Living in West Bountiful: Rural Charm & Big Lots

West Bountiful is the "Unicorn" of Davis County. It offers a lifestyle that is almost impossible to find elsewhere: sprawling 1-acre horse properties and a quiet, rural atmosphere, located just two minutes from I-15 and the massive Costco shopping district. It is a place where you can own a barn and a tractor, yet still commute to downtown Salt Lake City in 12 minutes.

The city has recently solved its biggest infrastructure challenge. The city-wide Google Fiber buildout is hitting its stride, bringing multi-gigabit internet speeds to these rural lots by 2026. This allows residents to enjoy the "country life" without sacrificing connectivity. Additionally, the community is gearing up for its legendary Independence Day Celebration on July 4, 2026, known locally as the "Best Small Town Celebration in Utah."

Neighborhoods & Lifestyle

  • The Historic West Side: The heart of the rural zone. Here you will find 1970s custom brick homes on massive lots with pastures, barns, and gardens.
  • The Commons District: The eastern edge bordering I-15. While busy with retail (Costco, Target, Dining), the residential streets tucked just behind it are surprisingly quiet.
  • Onion Parkway: The area near the legacy trail. It offers newer construction on slightly smaller lots (0.33 acre) but maintains the open, green feel of the city.

Frequently Asked Questions About West Bountiful

Why are the lots so big?
West Bountiful has historically prioritized agricultural preservation. Zoning in many areas requires minimum lot sizes of 0.50 to 1.0 acres, preventing the high-density subdivision sprawl seen in other cities.
How is the internet service?
It is now excellent. The city partnered with Google Fiber to build out a city-wide network. As of 2025/2026, most residents have access to multi-gigabit speeds, making it a prime location for remote work.
Is there a 4th of July Celebration?
Yes, and it is legendary. The West Bountiful Independence Day Celebration (July 4, 2026) at City Park features a massive parade, safety fair, and fireworks. It draws crowds from all over Davis County.
Where do kids go to school?
Most students attend West Bountiful Elementary (a newer, highly-rated facility) and then move on to Viewmont High School. The schools are a major draw for families moving to the area.
