You don’t become the Valley’s favorite destination for homes, fun, connection and adventure overnight. It takes vision, passion, commitment and decades of hard work. Not to mention the support of residents, community members and local thought leaders like the city of South Jordan. Here’s a heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make Daybreak, well, Daybreak. And here’s to living the 5-minute life in the exciting new era to come.
What’s the 5-minute life? It’s a paddle boarding, bike riding, light rail catching, pool splashing, ice cream scooping, tail wagging, front porch chatting good time — all just 5 minutes from your front door. (With the new destinations, new experiences and new fun of Downtown Daybreak, coming soon.)
Big vision, big honor. Daybreak is awarded the Grand Achievement in Regional Design/Planning by Envision Utah.

This is a story about vision, planning and transformation. One that appreciates how the great promise of Daybreak has grown into an extraordinary reality. And celebrates the ways, big and small, each day is more effortless and healthful and beautiful than the last.
What could be better than the first 20 years of Daybreak? The years to come. Look forward to a new downtown, community fun, family-friendly entertainment — including the Salt Lake Bees — and so much more coming soon.
Our Info Studio at the Cove House is open now. Stop by to enjoy a sweet treat, play a game of cornhole, dip your toes in The Watercourse, and tour a model home or 10.
