Daybreak sits in South Jordan—about a half hour from Utah County’s emerging “Silicon Slopes” technology district. So, you can work where the jobs are and come home to walkable streets, lakeside paths, and friendly parks.

Why Daybreak ranks among Utah’s best places to live
Every facet of Daybreak aims to make your day better—from neighborhood design to everyday conveniences. Learn more about why we’re considered one of the best places to live in Utah.

Sustainability
Daybreak has grown to encompass 6,000+ homes and 21,000+ residents. Real, sustainable growth helps local commerce thrive while protecting what matters most. Through careful conservation of energy, land and other resources, we’re building a safe, healthy future for our kids. And here’s a fun fact even Mother Nature loves: by the time Daybreak is complete, we will have planted 100,000 new trees.
Walkability
Our 5‑minute rule puts parks, restaurants, shopping, schools, offices, and TRAX within easy walking or biking distance of home. In other words, you can leave the car in the garage and explore.

Healthy living
With 30+ miles of trails, Oquirrh Lake in the Lower Villages, and the Watercourse coming to the Upper Villages, Daybreak feels like one big playground/gym/meditation studio. At least one park sits within easy walking distance of every home.
Education
One of the very first things built in Daybreak was a neighborhood school. Since then, six additional schools—public, private, and charter—have opened, with more planned. Explore schools in Daybreak.
Transportation
Getting from your new Daybreak home to everywhere remains easy—and it keeps getting easier—thanks to TRAX light rail, the Mountain View Corridor, and other major transportation projects.
LiveDAYBREAK
A key element of Daybreak’s vibrancy: LiveDAYBREAK, our nonprofit community council. For more than a decade, LiveDAYBREAK has woven together connection, lifelong learning, arts & diversity, healthy living, and philanthropy—plus a whole lot of fun.
New homes in Utah’s best‑selling community
Daybreak includes 12 villages and districts, each catering to different lifestyles and life stages. That mix—of architecture and people—is why 1 out of 6 new homes sold in the Salt Lake Valley continues to be in Daybreak.
Start exploring Villages & Districts to find your fit. Or simply stop by an Information Center and talk with a Daybreak Concierge.
