Homes Under $500,000 in South Ogden, Utah
South Ogden still delivers real value for buyers priced out of Salt Lake and Davis County. Sitting between Ogden and Riverdale along the Wasatch Bench, this Weber County city gives you quick access to I-15 and Highway 89, a 35-40 minute commute to downtown SLC, and a much shorter one to Hill Air Force Base and the growing McKay-Dee Hospital employment corridor. Under $500K here typically buys a 3-4 bedroom rambler or split-entry home built between the 1970s and 1990s, often with a finished basement, mature landscaping, and a lot size that's hard to find in newer subdivisions further south. Neighborhoods like Burch Creek, the area around Mount Ogden Park, and pockets near South Ogden Junior High tend to have the most inventory at this price point. Buyers drawn to this range are usually first-time purchasers, HAFB families, or people trading up from a condo who still want a yard and a garage without stretching into the $600Ks common in nearby Washington Terrace's newer builds or South Weber's larger lots. Winters bring real snow and a legitimate ski season 25 minutes up the canyon at Snowbasin, while summers stay milder than St. George or Cedar City thanks to the elevation and bench-side breeze. Homes at this price move quickly when they're updated, so a solid basement, newer roof, or updated kitchen tends to separate the ones that get multiple offers from the ones that sit.

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.
