Growing and close-knit master-planned community

Daybreak is a growing master-planned community on the western end of South Jordan, about 20 miles south of Salt Lake City. Established in 2004, the community comprises several varying subdivisions built around Oquirrh Lake, with the Oquirrh Mountains as their scenic backdrop. “Daybreak provides a pretty active lifestyle, with trails, the lake and pickleball/tennis courts,” says Sandy Ewing, a Realtor with Primed Real Estate and over 18 years of industry experience. “The lifestyle has been the number one thing that attracts people here, and once they really understand it, they’re hooked.”

SoDa Row is a community anchor for shopping, dining and events, like the LiveDaybreak summer concert series, and the neighborhood receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. “People quickly realize there’s a sense of community here. I moved here from California in 2017, and I've definitely built a tribe for myself,” says Rachel Williams, a Realtor with Top Equity Realty who lives in Daybreak. Daybreak is poised for more growth, with plans for building around 20,000 more homes. “Once homebuyers move to Daybreak," says Ewing, "they stay in Daybreak.” In case residents choose to travel, though, nearby access to Utah Route 85 and the TRAX light rail system makes it easy to get around Salt Lake County.

Daybreak’s varied and aesthetically pleasing home styles range from $400s to 1 million and up.

Diverse blocks upheld by Daybreak Community Association

Overall, homes vary in different parts of Daybreak, like waterfront properties and townhouses in the Lake Village area or Craftsman-style single-family homes in Creekside and Garden Park; there's new construction going up throughout the community. Most homes here range between $500,000 and $800,000, with an average price of $620,000; in neighboring Oquirrh Park and Glenmoor Country Estates, averages are $682,000 and $630,000, respectively.

Starting around $700,000, homes may have up to six bedrooms, front porches or attached garages, while waterfront homes inspired by Tudor and Colonial Revival styles start around $1 million. “It depends on what you want, but they really have something for everyone here,” says Ewing. Residents are part of the Daybreak Community Association, which provides shared amenities, like pools, clubs and more.

Daybreak Community Center and Bingham Creek Regional Park

The Daybreak Community Center offers fitness classes, a gym, a track and an outdoor pool. Other community amenities include The Spoke (a bike and skate park) and courts for tennis, volleyball, pickleball and basketball; more than 30 miles' worth of trails are popular with morning joggers, dog walkers and cyclists. “They designed the neighborhood so that every home in the neighborhood is within a five-minute walk of a park,” says Williams. At Daybreak’s Beach Club, residents can rent watercraft to use on Oquirrh Lake, which is stocked with bluegill, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. Along Daybreak’s northern border, Bingham Creek Regional Park offers 160 acres of recreational space, including multi-use fields, trails for walking and biking and a disc golf course. The 18-hole course at Glenmoor Golf Club is next to the park, featuring rolling green fairways set by mountain views.

Shop and dine at SoDa Row

SoDa Row is Daybreak’s central shopping and dining destination, featuring outdoor murals and seating, as well as local businesses like Dave’s Barber Shop and Nest Boutique, for women's apparel. Ewing recommends Tio’s for authentic Mexican cuisine, and The Break Sports Grill for American comfort food alongside craft beers; residents visit the latter to watch sports with neighbors and play billiards and shuffleboard. On Saturdays from June through October, the Daybreak Farmer’s Market at SoDa Row offers locally sourced produce and handmade crafts; residents can also find groceries at Smith’s off Route 85. About a mile north of SoDa Row, there’s also shopping and dining at North Shore, across from Oquirrh Lake. “That area’s been recently developed; there’s pizza, sushi, gelato, boutiques and Harmon’s,” says Ewing.
