Living in Centerville, Utah
Foothill trails, quiet neighborhoods and Parrish Lane for everyday errands. Centerville sits right in the middle of south Davis County, which is exactly how it got its name.
Right in the Middle of South Davis County
Centerville sits on a narrow strip of land between the Wasatch Range and Farmington Bay, with Bountiful to the south and Farmington to the north. An 1850 survey found the settlement sat right between those two towns, and the name Centerville stuck.
It's a residential city with plenty of established neighborhoods, from older homes near Main Street, several of them on the National Register of Historic Places, to homes on the foothills with big views of the valley and the lake. Parrish Lane is the commercial heart of town, with big-box stores, restaurants and local businesses.
Getting around is simple. I-15 runs through town and Parrish Lane connects to the Legacy Parkway, so Salt Lake City, Layton and Ogden are all within reach, and Station Park and Lagoon in Farmington are next door. The paved Legacy Parkway Trail runs along the west side, and trailheads on the east bench connect to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
