The sound of a helicopter whirring through the air is common in Woods Cross, a suburban city about 10 miles north of Salt Lake City. The area’s Skypark Airport houses the KSL News traffic helicopter, which is known to take off at 5 a.m. on most mornings. In addition to the airport, Woods Cross has a primarily residential landscape, serving as a bedroom community for its population of about 11,500 people. “It used to be all fields and farmlands years ago, and they took that land and put newer homes in,” says Realtor Dan Nix with Coldwell Banker Realty, who has over 20 years of experience and operates throughout Davis County. “Woods Cross is about 15 minutes from the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, so it’s a great commute for people.” While most residents commute downtown, some local workers thrive in the construction and education industries. Top employers in the area include Silver Eagle Refining and Legacy Prep Academy.

Single-family homes within newer communities
Woods Cross has multiple established neighborhoods and subdivisions. Neighborhoods by the airport, like Meadow Crossing and Wood Estates, share common architectural styles such as mid-century ranchers and traditional single and multi-story homes. New construction Craftsman homes are found heading west toward Legacy Parkway and the marshes. “There are a lot of starter homes in Woods Cross, so it’s the most economical option in Davis County,” Nix says.
Single-family homes have a median sales price of $516,000, which is higher than the national median price of $407,000. Listing prices in the area range between $40,000 for a manufactured home and $786,000 for a multi-story property.

Getting active in Woods Cross parks
There are about eight public parks in Woods Cross, some with playgrounds and athletic fields. In addition to an outdoor swimming pool and a disc golf course, there’s also the Foxboro Dog Park. “There are quite a few pocket parks within the newer communities,” Nix says. Woods Cross hosts multiple events at its parks, including a Memorial Day celebration and Movies in the Park. Multiple walking trails wind through the neighborhoods, connecting the green spaces. Indoor recreation can be found at facilities like Momentum Gymnastics, The Kitchen Indoor Pickleball and Fly High trampoline park. Northern Utah’s Legacy Nature Preserve is a wildlife refuge with over 2,225 acres of marshes and open water channels along Farmington Bay. There’s also the Mueller Park Picnic Area, about 4 miles east into the Wasatch Mountain range.

Nearby shops and restaurants on I-15 and Main
Most shopping and dining are centered along South Main Street’s commercial corridor. There are dozens of chains and fast-food options, plus local brunch cafes and restaurants, as well as car dealerships. Smith’s is the regional grocery store. “There aren’t any grocery stores and such in Woods Cross, but there’s North Salt Lake and Bountiful that have stores within five minutes,” Nix says. Heading north along Interstate 15, between Woods Cross and Bountiful, is The Commons shopping mall, as well as a selection of local restaurants.

Navigating Wood Cross’s modes of transportation
Two major highways sandwich Woods Cross – Utah State Highway 67, known as Legacy Parkway, travels along the west of the city, while Interstate 15 is on its east side. Both highways travel north to south. Woods Cross Station houses the FrontRunner commuter rail line. “Those who don’t want to park downtown can use the park-and-ride in Woods Cross and head in. It’s a direct line,” Nix says. The Salt Lake City International Airport is about 14 miles away.
