• Builder: Marquee Homes

Watch the video for the full walkthrough, then use this guide to decide if it fits your family, your budget, and your timeline.

Why a 6-Bedroom Layout Matters

Six full bedrooms let you give every child a room, keep a dedicated guest room, and still have space for an office or gym. Few new builds at this price offer that much flexibility.

Most new construction in Northern Utah tops out at three to five bedrooms near this price point. Six full bedrooms is a different level of breathing room.

Here's how families typically use that space:

• Kids' rooms: No more bunking up or arguing over who shares.
• Guest suite: Visiting grandparents get their own room, not the couch.
• Home office: Great if you or your spouse works remotely or teleworks.
• Workout room or hobby space: Turn one bedroom into a gym or craft room.

For military families, the extra rooms also help with resale or rental later. A large home near a brand-new high school tends to attract strong interest from the next family.

Custom Wood Beam Ceilings Set This Home Apart

The custom wood beam ceilings are the design detail that makes this home feel custom instead of cookie-cutter. They add warmth, texture, and a mountain-modern look that buyers remember.

A lot of new builds look alike once you step inside. Custom wood beam ceilings change that right away.

Beams draw your eye up and make the main living area feel bigger and more intentional. They also pair well with the Northern Utah mountain-modern style that so many buyers love.

Pay attention to the beams in the video. Notice how they frame the living space and connect the main floor's design. It's the kind of feature that's expensive to add later, so getting it built in is a real value.

A Fully Finished Basement Adds Real Living Space

A fully finished basement means you move in with usable space from day one. You skip the cost, permits, and months of work it takes to finish a basement yourself.

Many new homes in Utah come with an unfinished basement. That looks cheaper on paper, but finishing one later can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take months.

With this home, the basement is already finished. That gives you:

• A second living area for teens, movie nights, or game days
• Extra bedrooms away from the main floor
• Flexible space that grows with your family

For a PCS move on a tight timeline, a move-in-ready basement is a big deal. You can unpack and settle in instead of hiring contractors.

The 0.32-Acre Lot: Room to Spread Out

At 0.32 acres, this lot is larger than many new-construction lots in Weber and Davis counties. It gives you room for a garden, a play set, pets, and outdoor entertaining.

New subdivisions often squeeze homes onto small lots. A 0.32-acre lot gives you noticeably more yard.

That extra space matters if you have:

• Dogs that need room to run
• Kids who want a trampoline or swing set
• Plans for a garden, patio, or fire pit
• Interest in parking a trailer or toys (always check HOA and city rules first)

Taylor still has a more open, semi-rural feel than the busier cities to the east. A larger lot fits that lifestyle well.

Living Next to West Field High School and the 33-Acre Taylor Park

This home sits directly by the new West Field High School and the upcoming 33-acre Taylor Park. That puts school, sports, and outdoor recreation within an easy walk or short drive.

Location is the biggest reason this home stands out. It's right by West Field High School, a new school in the Weber School District serving the growing west side of the county.

It's also near the planned 33-acre Taylor Park. A park that size typically brings open fields, trails, and space for youth sports and family events.

For families with teens, being close to the high school means shorter mornings and easier access to games, clubs, and practices. You can confirm school boundaries directly with the Weber School District, since boundaries can change as new schools open.

Is This Taylor Home a Good Fit for a PCS to Hill AFB?

Yes, for many families. Taylor is in western Weber County, within a reasonable commute of Hill AFB, and this home offers the space, new construction, and nearby amenities military families often want.

If you're PCSing to Hill Air Force Base, you're likely juggling a report date, a housing budget, and school decisions all at once. This home checks several boxes at once.

• Space for big families: 6 bedrooms and a finished basement.
• New construction: Fewer surprise repairs during your tour.
• Schools nearby: West Field High School is right next door.
• Resale appeal: New homes near new schools and parks tend to hold interest when it's time to PCS again.

Commute times to base depend on your gate and the time of day, so drive the route before you commit. You can learn more about the base itself at the official Hill Air Force Base website.

Can You Buy This Home With a VA Loan?

Many eligible service members and veterans can use a VA loan for a home like this. VA loans often allow zero down payment and no private mortgage insurance, which helps a lot at this price.

At $638,900, financing strategy matters. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, VA-backed home loans can offer benefits like no down payment for eligible buyers and no private mortgage insurance.

Here's a quick checklist before you write an offer:

1. Get your Certificate of Eligibility (COE).
2. Get pre-approved with a lender experienced in VA loans.
3. Ask about your BAH and how it fits your monthly payment.
4. Ask the builder about any incentives for using their preferred lender.

New construction can sometimes include builder incentives. It's always worth asking what's on the table.

How Taylor Compares to Nearby Weber County Areas

Taylor offers newer homes and bigger lots than many established Weber County neighborhoods. It trades some walkable shopping for more space and a quieter, growing community feel.

Taylor sits in western Weber County near communities like West Haven and Plain City. Here's a simple way to compare your options:

Tips for Touring a New Construction Home

Bring your own agent, ask what's standard versus upgraded, request the warranty details, and schedule an independent inspection. New doesn't always mean perfect.

New construction feels simple, but a few smart moves protect you.

• Bring your own agent on the first visit. The builder's sales rep works for the builder, not you.
• Ask what's included. Confirm the wood beams, finishes, and basement are part of the listed price.
• Review the warranty. Know what's covered and for how long.
• Get an inspection. An independent inspector can catch issues before closing.
• Check HOA rules. Look at fencing, parking, and landscaping requirements.

