SpringHouse Village is the 55+ neighborhood inside Daybreak, built by OakwoodLife and still selling. Its centerpiece is The Spring House, a residents-only clubhouse of about 10,000 square feet with a pool and spa, a golf simulator, a theater, and a day spa.
It is also the only 55+ community in Salt Lake County with a full-time lifestyle director plus Daybreak’s own LiveDAYBREAK programming. Homes start around $429,990.
Broker's note
If an active social life is the reason you are moving, this is the strongest option on the Wasatch Front. A 10,000 square foot residents-only clubhouse, a full-time lifestyle director, and Daybreak's own LiveDAYBREAK programming on top. Most 55+ communities here rely on whichever residents volunteer, and that works until the volunteers get tired. A paid director is why the calendar keeps running.
Understand the dues before you fall in love. You pay SpringHouse dues of roughly $213 plus the Daybreak master association of about $142.50, so real listings show $357 to $369 a month. That is high for Salt Lake County, and it is not unreasonable given what is included, internet among it, but budget the combined number.
Do not assume single-level. Oakwood builds genuinely thoughtful accessibility, wide halls and zero-entry showers, but the community mixes ramblers with two-story plans. I have seen buyers tour a rambler model and end up under contract on a plan with a second floor.
One caution on your own research: the biggest national directory has this community badly out of date, listing build years of 2017 to 2018 when live sales show homes built in 2022 and 2023, using collection names that no longer exist, and claiming it is gated when nothing in the MLS supports that. Trust the builder and the MLS here.

Is this the right fit?
A good fit if you want
- The most active social calendar in Salt Lake County 55+, with a paid lifestyle director
- A genuinely large clubhouse with a pool, spa, golf simulator, and theater
- Buying new, with the builder still selling and eleven plans available
- Everything Daybreak offers: Oquirrh Lake, thirty-plus miles of trails, SoDa Row
- Prices starting in the $420,000s, which is low for this amenity level
Look elsewhere if
- You want low dues. Combined dues run $357 to $369 a month
- You need guaranteed single-level. The community mixes ramblers with multi-story plans
- You want a small, quiet community. This is a village inside a large master-planned development
- You want a detached home on a large lot
The homes
What "single-level" actually means here
Plenty of 55+ homes advertise main-floor living and still put the laundry in the basement or the second bedroom upstairs. Here is exactly what sits on the entry level.
- Primary suite on the entry level
- Laundry on the entry level
OakwoodLife designs deliberately for aging in place: wide doorways and hallways, zero-entry showers, and minimal steps. But the community mixes single-level ramblers with multi-story plans that put guest rooms upstairs. Ask which collection and plan you are looking at, because the answer differs home to home.
What to ask the builder before drywall goes up
- Grab-bar blocking in the bathroom walls. It costs almost nothing during framing and is expensive to add later. Nobody thinks to ask.
- Interior door clear width. 32 inches is the minimum that stays workable; 36 is better.
- Whether the primary shower could go curbless later, which depends on the slab and drain location.
- Which entry is step-free. A garage on the same level as the house is usually the cheapest one a home has, and it is almost never advertised.

The HOA
$357 to $369 per month, depending on the home
What the dues cover:
- Yard maintenance and snow removal
- The Spring House clubhouse, pool, and spa
- Fitness center, golf simulator, and theater
- Pickleball and bocce courts
- Full-time lifestyle director
- Internet
Two dues stack: roughly $213 for SpringHouse plus about $142.50 for the Daybreak master association. Live listings show a combined $357 to $369 depending on the home. Budget the combined figure.
Who actually runs this HOA
Registered with the Utah Department of Commerce as SpringHouse Village Homeowners Association (registration 14246645-HOA1). The registry also records it as subject to a master association, so expect a second set of dues on top of this one.
The president on file is an Oakwood Homes executive, so the builder still controls the board. Dues set under developer control are commonly revised once homeowners take over.
This is the entity to ask for the budget, the reserve study, and the recorded CC&Rs. I request those for clients as a matter of course.
Two cautions I give every client buying into a newer association
Developer-set dues are introductory. While a builder still controls the association, dues are commonly set low and reserves underfunded, because low dues sell houses. After homeowners take over, boards routinely raise dues and levy assessments to catch up. Ask for the projected turnover date.
