Pleasant View is a Weber County city of about 11,000 residents perched along the base of Ben Lomond Peak, with a name that reflects its sweeping views of the Wasatch Front and the valley below. First settled around 1850 by John Mower — the area was originally considered part of North Ogden — Pleasant View later gained a following in the late 1800s as home to a natural hot springs resort before growing into the quiet, family-oriented community it is today. The city officially incorporated in 1945 and has since developed a reputation as one of Weber County's most desirable residential areas, prized for its mountain backdrop and small-town feel.
Outdoor recreation is easy to come by here, with the Bonneville Shoreline Trail winding through Pleasant View for hiking, running, and mountain biking, plus Pleasant View City Park offering a gathering spot for local families. The city was once home to a FrontRunner commuter rail station, giving residents a taste of easy regional access before service shifted north to Brigham City. With a median home price near $545,000 and a population that skews young and family-oriented — most households here are married couples — Pleasant View continues to draw buyers looking for space, mountain views, and a close-knit community feel just minutes from Ogden.
Families in Pleasant View are zoned for Orchard Springs Elementary, Orion Junior High, and Weber High School, all part of the Weber School District.
