The city offers a diverse range of housing options, from affordable condos and townhomes to luxury custom homes on the East Bench.
Hill Air Force Base is Layton's economic anchor.

The base's presence creates a stable, diverse community with strong rental demand and consistent housing turnover as military families rotate in and out.
Layton Commons Park is the city's premier recreational amenity — a 100-acre park featuring sports fields, a splash pad, walking trails, and event spaces. The park hosts community events throughout the year and is a beloved gathering place for Layton families.
Shopping and dining are abundant in Layton. The Layton Hills Mall, Layton Commons shopping area, and numerous restaurants and retail centers make Layton one of Davis County's commercial hubs. The city's commercial vitality supports property values and attracts new residents.
Real estate investment in Layton is particularly attractive for investors targeting the military rental market. Properties near Hill AFB command strong rents and low vacancy rates, as military families typically prefer to rent during shorter assignments.
