Single Story Homes for Sale in South Ogden, Utah
South Ogden sits at the base of the Wasatch Mountains along the eastern bench of Weber County, roughly 35 miles north of Salt Lake City — close enough to the airport and downtown SLC for a reasonable commute, yet decidedly its own community with tree-lined streets, mature lots, and a quieter pace than the metro core. Single-story homes are a significant part of South Ogden's housing stock, largely because the city developed heavily in the 1950s through 1970s when ranch-style construction dominated Utah's suburban neighborhoods. That heritage means buyers today often find solid brick ranch homes on generous lots — frequently 8,000 to 10,000 square feet or more — with attached garages, established landscaping, and the kind of square footage that makes single-level living genuinely comfortable rather than cramped.
For buyers who want to avoid stairs — whether due to mobility considerations, young children, aging parents moving in, or simply preferring a floor plan where everything is on one level — South Ogden delivers without requiring a move to a retirement-specific community. Prices for single-story homes here generally range from the upper $300,000s for a more modest ranch up through the mid-$500,000s for updated or larger layouts, though that shifts with market conditions. The Ogden-Weber school district serves most of South Ogden, and everyday amenities — grocery stores, medical offices, and Newgate Mall — are within a short drive. Mt. Ogden Park and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail are minutes away for outdoor access. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About single story homes in South Ogden.
Are single-story homes common in South Ogden? ▾
Yes — South Ogden's mid-century building boom produced a large stock of ramblers, and they remain one of the most common layouts in the city. You'll see them concentrated in established neighborhoods like Burch Creek, Uintah Highlands, and the streets surrounding South Ogden Junior High.
Do most single-story homes here have basements? ▾
Most do. A typical South Ogden rambler has roughly equal square footage upstairs and down, with the main level offering full single-story living and the basement adding bedrooms, a family room, or rental potential. True slab-on-grade single-stories exist but are less common on the bench.
What's the price range for a one-level home in South Ogden? ▾
As of recent market activity, updated 1960s-era ramblers tend to start in the upper $300s to low $400s, while newer or larger single-level homes on the east bench can run $600K–$800K+. Custom builds with views toward Antelope Island push higher.
Are there newer single-story builds, or mostly older ramblers? ▾
Both. The bulk of inventory is mid-century, but pockets of newer construction exist along the eastern edge of the city near Skyline Drive and in small infill developments. Newer builds typically feature open floor plans, 9-foot ceilings, and attached three-car garages.
Is single-level living a good fit for South Ogden's terrain? ▾
It depends on the lot. Homes west of Harrison Boulevard sit on relatively flat ground, ideal for true no-stairs living. East of Harrison, lots get steeper, so many "single-story" homes are technically split-entries or have walkout basements — worth checking the listing photos and floor plan carefully.
How close are these homes to hospitals and shopping? ▾
McKay-Dee Hospital sits right in South Ogden off Harrison Boulevard, and Newgate Mall plus the Junction in downtown Ogden are both within about 10 minutes. That proximity to healthcare is a big reason single-story homes here move quickly with retirees and downsizers.
