About Student Housing in Clearfield
Clearfield is a Davis County city adjacent to Hill Air Force Base, and its rental market reflects that military-adjacent economy more than any single university. Davis Technical College draws some student renters, and students commuting to Weber State or Salt Lake via FrontRunner use Clearfield as an affordable base. Rents are among the lowest in the Wasatch Front — you can find older shared units under $600/mo per person — and the market is stable without the seasonal spikes of a typical college town. The FrontRunner stop in Clearfield is the main transit asset for students who need to commute.
