Davis County.

• Position: COUNTY REPORT

Davis County must have been listening when Aesop suggested, "slow and steady wins the race" as 2018 brought continued, stable growth across the county. Davis County continues to reflect well in comparison to other counties, providing a more economical approach to housing and commercial real estate as well as brisk drive-times to downtown Salt Lake City, the International Airport, and immediately accessible outdoor recreation.

With the continued growth, the residential market has blazed new paths led by the demand for higher-density projects in areas that have needs which are still unmet to date. As a result, new retail and medical office developments alike have popped up to serve the demand spurred by the rapid residential progression. The expansion of Hwy 89 and the Legacy Corridor only promise more travelers and better access to the County in the future, expediting growth and increasing demand across all markets.
