Homes Under $500,000 in Riverdale, Utah
Riverdale sits in Weber County between Ogden and Roy, tucked against the Weber River and the Riverdale Road commercial strip. That location is the reason homes under $500K move here: you're about 40 minutes from Salt Lake City on I-15 and I-84, close to Hill Air Force Base, and minutes from Ogden's hospitals and Weber State University. Under $500K covers most of the local market, including 1960s to 1980s ramblers, split-levels, and townhomes, plus some newer construction on smaller lots.
Compared with Davis County to the south, Riverdale often gives you more square footage for the money. Many entry-level homes sit in the $350K to $475K range and are served by Weber School District. Expect mature trees, unfinished or partly finished basements, and lots of chances to build equity through updates. Views of the Wasatch Front and quick access to the Ogden River Parkway and Weber River trails are part of everyday life, and winters bring real snow, while summers run hot and dry. Riverdale Road has shopping, dining, and the Riverdale Costco area, so errands are short. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market and which homes fit your budget.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Riverdale.
What kind of home can I realistically get in Riverdale under $500K? ▾
Most homes in this range are 3-4 bedroom ramblers, split-entries, or tri-levels built between 1965 and 1995, usually 1,500-2,200 finished square feet on a quarter-acre or less. Newer construction and townhomes show up occasionally in the upper $400s. Updated kitchens and baths push you toward the top of the range; original-condition homes sit in the high $300s to low $400s.
Does Riverdale really have no city property tax? ▾
Correct — Riverdale is one of the few Utah cities that funds its general operations largely through sales tax from the Riverdale Road retail corridor instead of a municipal property tax levy. You still pay Weber County, Weber School District, and other overlapping taxing entities, but the total effective rate is meaningfully lower than Ogden or Roy at the same assessed value.
Which schools serve homes in this price range? ▾
Riverdale is part of Weber School District. Most homes feed into Riverdale Elementary, then T.H. Bell Junior High in Washington Terrace, and Bonneville High School in Washington Terrace. A small slice of the city on the north side feeds Ogden School District instead, so verify boundaries on any specific address before writing an offer.
How fast do sub-$500K homes move in Riverdale? ▾
Move-in-ready homes priced correctly under $450K typically go under contract within 1-3 weeks, often with multiple offers when rates dip. Homes needing visible work — old roofs, original kitchens, deferred yard maintenance — sit 30-60 days and routinely close 2-5% below list.
Are there HOA or PUD fees to watch for at this price point? ▾
Most single-family homes in Riverdale have no HOA. The exceptions are the townhome and condo developments near Riverdale Road and a few newer pocket subdivisions, where dues typically run $100-$250/month and cover exterior maintenance or shared amenities. Always pull the CC&Rs before going under contract.
Is the area noisy with I-84, I-15, and Hill AFB nearby? ▾
It depends heavily on the street. Homes on the west side near the freeway interchange catch consistent traffic noise, and the whole city occasionally hears F-35 flights out of Hill AFB. Streets east of 700 West and closer to the river are noticeably quieter. Visit any home you're serious about at different times of day before deciding.
