Clearfield sits along I-15 in northern Davis County, immediately south of Hill Air Force Base. Roughly 32,000 residents call the city home. Housing stock blends mid-century neighborhoods, established family subdivisions, military-area rentals, and ongoing redevelopment. The FrontRunner Clearfield station, State Route 193, and proximity to Weber State University–Davis and Davis Technical College anchor a growing employment and education base.
People move to Clearfield for affordable housing, Hill Air Force Base employment, excellent transportation, and a welcoming atmosphere for military families and first-time buyers. The city is a top landing spot for VA-loan borrowers, FHA first-time buyers, and PCS relocations.
Clearfield's owner-occupancy is balanced with a meaningful active-duty rental segment. Typical 2026 detached prices range from the high-$300Ks for entry-level homes to the mid-$500Ks for newer or larger residences. VA, FHA, and Utah Housing Corp programs all see heavy volume; reverse-mortgage interest is steady among long-tenured owners.
Clearfield is served by the Davis School District with Clearfield High School as the primary high-school assignment, plus a strong elementary and junior-high feeder network. Weber State University–Davis and Davis Technical College sit within the city; charter and private options round out the picture.
Clearfield has a substantial senior population — many longtime homeowners with built-up equity. Davis County Senior Services, Davis Hospital, and the Clearfield Aquatic and Fitness Center support the community. Reverse mortgages, HECM for Purchase, and downsizing into single-level patio homes are common conversations.
Clearfield is home to one of Utah's largest veteran and active-duty populations because of Hill Air Force Base. VA loans — including assumable VA financing and PCS-driven refinances — are heavily used in the city. The Salt Lake City VA Medical Center and Hill AFB military medical system serve Clearfield borrowers.
