Investment Properties for Sale in South Ogden, Utah
South Ogden sits in the heart of the Ogden metro, tucked between the Wasatch Front foothills and the Weber River corridor, about 35 miles north of Salt Lake City International Airport. The city's population hovers around 17,000, and its location along the US-89 corridor makes it a practical base for renters who work at Hill Air Force Base — one of Utah's largest employers with roughly 22,000 military and civilian personnel — as well as commuters heading into downtown Ogden, the Weber State University campus, or even the Salt Lake Valley. That steady employment base is what makes South Ogden particularly attractive for income-producing real estate: demand for quality rentals stays relatively consistent regardless of broader market swings. Single-family homes here have historically traded in the $350,000–$480,000 range, a price point low enough that the math on cash flow or appreciation can still work for investors who are careful about purchase price and financing structure.
Investment properties in South Ogden span several formats — traditional single-family rentals, duplexes, and the occasional small multi-unit building on or near Washington Boulevard and 48th Street. The city's mature neighborhoods mean most lots are established, with mature trees and infrastructure already in place, which keeps maintenance surprises more predictable than in new-construction subdivisions. Gross rental yields vary by property type, but two- to four-bedroom single-family homes in solid condition have been commanding monthly rents in the $1,400–$1,900 range. Property tax rates in Weber County are among the more manageable in the Wasatch Front, which helps protect net operating income.

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.
