This fast-growing community has already earned national recognition, taking the National Association of Home Builders’ Best in American Living Community of the Year Award in 2010 and helping South Jordan rank in the top 25 of Money magazine’s Best Places to Live in 2012.

South Jordan jobs
The Daybreak master plan was designed to include over 14 million square feet of commercial building space, including shops, offices, restaurants and a pedestrian-friendly town center. In addition to any jobs these facilities may create, South Jordan is home to the Rio Tinto mining company, eBay and a variety of other employers just a short commute away.
Daybreak schools
Daybreak offers two public charter elementary and middle schools and one public school. Other middle and high schools are located just minutes away. Rio Tinto donated the land and resources for the elementary schools and supports programs for their employees to volunteer at the schools. 88% of elementary students in Daybreak walk to school on neighborhood walking trails, compared to 13% nationally. Perhaps not coincidentally, Daybreak’s South Jordan school district ranks 12th in Utah on Trulia’s list of Most Attractive School Districts.
