Rating 4.08 out of 5 275 reviews
The people in Layton are really what makes it so great. Neighbors are willing to help one another out and to serve one another. It might sound kind of dumb but when I couldn't find my cat I found so much support in the community and had many people tell us they would be on the look out for him. I also find people on the street just smiling and being happy waving at everyone. Overall I fell really safe and supported in this community. There isn't too many extravagant or fun things to do within the city but I still love it!
I think Layton is a great place to live given the closeness to the mountains and the great coffee shops, however I would like to see more diversity. Many of the residents of Layton belong to one single religion and it can be difficult for me and other like me who don't practice that religion. Diversity would make this place so much greater!
Neighborhoods in Layton have such a warm and inviting tone. I've lived in three different neighborhoods within Layton, and at each one the neighbors were eager to introduce themselves and in most cases a friendship was formed between our two families.
I've also been able to find a very nice and welcoming queer community within the city. On the contrary, I've also encountered a decent amount of homophobic and racist people, which is one thing I wish was a little less prominent.
Putting that aside, I'd say that I've had a fairly good experience living in Layton.