If you can't tour in person, a live video walkthrough with your agent is the next best thing.

How Builder Incentives Can Lower Your Interest Rate

Builders like Marquee Homes often offer incentives you can put toward a rate buydown or closing costs. On a $638,900 home, even a small rate drop can save you real money every month.

One of the biggest perks of buying new construction is builder incentives. Instead of cutting the price, many builders offer money you can use at closing. On this $638,900 Marquee Homes build in Taylor, that money could go toward lowering your interest rate.

Here is how buyers commonly use incentive dollars:

• Permanent rate buydown: You pay points up front to lock a lower rate for the life of the loan.
• Temporary buydown (like a 2-1): Your rate starts lower for the first year or two, then steps up. This helps if you expect your income to rise.
• Closing cost credit: Covers lender fees, title, and prepaid items so you bring less cash to closing.

Which option wins depends on how long you plan to keep the home. If you expect to PCS again in three years, a big permanent buydown may not pay off. If you plan to stay or rent it out later, a lower permanent rate can be worth a lot. Incentives change often and usually require using the builder's preferred lender, so always compare that lender's offer against at least one outside quote.

The Chef's Kitchen, Walk-In Pantry, and Mudroom in Daily Life

The kitchen pairs an LG gas range with a walk-in pantry and a mudroom off the 3-car garage. Together they make groceries, school mornings, and snowy boots much easier to manage.

A big family needs a kitchen that can keep up. This home's custom chef's kitchen centers on an LG gas range, which gives you fast, even heat for weeknight dinners and holiday cooking. It opens to the great room with its custom fireplace and wood beams, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation.

The real everyday win is the layout around the kitchen:

• Walk-in pantry: Room for bulk buys from the commissary or Costco, small appliances, and snack bins kids can reach.
• Mudroom: A drop zone for backpacks, coats, and boots before they hit your clean floors.
• Garage access: You can carry groceries straight from the car to the pantry without crossing the house.

In Northern Utah, a mudroom is not a luxury. Winter brings snow, slush, and wet gear for months. Having one spot to hang coats and dry boots keeps the rest of the home cleaner. If you have six bedrooms full of people, that matters every single day.

When you tour, open the pantry and picture your actual food storage. Check the outlets near the counters and ask whether the range has a vented hood to the outside.

Why a 3-Car Garage Matters in a Weber County Winter

A 3-car garage lets you park two vehicles inside and still keep a bay for gear, tools, or a third car. In Weber County winters, that means no scraping ice before the drive to base.

The video calls this garage winter ready, and that is a fair description. Northern Utah gets real snow. Parking inside means you skip scraping windshields at 6 a.m. before heading to the Hill AFB South Gate, about 19 minutes away.

Military and outdoor families tend to have a lot of gear. A third bay gives you space for:

• Skis and snowboards for trips to Snowbasin, about 37 minutes away
• Bikes, camping gear, and a small trailer
• A workbench or home gym
• A teen driver's first car

Many Taylor homes offer two-car garages, so a third bay adds flexibility and can help at resale. It also keeps your 0.32-acre backyard free of sheds and clutter.

On your walkthrough, check the garage door openers, look for outlets on each wall, and ask about insulation. If you plan to add an EV charger later, ask the builder about the electrical panel's capacity now. That is far cheaper to plan before you move in.

The Tankless Water Heater and What to Inspect Before Closing

This home has a tankless water heater, which gives endless hot water and saves space. Even on new construction, hire an independent inspector and check the utility room, grading, and finish work before closing.

The utility room tour shows a tankless water heater. Instead of heating a big tank all day, it heats water as you use it. For a six-bedroom home with a deep soaking tub in the primary suite, that means fewer cold showers when everyone gets ready at once.

New does not mean perfect. Builders work fast, and small misses happen. We recommend a phase or final inspection by an independent inspector, not just the city's code inspection. Here is a short checklist:

• Utility room: Water heater venting, furnace filter access, and any signs of leaks.
• Grading and drainage: Soil should slope away from the foundation, which matters a lot with a finished basement.
• Upstairs laundry: Look for a drain pan under the washer to protect ceilings below.
• Finish work: Paint, trim, cabinet doors, and the wood beam installs.
• Windows and doors: Smooth operation and good seals before winter.

Ask the builder for the warranty details in writing and note who to call for repairs. Most tankless units need a yearly flush, especially with hard water, so add that to your maintenance calendar.

A Realistic Move-In Timeline for This Taylor Home

A completed new build like this one can often close in about 30 to 45 days with a VA or conventional loan. Plan your PCS orders, house hunting trip, and household goods delivery around that window.

Timing is everything when you have orders in hand. Because this is a finished new build, you are not waiting months for framing and drywall. That makes it a strong fit for families on a tight PCS schedule.

Here is a typical path from offer to keys:

1. Week 1: Get pre-approved, tour in person or by video, and write your offer with any builder incentives spelled out.
2. Weeks 1-2: Submit loan documents and schedule your independent inspection.
3. Weeks 2-4: Appraisal (including the VA appraisal if you use VA financing) and underwriting.
4. Weeks 4-6: Final walkthrough, sign, and get your keys.

Many military buyers close remotely using a power of attorney or mobile signing. Learn more about your loan options on the VA home loans page, and use our PCS relocation guide for Hill AFB to line up base housing office check-in, schools, and utilities.

If this home sells before your orders arrive, you can still browse current listings or explore nearby West Haven homes and the wider Weber County area.
