Homes Under $500,000 in South Ogden, Utah
South Ogden sits in that sweet spot along the Wasatch Front where Weber County's Ogden metro affordability still holds up against the pricier Davis and Salt Lake County markets to the south. A budget of $500,000 here still reaches into solid neighborhoods off Skyline Drive and near Weber State University, plus the ranch-style homes and split-entries built through the 1970s and 80s in the flats east of Washington Blvd. You're looking at mostly three and four bedroom homes on quarter-acre lots, some with mountain views toward Mount Ogden and Snowbasin, others closer to Ogden Regional Medical Center and the shopping along Riverdale Road.
This price point is where most South Ogden inventory actually lives — it's not a stretch budget here the way it is in Park City or even parts of Farmington. Commuters headed to Hill Air Force Base, downtown Ogden, or south toward Layton and the Davis County job corridor find this a realistic entry point without sacrificing a garage, a yard, or a finished basement. Older homes needing cosmetic work sit at the lower end of the range, while updated kitchens and newer roofs push toward the top of it.

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.
