City access with natural scenery
Convenience and nature converge in Fruit Heights, which offers the amenities of suburban life nestled against the stunning beauty of the Wasatch Range. Located approximately halfway between Ogden and Salt Lake City along U.S. Route 89, Fruit Heights is close enough for commuters heading to either city should their work take them outside the confines of Davis County. As its name suggests, this mountain town was formerly the site of fruit orchards. Fewer than 200 people lived here in 1960. The orchards are disappearing now that the population is approaching 6,000 residents, but the town remains in touch with nature. It is no exaggeration to say Fruit Heights caters to all types of outdoors people.
Exploring Fruit Loops Mountain Bike Park
Mountain bikers are drawn to the colorfully named Fruit Loops Mountain Bike Park. Bikers and hikers looking for a bigger challenge will find multiple trailheads to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, an ambitious work-in-progress that will eventually connect a 150-mile path from Provo to the Idaho border. Sport shooters take advantage of the Wasatch Shooters Association public range. For golfers, Davis Park is among the top public courses in Utah. Just south of the golf course is a slightly noisier family-friendly option: Cherry Hill Water Park, which has been a local summer mainstay since 1967. And Nicholls Park has a bit of something for everyone – a sprawling castle-themed playground, picnic area, baseball and softball diamonds, and the Gailey Trail along Bair Creek. “It’s like a little piece of heaven tucked right in the city,” Fruit Heights public information officer Karen Pohlman says of Gailey Trail.

A growth boom led to more homes
Given the town’s growth – the population has more than doubled since 1980 – it's no surprise that sprawling, custom-made single-family homes are the norm in Fruit Heights. These newer homes have eclectic architectural influences, from Tudor to Craftsman. Older subdivisions – in this case homes built in the 1970s and ‘80s -- tend to traditional split-level ranch-style homes. The average house size in Fruit Heights is 3,423 square feet. Most of those homes include ample yard space. However, living in Fruit Heights at a more affordable price point is also possible. Mobile homes are available in the community, so the price for housing in Fruit Heights ranges all the way from $65,000 to more than $2 million. The median home price is about $723,000.

Founder's Day and a free flick
Founder’s Day, held each August, is the primary civic celebration in Fruit Heights. 2024 marks the town’s 85th anniversary celebration. A quilt show that draws hundreds of entrants is among the highlight events of Founder’s Day. The town also sponsors an annual free movie night, allowing every resident to attend a free family-friendly film at The Kaysville Theatre once a year. Golf fans hoping to see the future stars of the PGA Tour get their wish each summer when Oakridge Country Club in neighboring Farmington hosts the Korn Ferry Tour’s Utah Championship. Tournament admission is free for Davis County residents, many of whom also serve as tournament volunteers.

Shopping and dining in nearby Kaysville and Farmington
Fruit Heights is home to houses and houses of worship – no fewer than five churches are within its boundaries. But for shopping and dining options, residents must visit neighboring Kaysville and Farmington. Both towns have a multitude of Mexican restaurants, from the sit-down Orlando’s Mexican Restaurant in Kaysville to the more casual Chonchis Taco Shop in Farmington. BC Chicken, which opened in Kaysville in 2000 AD, is a Greek restaurant that’s a long-time hit among locals. The nearest grocery stores are Smith’s Food and Drug in Farmington and Bowman’s Market in Kaysville.
Morgan County schools march to high ratings
Fruit Heights schools rank No. 3 amongst all Utah suburbs according to Niche. Residents east of US Route 89 feed into Morgan Elementary and Fairfield Junior High, while residents who live west of the highway go to H.C. Burton Elementary and Kaysville Junior High. All four schools have A-minus grades on Niche. Both junior high schools feed into Davis High School, an A-rated school which Niche ranks as Utah’s No. 16 public high school. Davis High’s celebrated football program has the most wins in Utah history, and the oft-decorated marching band has appeared in the Rose Parade and Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.
