The Trail Apartments

📍 Maker Way, Farmington, UT · Q3 2026

In a market where 'luxury apartments' often means granite countertops and stainless appliances, The Trail is doing something genuinely different. Woodbury Corporation's 320-unit community on Maker Way is designed around a single insight: the most valuable amenity in Farmington isn't a pool or a gym — it's access to the outdoors. The Trail's direct connection to the Legacy Parkway trail system isn't a marketing bullet point; it's the organizing principle of the entire development.

The site selection tells the story. Woodbury had multiple options along the Maker Way corridor, but they chose the parcel with the longest trail frontage — even though it required more complex grading and infrastructure work. The rooftop terrace is oriented to maximize Wasatch Mountain views. The dog wash station and bike storage room are premium-quality installations, not afterthoughts. Every design decision signals that this community is built for people who use the outdoors, not just people who like the idea of it.

The unit mix is equally deliberate. The Trail's 320 units span studios through three-bedrooms, but the emphasis is on one- and two-bedroom units in the 850–1,200 sq ft range — the sweet spot for the dual-income professional couples and young families that Farmington's demographic profile skews toward. The three-bedroom units, at 1,450 sq ft, are specifically sized to accommodate families who want the flexibility of renting before buying in the area.

Projected rents of $1,650–$2,800/month will establish a new ceiling for the Farmington rental market. For context, the current market leader — a 2019-vintage community near Station Park — is achieving $1,400–$2,200/month at 97% occupancy. The Trail's premium over that product reflects the new construction quality, the trail access, and the proximity to the Western Sports Park and Ivy Acres Park. Woodbury's leasing team is projecting a 90-day lease-up to stabilization — aggressive, but supported by the pre-leasing interest they've already received.

For the broader Farmington real estate market, The Trail's arrival matters beyond its own walls. A successful lease-up at premium rents validates the pricing assumptions of every other residential project in the corridor — and gives homebuilders the confidence to push asking prices on for-sale product. The Trail is the canary in the coal mine for the entire North Farmington Station area's residential market.

What This Means for Your Investment

The Trail is going to set the rent ceiling for the entire Farmington market. When 320 luxury units hit the market at $1,650–$2,800/month, it resets what 'premium' means in Davis County. For homeowners nearby, that's good news — it validates the price point and attracts the demographic that eventually becomes buyers. Watch The Trail's lease-up velocity closely; it will tell you everything about where the Farmington market is heading.

The Trail's premium rent levels ($1,650–$2,800/month) will establish a new market ceiling for Farmington residential, validating price assumptions for for-sale product in the corridor. Comparable luxury communities near trail systems in Draper and South Jordan have sustained 95%+ occupancy for 5+ years post-delivery, suggesting strong long-term demand fundamentals. For nearby homeowners, The Trail's successful lease-up will provide comparable rent data that supports higher valuations on owner-occupied properties.

The Trail will bring approximately 500–600 new residents to the Maker Way corridor at a demographic profile (young professionals, dual-income couples, active families) that is ideal for the area's restaurants, fitness studios, and retail. The trail connectivity creates a daily flow of residents between The Trail, Ivy Acres Park, and the Western Sports Park — animating the corridor with pedestrian activity that makes the entire neighborhood feel more vibrant and safe.
