Sunset's owner-occupancy is balanced with a meaningful active-duty rental segment. Typical 2026 detached prices range from the mid-$300Ks for entry-level homes to the high-$400Ks for larger or renovated residences. VA, FHA, and Utah Housing Corp programs all see heavy volume.
Sunset is served by the Davis School District with Clearfield High School as a common high-school assignment, plus a strong elementary and junior-high feeder network.
