Neighborhood Reviews & Questions
Sunrise is an East Davis residential neighborhood near the Slide Hill Park area, the kind of settled interior pocket that organizes itself around a central green and the greenbelt rather than a commercial street. The name traces back to the old Sunrise Farm and the Simmons family who worked this part of the valley. It runs on East Davis basics: off-street bike paths, recreation at the nearby park, and short trips to the Pole Line and Covell retail and local schools. Homes are mostly older single-family on regular lots. The honest read is that Sunrise is a quiet, low-key neighborhood whose appeal is its calm and its park access, with the usual East Davis arterial traffic kept to the edges. It is steady rather than showy.
