Today, Daybreak is home to more than 30,000 residents across multiple distinctive neighborhoods. The community is anchored by the stunning 67-acre Oquirrh Lake — a private, residents-only lake where homeowners can paddleboard, kayak, picnic, and enjoy scenic waterfront trails. The lake and its surrounding green spaces form the community's central gathering place and identity.

An impressive 88% of elementary students walk to school on the community's dedicated trail network, a remarkable testament to Daybreak's pedestrian-friendly design.
Housing options in Daybreak are remarkably diverse.
