Homes with Casitas & Guest Houses in Hooper, Utah
Hooper sits on the western edge of Weber County, where lot sizes still measure in acres instead of square feet and properties run right up to the Great Salt Lake wetlands. That elbow room is exactly why casitas and detached guest houses are more common here than in tighter Davis or Weber County markets — when you have a half-acre to five-acre parcel, adding a second dwelling for extended family, a returning adult child, or rental income actually pencils out. Many of the homes you'll see on this page were built in the last two decades along 5500 South, 5900 West, and the streets feeding into West Haven, with attached mother-in-law suites over oversized garages or fully separate cottages set back behind the main house.
Buyers gravitating toward Hooper for multi-generational living tend to like the commute math: roughly 15 minutes to Hill Air Force Base, 25 to downtown Ogden, and about 45 to Salt Lake City via I-15 or Legacy Parkway. The agricultural zoning across much of Hooper City also tends to be friendlier to accessory dwellings than the R-1 lots in neighboring cities, though setbacks and septic capacity still matter. Price points on homes with a true second living space typically run a meaningful step above comparable single-residence homes in the area, reflecting both the extra square footage and the rental potential. Browse the active listings below to see which Hooper properties currently include a casita, guest house, or attached suite.

Common questions
About homes with casitas & guest houses in Hooper.
Does Hooper City allow short-term rentals in a casita or guest house? ▾
Hooper City generally restricts short-term rentals (under 30 days) in residential zones, but long-term rentals to family members or month-plus tenants are typically allowed in a permitted accessory dwelling. Rules vary by zone and by whether the second unit is attached or detached, so confirm with Hooper City planning before counting on rental income.
What's the difference between a casita, a guest house, and an ADU in the listings I'm seeing? ▾
In Hooper MLS listings, "casita" usually means an attached suite with its own entrance — common over a garage or off a courtyard. "Guest house" almost always means a fully detached structure with kitchen, bath, and bedroom. Both fall under Utah's ADU (accessory dwelling unit) rules, but detached units face stricter setback, septic, and square-footage requirements.
Are these properties on septic or city sewer? ▾
Most larger-lot Hooper properties west of 4700 West are on septic, which directly affects whether a second dwelling is permitted — the system has to be sized for the additional bedrooms. Homes closer to the West Haven border are more likely to have sewer access. The listing details and seller disclosures will spell out which system serves both structures.
What kind of price premium should I expect for a home with a guest house in Hooper? ▾
A detached guest house typically adds somewhere in the range of $80,000 to $200,000 over a comparable single-dwelling home in Hooper, depending on the size, finish level, and whether it has a full kitchen. Attached casitas add less but still command a noticeable premium because they're rare and hard to add after the fact.
Can I get a standard mortgage on a Hooper property with a second dwelling? ▾
Yes, conventional, FHA, and VA loans all finance single-family homes with an ADU as long as the property is zoned and recorded as single-family. If projected rent from the casita helps you qualify, FHA and some conventional programs will count a portion of it. A multi-unit loan only comes into play if the property is legally a duplex, which is uncommon in Hooper.
How many homes with casitas or guest houses are usually for sale in Hooper at one time? ▾
Hooper is a small market — typically only a handful of homes with a true second living space are active at any given moment, and they tend to move quickly when priced reasonably. Setting up a saved search is the most practical way to catch new listings the day they hit the MLS.