Ask for the reserve study, and check its date. Utah law requires a reserve analysis at least every six years, reviewed at least every three, with an annual summary to owners. Under 70 percent funded is a yellow flag. Under 50 percent is a real problem, and the bill arrives as a special assessment after you close.
Who is actually allowed to live here
This is the part that blindsides families, so I would rather over-explain it.
Under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act, a community keeps its senior exemption as long as at least 80 percent of occupied homes have a resident 55 or older. That remaining 20 percent is the cushion associations use to allow a younger spouse, an early-50s buyer, or a surviving partner.
The thing almost nobody knows: HOPA does not, by itself, protect an under-55 surviving spouse. Whether your husband or wife can stay after you are gone depends entirely on the recorded CC&Rs. Some communities include an explicit survivor clause. Some leave it to the board. Some are silent, which is the worst version.
Get these answered in writing before you write an offer
- Can a surviving spouse under 55 remain, and is it written down or left to the board?
- Can an heir under 55 inherit and live in the home, or only rent or sell it?
- How much of the 20 percent cushion is already in use? If the community sits at 19 percent, there is no room left for your spouse. This is obtainable from the association and virtually nobody asks.
- Can a live-in caregiver under 55 stay if one of you needs help?
- How many days per year may a younger guest stay, and does that constrain a summer with the grandchildren?

The question adult children ask that nobody answers
How does an ambulance get in? If a community is gated or has controlled access, ask whether the fire district has a Knox box or gate code on file, and whether the first-due unit carries a paramedic. That detail matters more than the drive time does.
A useful benchmark: Medicare Advantage network adequacy rules set maximum time and distance standards by county type. In large metro counties the primary care standard is 10 minutes or 5 miles.
If you stop driving
The least-discussed risk in active adult housing. Losing the ability to drive roughly doubles the risk of depression symptoms and social isolation, and where a home sits determines how hard that transition is.
- Is there a continuous sidewalk to anything useful, or does every errand require a car?
- What is the walk to a grocery store or pharmacy on the actual sidewalk route?
- Is the address inside a UTA paratransit service area? ADA paratransit generally covers within three quarters of a mile of a fixed route.
- Does a county senior transport or volunteer ride program serve this address?
Safety in South Jordan
Based on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data, South Jordan reports roughly 1.8 violent crimes and 10 property crimes per 1,000 residents per year, both below the national average. As in most of the valley, property crime makes up the large majority of incidents.
These are citywide figures from FBI Uniform Crime Reporting for 2024, the latest full year available. They describe South Jordan as a whole rather than this community, and reported totals shift year to year. Treat them as general background on the area, not as a rating of this neighborhood.
What it really costs each month
The sticker price is the least interesting number. What matters is the monthly nut, and how it compares to what you are paying now.
Starting here, roughly
—/mo
Based on this community's entry price of $429,990 and dues of $357, with (July 30, 2026 average), plus a typical Utah effective property tax rate and insurance. Utilities are not included.
Run your own numbers (opens in a new tab)These payment figures are an estimate for budgeting and planning only. They are not a mortgage quote, a loan offer, or a commitment to lend. Your actual rate and payment depend on your credit, loan program, and current market rates. Talk to a licensed mortgage professional for real numbers. Connect with our preferred Utah lender.
* Based on what the community and builder publish about the dues, which I have looked up rather than assumed. It is not confirmed against the association's own budget and governing documents, and exactly what is covered can differ by phase, by home type, and over time. I pull the current budget and CC&Rs for clients before they write an offer.
This is the honest case for a 55+ community, and it is the one most people get wrong. The HOA fee is not purely an added cost. It replaces line items you already pay on a larger home, in cash or in your own labor. When someone tells me downsizing does not pencil, we usually find they compared the mortgage and the dues and left out the lawn service, the snow, and the roof they will need in six years.
Typical utilities
Rough monthly ranges for a home this size in South Jordan. Utilities are the line item people most often forget to compare, and they are usually where a smaller home wins.
Estimates only, and they vary a lot. A townhome, a condo, and a detached single-family home of the same square footage can run very differently, and so can two neighbors in identical homes depending on thermostat habits, occupancy, and whether the yard is irrigated. Treat these as a starting point, then ask for the actual bills on a specific address.
For the son or daughter reading this
If you are researching on behalf of a parent, you are asking different questions than they are, and both sets are legitimate.
