Woods Cross is a compact city of roughly 12,000 residents straddling the Davis-Salt Lake county line, making it one of the closest Davis County cities to downtown SLC. The housing stock is split between older neighborhoods with mid-century homes and a growing number of townhome and apartment developments near the 500 South corridor. Woods Cross has experienced commercial revitalization along its main corridors, attracting new restaurants and services. The FrontRunner station provides rail access to SLC (20 min) and Ogden. For investors, Woods Cross offers a value play, acquisition costs are below Bountiful and Centerville while still accessing Davis County schools and the SLC job market. The city's proximity to the refinery district along the west side is a perception factor that keeps prices accessible but is manageable with proper property selection in eastern neighborhoods.

The western portion of Woods Cross hosts petroleum refining operations that have been present for decades. Properties in the eastern and central neighborhoods are well-separated from industrial activity and don't experience direct impacts. However, the proximity creates a perception discount that keeps overall property values below neighboring Bountiful. Savvy investors use this to their advantage, eastern Woods Cross properties offer Davis County schools and SLC proximity at discounted prices, while tenants focused on commute and schools rather than prestige are happy to rent here.
Woods Cross is uniquely positioned, it's the Davis County city closest to SLC, with a 15-minute I-15 drive to downtown or a 20-minute FrontRunner ride. This matters for tenants who work in Salt Lake and want Davis School District zoning with a shorter downtown commute than northern Davis County. The commute advantage also works northward, Ogden and Hill AFB are reachable in 30 minutes. This geographic centrality means the tenant pool draws from both SLC and Davis/Weber county employment bases, diversifying demand.
Woods Cross has approved several mixed-use and higher-density projects along the 500 South corridor and near the FrontRunner station. These projects will add rental supply but also bring commercial amenities that improve the area's appeal. The net effect is likely positive for existing property values as the neighborhood evolves. Investors already positioned in Woods Cross benefit from the improving perception and added walkable services without the supply directly competing with their single-family holdings.
