Centralized city with industry and outdoor opportunities
True to its name, Centerville sits between the Great Salt Lake to the west and the Wasatch Mountain range to the east, while Salt Lake City is about 14 miles south and Ogden is roughly 27 miles north. Settled around 1847, Centerville was a small farming community and didn’t become a city until 1915. Now, it has a growing population of over 16,500 people. Jobs are abundant in the manufacturing, retail and public administration sectors. “It’s that small-town feel that brings people to Centerville,” says Realtor Heather Groom with Keller Williams Westfield, who has eight years of experience. “They have a great community, good restaurants and good schools, but you’re still not far from downtown. Everything is accessible.”
Centerville is a centralized city providing a wide array of industry offerings.
There are numerous outdoor activities to be found within Centerville.

The listing price range was between $200,000 and $1 million, depending on property age and size. “There are some historic homes, and then you’ve got a lot of areas that are being renovated where the homes were built 50 years ago,” Groom says. “They’re charming, fun homes with a lot of flair.” Neighborhoods central to the city have a variety of housing types, including ranch-style homes, raised ranches, split levels and multi-story Craftsman homes. Contemporary condos, townhouses and Craftsman estates are common in north and south neighborhoods.

Centerville Canyon Trail leads to a waterfall for hikers and bikers to explore. “The access to the trail system is great. If you’re up in the mountains, you can get views of the Great Salt Lake,” Groom says. There are six public parks in the city, with everything from playgrounds to sports fields and tennis courts. Freedom Hills Park has a disc golf course, and there’s a community garden at The Whitaker Heritage Museum. Centerville offers youth summer camps and recreational programs like a ski school.
