About Student Housing in Bountiful
Bountiful sits between Salt Lake City and Ogden on the I-15 corridor, making it a practical mid-point location for students who commute to either city's universities. The rental market is quieter than both Salt Lake and Ogden — this is primarily a bedroom community, and most of the apartment stock reflects that. Students here are typically at the University of Utah, Weber State, or SLCC, splitting their time between studying and whatever brings them to this stretch of Davis County. Rents are moderate and parking is easy. The main student neighborhoods sit near the I-215 interchange and along 400 North where apartment clusters exist.
