South Jordan
A master-planned community hub with Daybreak's unique walkable lake neighborhood, excellent parks, and growing amenities in Salt Lake County.
Overview
South Jordan is best known for Daybreak, a groundbreaking master-planned community that has become a model for new urbanism nationwide. Daybreak features a 22-acre lake, miles of trails, mixed-use retail, and a walkable village center. But South Jordan offers much more than Daybreak, with established neighborhoods, excellent schools, and a convenient location between Salt Lake City and Utah Valley.
The city has grown into one of Salt Lake County's most popular family destinations, with top-rated schools, extensive parks and recreation facilities, and a strong sense of community. The Jordan River Parkway trail system runs through the city, providing miles of paved trails for biking, walking, and running.
