Investment Properties for Sale in South Ogden, Utah
South Ogden sits in a useful spot for rental investors — tucked between Weber State University, McKay-Dee Hospital, and the commuter corridor running north to Hill Air Force Base. That mix produces a tenant pool that doesn't dry up when one employer hiccups: students and faculty from Weber State, nurses and techs from the McKay-Dee campus, airmen and contractors at Hill, plus young families who've been priced out of Davis County. Median home prices here typically run $50K–$100K below Layton or Kaysville for similar square footage, which is why cash-flow math actually works in South Ogden when it doesn't pencil further south. Most rental inventory is older — a lot of the housing stock dates to the 1950s and 60s — so deals usually involve some level of cosmetic or systems updating.
The neighborhoods east of Harrison Boulevard, up toward the foothills and Mount Ogden, command higher rents and attract longer-term tenants. West of Washington Blvd you'll find more entry-level duplexes and starter single-families with stronger cap rates but more turnover. South Ogden City has tightened short-term rental rules, so most investors here run traditional 12-month leases rather than chasing Airbnb income. Basement apartments and accessory units are common and add meaningful cash flow when they're legal and separately metered.

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.
