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.
