A lively, yet laid-back city center

Less than 40 miles north of Salt Lake City, Downtown Ogden offers vibrant city living against a backdrop of the picturesque Wasatch Mountains. “It’s a really cool, up-and-coming, super vibrant community,” says Brick Realty Realtor and Ogden local Ashley Kinney. Realtor Jenny Erb, owner of 801 Realtors and also a true Ogden local, says Downtown Ogden is where people from around Weber County come for dining and entertainment. “It’s a really fun place, with mostly local businesses. There on old Historic 25th Street, that’s where you’ve got locally owned coffee shops and restaurants, and where the city holds different festivals and events,” she says, adding that events take place here year-round, from the fall Harvest Moon Fest and winter Christmas Village to the summer concert series and Ogden Farmer’s Market. And with everything from modern townhomes and condos close to the river to 1930s-era A-Frame homes, housing here is just as varied.

Tantalizing food scene

Downtown Ogden is the center of the metro’s food scene. It’s where locals come to get fresh produce and artisan, handmade goods at the Ogden Farmer’s Market in the warmer months. And it’s home to everything from coffee shops and brunch spots to breweries, bars and eateries featuring fare inspired by cuisines from around the world. “Ogden is a pretty relaxed town. We have a couple of restaurants that are a little nicer, but for the most part nothing is fancy and people here don’t really care if you’re dressed up or casual,” says Erb, adding that one of the more upscale eateries around here is Table Twenty Five. “It’s a beautiful setting in there and the food is really good. It’s kind of a classier joint,” she says of the sleek American restaurant. Tona Sushi Bar & Grill, Slackwater and Roosters Brewing are among Erb’s favorite dining and drinking spots in Downtown Ogden. And her favorite bar is The Angry Goat. “The food is great, and we like to go there for brunch on Sundays because it’s a bar, so there’s no kids,” she says. For groceries and other everyday essentials, locals can head to the Walmart Supercenter on West 20th Street.

Live music and festive annual events

With Linquist Field less than a mile from most homes, Ogden Raptors minor league baseball games can be heard from backyards throughout the neighborhood. Local youngsters can burn off their energy at Ogden Park and Municipal Garden, which features a playground with classic climbing structures and slides, as well as a walking path and shady picnic area. It’s also home to Ogden’s annual Christmas Village, which lights up the garden with miniature homes decorated to the nines for the Christmas season. The windows on the cottages are low enough for even the shortest youngsters to peek in without an adult hoisting them up. Near the playground and garden, locals can enjoy outdoor concerts and films at the Ogden Amphitheater. “And if you go over the mountains to the east, there’s Pine View Lake and two ski resorts, all within a 15-minute drive of Ogden,” says Erb.

Revitalizing, block by block

Homes here run from around $240,000 for two-bedroom A-Frames built in the early 1930s to more than $450,000 for four-bedroom Craftsman-inspired townhomes built in the 2010s. “The housing that’s walkable from Historic 25th Street is not the area that most people want to live in right now,” says Erb. “There are condos and townhomes on the north side of downtown, by the river, and those are nicer. But the city has huge plans to renovate all of downtown. They’ve torn down whole city blocks where the older houses were totally dilapidated, and they’re going through each city block and turning them around.” She adds that the city is “very intentional” with its revitalization of the area. “You’d be lucky to get a home for $300,000 in the city now,” she says. “The median is closer to $400,000 or $450,000, and there are houses there that are pushing a million now.”

Ogden city schools

Downtown Ogden youngsters are served by schools in the Ogden City School District. Many go to New Bridge Elementary and continue to Mound Fort Junior High, both of which earn C grades from Niche. Older students go to Ogden High School, which earns a B. The high school was built in the mid-1930s and added to the National Register of Historic Places in the ‘80s for its grand Classical Moderne architecture. And it’s got the brawn and brains to back up its pretty façade. The school’s gym and athletic complex were refurbished and expanded in 2014 to include new state-of-the-art facilities and an eight-lane competition pool. And U.S. News & World Report ranks Ogden High in the top 70 best high schools in the state, based on the college readiness and state assessment performance of its students. Students there can apply to participate in the International Baccalaureate program.

Getting around town

Downtown Ogden locals enjoy walkability to all the shopping, dining and entertainment options in their neighborhood. But getting around the wider city is easy, too, with stops on the UTA bus lines at the Ogden Intermodal Bus Station off 24th Street. The FrontRunner commuter rail line, which connects through Weber, Davis, Salt Lake and Utah Counties, also picks up at a station on 24th Street. Salt Lake City is about 40 miles south, a drive that takes less than 40 minutes in light traffic.
