Homes Under $500,000 in Farr West, Utah
Farr West sits in Weber County just northwest of Ogden, a few minutes off I-15 and about 45 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City. It's grown fast over the last decade as young families and first-time buyers priced out of Ogden and North Ogden look for newer construction on bigger lots without the drive to the far side of the valley. Under $500K here still buys a lot of house — think three- and four-bedroom homes built in the last fifteen years, many on a third of an acre or more, in subdivisions like Bybee Farms and the newer developments off 1900 North. That's a different market than Ogden proper, where inventory under $500K skews older and smaller.
This price range is the sweet spot for Farr West: it covers most of the entry-level and mid-tier new construction that's defined the city's growth, plus a handful of older rambler-style homes on acreage closer to the Weber River bottoms. Weber School District boundaries, proximity to Hill Air Force Base (a major employer for the area), and easy access to Highway 89 make this a practical commuter location rather than a resort town, which is exactly why prices have stayed more reasonable than Ogden Valley or Davis County. Buyers priced out of $500K homes in Kaysville or Layton are increasingly landing here instead. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Farr West.
What kind of home can I actually get in Farr West under $500K? ▾
At this price point in Farr West, buyers are typically looking at 3-4 bedroom single-family homes built in the 1990s through 2010s, often on quarter-acre to half-acre lots. Some newer townhomes and smaller-footprint builds also fall under the cap. Larger lots with outbuildings or shop space usually push past $500K, though deals surface a few times a year.
Is $500K considered entry-level or mid-range in Farr West? ▾
It sits right around the median for Weber County's west-side communities. Farr West tends to run a bit higher than Plain City or West Haven because of lot sizes and the semi-rural feel, so under $500K is realistically the mid-range bracket here rather than entry-level.
How long do sub-$500K listings usually stay on the market? ▾
Well-priced homes under $500K in Farr West move faster than the upper-end inventory — often within 2-4 weeks when priced correctly. Anything sitting longer than 60 days typically has a condition issue, an awkward floor plan, or needs a price adjustment.
What are the property tax and HOA expectations at this price? ▾
Weber County property tax runs roughly 0.6-0.7% of assessed value annually, so budget around $2,500-$3,200 a year on a $500K home. Most Farr West neighborhoods have no HOA, though a few newer subdivisions off 2000 West carry modest dues for shared landscaping.
Which schools serve homes in this price range? ▾
Farr West falls under Weber School District. Most homes feed into Farr West Elementary, Wahlquist Junior High, and Fremont High School. Boundaries are worth confirming on any specific listing since the district occasionally adjusts them as new builds come online.
Are USDA loans an option in Farr West? ▾
Parts of Farr West still qualify for USDA Rural Development loans, which allow 0% down for eligible buyers. The eligibility map shifts periodically, so it's worth checking the specific address before assuming a home qualifies. This can be a real advantage at the under-$500K level.
