South Ogden, Utah

Multi-Family Homes for Sale in South Ogden, Utah

South Ogden sits just south of downtown Ogden along the east bench, with Weber State University, McKay-Dee Hospital, and quick I-15 access all within about ten minutes. Those three demand drivers — students, hospital staff, and commuters heading toward Hill Air Force Base or Salt Lake — are exactly why small multi-family properties hold their value here. Most of the duplex and fourplex inventory was built between the 1960s and early 1980s in the neighborhoods west of Harrison Boulevard, with brick exteriors, separate utility meters, and detached or tuck-under garages. Newer construction is rare because South Ogden is largely built out and the zoning map leans heavily single-family, which keeps the existing multi-family stock in tight supply.

Pricing for a standard side-by-side duplex in South Ogden generally runs in the $450,000–$650,000 range depending on unit mix and condition, with fourplexes climbing into the high six figures and occasionally low sevens. Owner-occupants using FHA or VA financing compete directly with local investors for the cleaner properties, so well-maintained listings rarely sit. Buyers should pay attention to roof age, sewer line condition on the older Madison Avenue stock, and whether the seller can produce a rent roll and Schedule E.

Common questions

About multi-family homes in South Ogden.

What counts as a multi-family home in South Ogden?

On the Weber County MLS, multi-family generally means duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes on a single parcel with one deed. A single-family house with a basement mother-in-law apartment is usually listed as residential with an ADU, not multi-family. If you want true rental income on separate meters, look specifically for the multi-family property class.

Where in South Ogden do most duplexes and small multi-family buildings sit?

The bulk of older duplexes are west of Harrison Boulevard near 40th and 36th Street, with some scattered along Madison and Adams. These are typically 1960s–1980s side-by-side units on flat lots. Newer multi-family construction is limited because most of South Ogden is built out and zoned single-family.

Can I use an FHA or VA loan to buy a duplex or fourplex here?

Yes, if you plan to live in one of the units as your primary residence. FHA allows up to four units with 3.5% down, and VA allows zero down for eligible borrowers on up to a fourplex. The property also has to pass the appraisal and meet rent-to-PITI ratios the lender requires.

What kind of rents do South Ogden units pull?

Two-bedroom units in South Ogden typically rent in the $1,200–$1,500 range, with three-bedroom sides closer to $1,600–$1,900 depending on condition and garage access. Proximity to Weber State University and McKay-Dee Hospital keeps demand steady year-round, which is the main reason small investors target this submarket.

How does South Ogden compare to Ogden proper for multi-family investing?

South Ogden is a separate city with its own police, lower crime stats than downtown Ogden, and generally better-kept housing stock — which means higher acquisition prices but easier tenant screening and lower vacancy. Cash-on-cash returns tend to be tighter than central Ogden, but appreciation and tenant quality have historically been stronger.

Are short-term rentals allowed in South Ogden multi-family properties?

South Ogden restricts short-term rentals (under 30 days) in most residential zones, so Airbnb-style use on a duplex is not a safe assumption. Long-term leases of 30 days or more are the standard play here. Always confirm current code with South Ogden City before writing an offer based on STR income.
