriotism.

The city is currently at the center of a massive infrastructure upgrade. The 1800 North Interchange Project is in full swing through 2026, widening the city's main corridor and rebuilding the I-15 access points. This will drastically improve traffic flow and has already sparked new interest in commercial development, including the recently approved Sunset Mixed-Use project near Main Street.

Neighborhoods & Lifestyle

  • The 1800 North Corridor: The growth zone. Homes here are gaining value rapidly as the road widening project improves access and commercial amenities.
  • Central Park District: The heart of the community. Living here means walking distance to the city offices, the splash pad, and the "Fun Days" festivities.
  • West Sunset: The quiet side bordering Clinton. This area features slightly larger lots and 1970s ramblers that are perfect for renovation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sunset

Why is it called Sunset?
It isn't just a name—it's the view! The city is situated on a west-facing slope that offers spectacular, unobstructed views of the sunsets over the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island.
When is Sunset City Fun Days?
The 2026 celebration is projected for June 12–13, 2026. It is a classic small-town festival held at Central Park, featuring a car show, 5K run, parade, and fireworks. It is a major homecoming event for residents.
Is it good for military families?
It is arguably the best location for them. Sunset sits right outside the Roy Gate and West Gate of Hill Air Force Base. You can often come home for lunch. The housing market is also perfectly priced for VA loan limits.
What is the 1800 North project?
UDOT is currently widening 1800 North to improve traffic flow between I-15 and 2000 West. While construction (active through 2026) can be a headache, the end result will be a modern, efficient corridor that boosts property values in the area.
