The corridor Pleasant View
The freeway ramp, two trunk roads and the rail line on the city's west edge
The US-89 corridor in Pleasant View, and the trade a home near it makes
Along its west and northwest edge, Pleasant View runs a working corridor: Interstate 15 at Exit 349, US-89, a freight mainline and a utility line, all inside a few hundred yards. A home near it keeps shopping and the freeway ramp close and trades quiet for the rail and the highway. Getting out of town is a car on one of two roads. No passenger train has stopped here since 2018, and no bus route could be confirmed.

The short answer
Getting out of Pleasant View is a car on one of two roads. The city meets Interstate 15 at Exit 349, signed Farr West / Pleasant View with the neighbor's name first, and the exit feeds SR-134, which is 2700 North, across the bottom of town. US-89 crosses the northwest corner toward the junction the state still calls Hot Springs Junction. A freight mainline and a dormant commuter line run the west edge, and no passenger train stops: service north of Ogden ended in 2018 and the nearest platform is Ogden Central, about six miles south. No bus route serving the city could be confirmed. A home near the corridor keeps shopping and the ramp close and trades quiet for freight rail and highway noise; a home up on the east bench sits away from all of it and adds a few minutes to every trip.

Getting out
Getting out of town is a car on one of two roads
By car, and the road map is clear about why. Interstate 15 Exit 349 is the freeway door, and it is signed Farr West / Pleasant View, the neighbor first. A city of about eleven thousand shares its interchange with a smaller neighbor and does not get its name first on the sign. It is a small thing, and worth knowing before a first visit, because the maps and the road signs will both say Farr West before they say Pleasant View.
The exit meets SR-134, which is 2700 North, the state route across the bottom of town. It runs from Kanesville and Plain City on the west, past Pleasant View, and east to Washington Boulevard in the next city, so it is a shared road rather than a Pleasant View one. The other trunk is US-89, across the northwest corner, running toward the junction the state names Hot Springs Junction at Interstate 15 Exit 351, signed Willard. Those springs are a subject of their own.
What there is not is a scheduled ride. The rails run the west edge and the trains stop six miles south. No bus route serving Pleasant View could be confirmed, and a route description still in circulation names a station that closed in 2018. So the honest answer to the morning question is a car on one of two roads to a ramp with someone else's name on it. For a household headed to the county's single largest job site, Hill Air Force Base sits down in Davis County, and reaching it from here is a road question, not a Pleasant View one.
Do not plan an address here around a bus route number you found online, because nothing published confirmed one. Route numbers circulate for the city, and at least one names a Pleasant View station that closed in 2018, which makes it stale rather than merely unverified. If transit matters to your household, confirm current service directly with UTA before an offer, and treat every route number you find elsewhere as unconfirmed until you have.
Near the corridor
What a home near the corridor trades, and what it gets
The west and northwest edge of Pleasant View is where everything runs at once. Inside a few hundred yards you have Interstate 15, US-89, a Union Pacific freight mainline, the dormant commuter alignment beside it, a utility corridor, and the city's working ground. The city's own About page calls this its land for commercial and industrial growth. So a home on the west side sits close to the ramp, close to the stores, and close to the rail and the highway that make the ramp worth having.
The trade is noise and a working edge for that access. A freight line runs on its own schedule, day and night. A highway and an interstate carry steady traffic. What that sounds and feels like at a specific address is a standing-on-the-ground question at different hours, not a page question. The state's geologists note that the old hot springs still flow under the railroad, which is the one image that ties the rail, the highway, the utility line and the county line together on this edge.
Move east and the trade flips. The city climbs about a thousand feet from its valley floor to the bench, so an upper-bench address on the east side sits away from the corridor, higher, quieter, and a few minutes farther from the ramp at the start and end of every trip. The vantage page sets out that climb. Between the two edges is the ordinary middle of town, near neither the corridor nor the mountain.
There is more work on this ground than a mostly residential town suggests. The state labor report's 2023 county figures put average employment in Pleasant View at 2,862, of which manufacturing accounts for 853, on the corridor most descriptions never mention. Those figures suppress individual firms, and no public body names a single employer here, so any company list you find for the city has been pulled from directories rather than reported. The same corridor is where the city expects to grow, which is the ground the water and build-out page takes up.

