Established homes on roomy lots
South Ogden has well-maintained and renovated homes as opposed to new constructions. The median price for a single-family home is $430,000 — slightly higher than the national median — but home can cost as much as $875,000. New windows and carpet are common updates among ramblers and ranch-style homes from the mid-1900s to the early 2000s. These homes are tightly tucked between next-door neighbors; yards stretch toward the sidewalk or back fence, but buyers can still count on finding quarter-acre lots. Mature trees also provide a natural source of privacy in South Ogden’s long-established subdivisions. Homes in eastern subdivisions, closer to the Wasatch Front, often have unobstructed views of snowcaps and greenery. Townhomes come with two-car garages and back patios sectioned off by divers. Homeowner’s associations also provide pools and clubhouses. The median townhouse price is $455,000.
Brick homes are common in the South Ogden neighborhood.
Townhomes are another great option for prospective South Ogden residents.