Some perspective, honestly offered: hands-on help from an adult child drops off sharply with distance. Weekly help hours fall from roughly three when you live on the same block to about one at two to five miles away, and keep falling from there. If you are weighing communities, distance from you matters more than most families treat it.
What to check here
How far it is from you. Whether the community is gated and how emergency services get in. Cell signal for a medical alert device. Broadband for telehealth. Whether an under-55 caregiver may live in. Whether the architectural committee permits a ramp or grab bars. And the overnight guest limit, which is the rule that quietly prevents you from staying a week to help.
What this community is, and what it is not
An active adult community is real estate, not care. There is no staff, no nurses, no meals, and no call system. If your parent needs help with bathing, dressing, or medication, that is assisted living, which is a different product entirely. Buying here because it sounds like a safer version of a house is the most expensive mistake families make.
Also worth knowing before you plan around it: Medicare does not pay for custodial help with bathing, dressing, meals, or housekeeping. It covers skilled, intermittent home health only. That gap is what actually forces the next move, and it catches families by surprise.
If you are coordinating with siblings
Agree among yourselves before anyone talks to your parents. The fastest way to derail this is one sibling feeling blindsided, and a parent who senses a united front they were not part of will dig in harder.
Decide early who is the point of contact, who handles the money conversation, and who is simply there for support. If the house eventually sells, the proceeds question tends to surface old family dynamics. Naming that in advance costs nothing and prevents a lot.
Paperwork worth locating now, not later
The deed, the mortgage payoff, a recent tax notice, and the HOA documents if there are any. If a parent may not be able to sign for themselves at some point, the power of attorney or trust paperwork matters enormously and is miserable to sort out under time pressure.
If the move is tied to care costs, talk to an elder law attorney and a CPA before anything sells. I am a broker, not a tax or legal advisor, but I work with families in this spot often and can point you to people who handle it properly.
The most common mistake is leading with logic. Parents who feel managed dig in. The families I see succeed start with what would make the next few years easier and more enjoyable, and let the house question follow.
I am glad to walk a community with the whole family at once and give the same honest read to everybody in the room. That is most of what I do.
Other 55+ communities to compare
Worth a look before you decide. I would rather you tour two or three than fall for the first one you see.

Frequently asked questions
-
What are the HOA dues at SpringHouse Village at Daybreak?
Two dues stack here. SpringHouse village dues run about $213 per month and the Daybreak master association adds about $142.50, so live listings show a combined $357 to $369 depending on the home. That covers yard maintenance, snow removal, the Spring House clubhouse, pool and spa, fitness center, golf simulator, theater, pickleball, a full-time lifestyle director, and internet. Budget the combined figure.
-
Is there a pool at SpringHouse Village?
Yes. The Spring House is a residents-only amenity center of about 10,000 square feet with an outdoor pool and spa, a fitness center and movement studio, a golf simulator, a theater room, a yoga studio, a day spa and salon, game rooms, a demonstration kitchen, and a library. Outside there are pickleball and bocce courts, a fire pit, and a community garden.
-
Are the homes at SpringHouse Village single-level?
Some are, and some are not. OakwoodLife designs for aging in place with wide doorways and hallways and zero-entry showers, but the community mixes single-level ramblers with multi-story plans that place guest rooms upstairs. Confirm the specific plan rather than assuming from the model you toured.
-
Can I still buy new at SpringHouse Village?
Yes. OakwoodLife is still selling, with eleven plans across two collections currently priced. The Floret collection starts around $429,990 for about 1,161 square feet, and the Luminary collection runs to about $609,990 for roughly 2,463 square feet. Resale homes trade alongside new construction.
-
Does SpringHouse Village have an activity director?
Yes, a full-time lifestyle director who curates classes, activities, and social events, plus Daybreak-wide LiveDAYBREAK programming on top. That combination makes it the most staffed social calendar among 55+ communities in Salt Lake County, and it is the main reason to choose it over a smaller community with lower dues.
-
Is SpringHouse Village age-restricted or age-qualified?
It operates under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act standard, which requires at least 80 percent of occupied homes to have a resident 55 or older. That leaves room for a younger spouse or an early-50s buyer in some cases. As always, the recorded CC&Rs control, so read the occupancy section carefully if anyone in your household is under 55.