The roads
The roads, and the one famous name with no record behind it
UDOT publishes route descriptions for Pleasant View's main streets, which is why a few of them can be pinned down and one well-known name cannot. The streets that carry a UDOT route are Pleasant View Drive, which runs from US-89 east to 400 East; Elberta Drive, which UDOT also calls 3300 North; 1000 West; and 2550 North, which runs east to SR-235. The city is written both by name and by number, so Elberta Drive is 3300 North and Weber High Drive is 3500 North, and an address search that assumes one system will miss half of town.
One record, covering 500 West, Weber High Drive and 3100 North on the upper bench, carries the words portion unconstructed. A road on paper that has not been built on the ground is a planning line, not a driving instruction, and a reminder that the bench above the city is still filling in. Road maps and route status change, so confirm any bench street with UDOT or the city's own road map before you rely on it.
One well-known name for the city, Skyline Drive, appears in no UDOT route record for Pleasant View. It shows up instead in UDOT's directions to a trailhead in Ogden, several miles south. If you see it on a listing for this city, treat it as a reason to check the city's road map rather than a confirmed street here. The sourced bench route runs on Weber High Drive, which is 3500 North, and on 3100 North.
The freeway ramp
Before you go
A few things to know before you drive it
None of this is a reason for or against the city. It is the set of small facts that make a first drive make sense, and that are easy to get wrong from a listing.
- The exit is signed for the neighbor, so maps and road signs say Farr West before Pleasant View.
- The city is written by name and by number at once; Elberta Drive is also 3300 North, and Weber High Drive is also 3500 North.
- Skyline Drive has no UDOT route record here; the sourced names are Pleasant View Drive, Elberta Drive, 2700 North and 1000 West.
- The freeway is reached west and south, not east; everything on the east side climbs toward the mountain and stops.
- Nothing scheduled stops in the city; confirm current bus service with UTA and current road status with UDOT before an offer.
- Drive the route from the address to wherever you actually go, at the hour you actually go, once in winter and once in summer.
A city of about eleven thousand with a freeway exit that carries its neighbor's name first, a freight mainline with no train that stops, and no confirmed bus at all.
Quick answers
The corridor, answered
Exit 349, and UDOT signs it Farr West / Pleasant View, with the neighbor's name first. The exit meets SR-134, which is 2700 North, running across the bottom of town about 2.5 miles southwest of the city offices. One quirk in UDOT's file: a couple of ramp records print SR-134 as 2700 West instead of 2700 North, which is a typo in the data rather than a second road.
It is 2700 North, the state route across the bottom of town. UDOT's route runs from Kanesville to Plain City, then east to North Ogden, so the road that links the west-side farm towns to the freeway is the same one that carries traffic east to Washington Boulevard in the next city. It is Pleasant View's one east-west trunk, and it serves several towns rather than this one alone.
No. The rails are there and no passenger train uses them. A Union Pacific freight mainline and a dormant commuter rail alignment both run the west edge of the city, but service north of Ogden was suspended in 2018 and the Pleasant View station closed with it. The nearest active platform is Ogden Central, about six miles south. Confirm current service with UTA.
No route serving the city could be confirmed. Route numbers circulate online, and at least one names a Pleasant View station that closed in 2018, which makes it stale rather than merely unverified. If transit matters to you, check current routes directly with UTA before an offer, and treat any number you find elsewhere as unconfirmed until you do.
It is a trade. A home near the west and northwest edge keeps shopping and the I-15 ramp close, because that edge is where the freeway, US-89, a freight mainline and the utility corridor all run together. In return it sits near freight-rail and highway noise that runs on its own schedule. A home on the east bench is away from the corridor, higher and quieter, and a few minutes farther from the ramp. The way to judge it is to stand at the address at different hours.
The safe names, each with a UDOT route record, are Pleasant View Drive, Elberta Drive (also 3300 North), 1000 West, and 2550 North. Weber High Drive, which is 3500 North, carries the bench route along with 3100 North, and part of that record is marked unconstructed. Skyline Drive, a name in wide circulation for the city, has no UDOT route record here, so check the city's road map before relying on it.
About 2,862, by the state labor report's 2023 county figures, of which manufacturing accounts for 853. That is the only community-level employment count published for the city. The figures suppress individual firms, so the sectors do not sum to the total, and no employer is named. Any company list you find for the city has been pulled from directories, not reported by a public body.
The only published answer is a distribution, not an average. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024 counts 4,413 city workers who do not work from home, of whom 618 report a trip of 45 to 59 minutes and 189 report an hour or more. Those are the long tails. Every door-to-door drive time you see for the city is figured from a map, so drive the real route at the real hour before an offer.
The junction of US-89 and SR-126 north of Pleasant View, at Interstate 15 Exit 351, signed Willard. The name is UDOT's own: its SR-126 route ends at Route 89 at Hot Springs Junction. The springs behind the name sit on the Box Elder and Weber county line at the top of the city; the resort that stood there was torn down about 1970, and there is no public access. A state agency still using the name is the clearest sign of how deep it runs on this corridor.
The corridor is the page to read before an offer here
It is the only one about something that happens every morning. A west-side home sits near the ramp, the stores and the rail corridor; an east-bench home sits higher and quieter and adds minutes to every trip. Nothing scheduled stops in the city, the freeway exit carries the neighbor's name first, and no bus route could be confirmed with UTA. The free test is to drive the actual route at the actual hour, once in winter and once in summer.
