Homes Under $300,000 in South Ogden, Utah
South Ogden sits on the bench between Ogden proper and Riverdale, with the Wasatch rising directly east and quick access to I-15, I-84, and Hill Air Force Base about 15 minutes south. Homes priced under $300,000 here are mostly older single-level ramblers, split-entries from the 60s and 70s, and a handful of condos and townhomes along Adams Avenue and near 40th Street. Buyers shopping this price point are usually first-time owners, Hill AFB personnel, WSU staff or grad students, and investors looking for rentals near Weber State and McKay-Dee Hospital — both major local employers within a five-minute drive of most South Ogden neighborhoods.
Expect square footage in the 1,000-1,600 range above grade, with many homes offering an unfinished basement that adds long-term equity potential. Yards tend to be modest but usable, and mature trees are the norm on streets west of Harrison Boulevard. The trade-off at this price is almost always age and updates: original kitchens, single-pane windows, and older HVAC systems are common, so build inspection costs into your budget. Winters bring real snow on the bench and summers run hot and dry, so furnace age and AC condition matter.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in South Ogden.
What kind of homes can I actually get under $300K in South Ogden? ▾
At this price point you're mostly looking at 2-3 bedroom condos and townhomes, smaller ranch homes built between 1950 and 1980, or manufactured homes on owned land. Detached single-family under $300K usually means around 1,000-1,300 sq ft with one bathroom and some deferred maintenance. Move-in ready detached homes at this price are rare and tend to sell within a week.
Are there many condos and townhomes in South Ogden under $300K? ▾
Yes — attached product is where most of the inventory under $300K shows up. Communities along Adams Avenue, 40th Street, and near the Mount Ogden golf course area regularly have 2-bed units listed in the $220K-$290K range. Expect HOA fees of roughly $150-$300/month covering exterior maintenance, water, and sometimes trash.
Do FHA and VA loans work well in this price range? ▾
Both are common here. FHA's 2024 single-family loan limit for Weber County is well above $300K, so financing isn't the constraint — condition is. Older homes may need lender-required repairs (peeling paint, roof life, handrails), so build a small repair budget into your offer and ask your agent to flag obvious red flags before you write.
What are property taxes like on a $275K home in South Ogden? ▾
If it's your primary residence, expect roughly $1,400-$1,700 per year after the 45% residential exemption. Non-owner-occupied (rentals) pay nearly double on the same assessed value, which is worth running through your numbers if you're buying as an investor.
Is South Ogden a good area for a rental investment under $300K? ▾
It can work. Proximity to Weber State, McKay-Dee Hospital, and Hill Air Force Base (about 15 minutes south) keeps demand steady for 2-3 bedroom rentals. Gross rents in the area typically run $1,500-$1,900 for a small house or townhome, so cash flow is tight at today's rates but achievable with 20-25% down.
How fast do homes under $300K go under contract here? ▾
Move-in ready listings under $300K usually see offers within 3-10 days, and multiple offers are still common on anything updated. Fixers and dated properties sit a bit longer — two to four weeks — which is where patient buyers can sometimes negotiate price or closing cost help.
