Layton stands as Davis County's largest and most dynamic city, home to approximately 82,000 residents across 22 square miles of northern Utah. Located just 25 miles north of Salt Lake City and 10 miles south of Ogden, Layton serves as a crucial hub connecting northern and central Utah communities. As a moving company serving Layton for over 25 years, we understand what makes this city special - its strong military community, excellent schools, diverse neighborhoods, and family-oriented culture.
Hill Air Force Base defines much of Layton's character and economy. As Utah's largest single-site employer with over 24,000 military and civilian personnel, Hill AFB creates a steady demand for professional moving services. We've completed thousands of military PCS (Permanent Change of Station) relocations and have become specialists in the unique requirements military families face: tight timelines when orders arrive, TMO (Transportation Management Office) coordination, weight allowances, required documentation, storage needs during transition periods, and the stress of frequent relocations.
Our Salt Lake City office at 2350 W 1700 S is strategically located 23 miles (30 minutes) south of Layton via I-15, making us one of the most accessible professional moving companies for Layton residents. This proximity translates to lower transportation costs, faster response times for urgent military moves, and the ability to efficiently complete moves throughout the day. Many Layton neighborhoods are just 25-35 minutes from our office.
Layton's diverse housing stock reflects its growth from a small farming community to a thriving suburban city. The median home value approaches $450,000, with properties ranging from affordable starter homes near Hill AFB ($300K-$400K) to upscale developments in East Layton and the Layton Hills ($500K-$900K+). Neighborhoods vary from historic downtown areas with homes built in the 1950s-60s to brand-new master-planned communities still under construction.
The city offers exceptional quality of life with highly-rated Davis School District schools, abundant parks and recreation (including the Layton Hills Trail System), convenient shopping at Layton Hills Mall, and easy access to outdoor recreation in nearby Weber Canyon and Antelope Island. This combination attracts both military families seeking stability during their Utah assignment and civilian families drawn by affordability, schools, and community.
Layton's location along the I-15 corridor provides excellent connectivity. Residents can reach Salt Lake City in 35 minutes, Ogden in 15 minutes, and ski resorts in under an hour. For military families, the commute to Hill AFB gates takes just 10-15 minutes from most Layton neighborhoods. This accessibility makes Layton a popular choice for both military personnel working at the base and civilians commuting to jobs throughout the Wasatch Front.
