Investment Properties for Sale in South Ogden, Utah
South Ogden sits in that useful middle ground on the Wasatch Front — close enough to Weber State University and McKay-Dee Hospital to pull steady renter demand, but priced well under Ogden's trendier 25th Street corridor or anything in Davis County to the south. Rentals here tend to be duplexes and older ramblers built in the 60s and 70s, plus a growing number of townhomes near Riverdale Road. Median rents for a 3-bedroom single-family home typically land in the $1,800-$2,200 range, while purchase prices for solid rental stock often run below what you'd pay a few exits north in Layton or a few exits south in Bountiful. That gap between rent and mortgage payment is exactly what draws investors here rather than to the pricier suburbs on either side.
Weber State's enrollment keeps a base of student and staff renters coming, and the hospital system employs thousands of nurses, techs, and residents who need housing on flexible leases. Add in easy access to I-15 and a 35-minute run to Salt Lake City International, and you've got a tenant pool that includes commuters as well as locals. Some investors here run traditional long-term rentals, others convert basement space into a second unit given the older housing stock's larger lots and walkout basements common in the foothill areas near Mount Ogden Park. Property taxes and insurance costs stay reasonable compared to St. George or Park City, which helps cash flow pencil out on paper before you ever run the numbers on a specific address.

Common questions
About investment properties in South Ogden.
What kinds of investment properties show up in South Ogden? ▾
Most active inventory falls into three buckets: small multi-family (duplexes and a handful of triplexes, often pre-1980 construction near Washington Blvd and 40th Street), single-family rentals in the $325K–$475K range targeting Weber State students and young professionals, and basement-apartment homes where the lower level is already set up as an ADU. True 4-plexes and larger are rare and usually trade off-market.
Are short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO) allowed in South Ogden? ▾
South Ogden City restricts short-term rentals heavily — they're generally not permitted in residential zones without a conditional use permit, and enforcement has tightened over the past few years. Most investors here run traditional 12-month leases. If STR income is central to your model, Ogden City proper and parts of Weber County have looser rules.
What rents can I expect on a typical single-family home here? ▾
A 3-bed/2-bath single-family rental in South Ogden generally pulls $1,850–$2,300 per month depending on garage, basement finish, and proximity to Weber State. Basement apartments add another $900–$1,300. Vacancy is low — Ogden's metro vacancy rate has been under 5% for several years.
Who's the rental tenant pool in South Ogden? ▾
It's a mix of Weber State University students and staff (campus is right next door), Hill Air Force Base personnel commuting south to the base, healthcare workers at McKay-Dee Hospital, and young families priced out of Layton and Farmington. That diversity is why landlords here see steadier occupancy than single-employer towns.
How do property taxes and insurance compare to other Wasatch Front cities? ▾
Weber County property tax rates run slightly higher than Davis or Utah County — budget roughly 0.7%–0.9% of assessed value annually for non-owner-occupied properties (the primary residence exemption doesn't apply to investments). Insurance on older South Ogden homes can run higher too if knob-and-tube or galvanized plumbing hasn't been updated.
What should I inspect closely on older South Ogden homes? ▾
A lot of the housing stock west of Harrison Blvd dates to the 1940s–60s. Check for asbestos in floor tile and duct wrap, original cast-iron sewer laterals (camera scope is worth $150), aluminum wiring on 1965–73 builds, and foundation cracks from the area's expansive clay soils. These are fixable issues that often show up in pricing.
