Homes Under $500,000 in South Ogden, Utah
South Ogden sits on the bench just south of downtown Ogden, with quick access to I-15, I-84, and the 21st Street and 30th Street exits that get you to Hill Air Force Base in under 15 minutes. Under $500K is still a workable budget here, which is part of why the city draws a steady mix of Hill AFB families, IHC Ogden Regional staff, Weber State commuters, and Wasatch Front buyers priced out of Davis County. Expect to see a healthy share of 1960s–1980s brick ramblers and split-entries in established neighborhoods like Burch Creek, Friendly Hills, and the area around Nob Hill, plus a smaller pool of newer builds and townhomes near 40th Street and Skyline Drive.
What you get for the money depends on the street. Homes in the $350K–$425K range tend to be 3-bed ramblers on a quarter-acre, often with original kitchens but solid bones and mature trees. Push toward $450K–$500K and you'll see updated kitchens, finished basements, two-car garages, and in some pockets, west-facing views over the Ogden Valley or east-facing views of Mount Ogden. Weber School District serves most addresses, with Burch Creek Elementary and Bonneville High among the well-regarded options. Property taxes run lower than Davis County neighbors, and winter snow load is manageable compared to Eden or Huntsville up the canyon.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in South Ogden.
What kind of home can I realistically get in South Ogden for under $500K? ▾
Most of the inventory under $500K is 3- to 4-bedroom ramblers, split-entries, and tri-levels built between 1960 and 1990, typically 1,800–2,800 finished square feet on lots between 0.15 and 0.30 acres. In the upper end of that range you'll often see updated kitchens, finished basements, and two-car garages. Townhomes and smaller patio homes near 40th Street occasionally come in under $400K.
Which South Ogden neighborhoods tend to have homes under $500K? ▾
Burch Creek, Friendly Hills, Nob Hill, and the streets around Skyline Drive and Country Hills Drive consistently produce listings in this range. The closer you get to the bench with mountain or valley views, the faster prices climb past $500K, so most sub-$500K options sit on interior streets rather than view lots.
What school district serves South Ogden? ▾
South Ogden is part of Weber School District. Common feeders include Burch Creek and Country View Elementary, South Ogden Junior High, and Bonneville High School. A small portion on the north edge falls into Ogden City School District, so confirm boundaries on the specific address.
How's the commute to Hill Air Force Base and downtown Salt Lake? ▾
Hill AFB is roughly 12–18 minutes south via I-15 depending on which gate you use. Downtown Salt Lake City runs about 40–50 minutes in normal traffic, and FrontRunner from Ogden Station adds a no-driving option. This commute math is a big reason South Ogden stays popular with military and SLC-bound buyers.
Are property taxes and HOA fees something to budget for here? ▾
Weber County property tax rates are generally lower than Davis or Salt Lake County, often landing around 0.6–0.7% of assessed value for a primary residence. Most single-family neighborhoods in South Ogden have no HOA, though newer townhome and PUD developments off 40th Street typically carry monthly dues in the $100–$250 range.
Is $500K enough to get a home with a view or a finished basement? ▾
Yes, but usually one or the other rather than both. Finished basements are common in the $425K–$500K rambler segment because of the way these homes were originally built. Bench-view lots that look west across the Great Salt Lake or east toward Mount Ogden tend to push past $525K unless the home itself needs significant updating.
