The Beehive State is a relaxing, charming, and overall safe place to call home, but there is one Utah city in particular where you can experience pure peace — Kaysville. According to Safewise, this city is considered one of the top five safest places to live in Utah. It is where you can find plenty of activities for a night out on the town or you can head into the mountains for some solitude and quiet. Kaysville has a little bit of everything and there’s no question why it is one of the safest places to call home and one of the most peaceful places to live in the country.
Kaysville, Utah is a city with approximately 33,000 residents in Davis County. It has a rich pioneer history as the first settler, Hector Caleb Haight, moved to the area shortly after the pioneers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints entered the Salt Lake Valley.
Today, when you visit this charming town, you’ll notice the historic buildings lining Main Street and the small town feel, despite being so large. According to Safewise, Kaysville has a low violent crime rate, especially when compared to other cities around the state.
But it isn’t just the statistics that make Kaysville such a wonderful place to live. It is the overall community, attractions, and beauty of the entire city.
If you are looking for entertainment and excitement, gather the entire family and spend the day at Boondocks Food and Fun, where you will find both indoor and outdoor activities ranging from laser tag and go-karts to bowling and bumper boats.

Step inside Bowman’s Market for some snacks or just to look around. Bowman's is a historic grocery store in Kaysville that first opened its doors in 1913.
This restaurant is known for serving some of the best breakfast dishes in northern Utah.
Although, if you don’t want to spend all of your time in the city, you don’t have to. It is easy to escape into nature and find some peace and solitude.
There are numerous parks where you can spend time outdoors like the Kaysville East Mountain Wilderness Park, which is a haven for hikers, mountain bikers, runners, horseback riders, and more. Here, you will find a 1.3-mile loop trail that is family-friendly, well-maintained, and provides incredible city and mountain views.
Just north of Kaysville is also the popular Adams Canyon Trail. At just under four miles, this out-and-back hiking trail features a beautiful waterfall and views that will leave you speechless.
There are many places around the Beehive State where you can experience peace and quiet, but with low crime rates, lots of activities, and easy access to nature, there’s no question why Kaysville is at the top. This is one of the most peaceful places to live in the country.
