Living in North Ogden: The View from the Top

North Ogden is the "Crown Jewel" of the northern metro. Sitting directly at the base of the majestic Ben Lomond Peak, it offers the highest elevation living in the county, resulting in spectacular views and cooler summer temperatures. It is a community that prides itself on patriotism (home of the Major Brent Taylor Foundation) and outdoor access, serving as the gateway to the North Ogden Divide and Nordic Valley.

The city is currently upgrading its lifestyle amenities. The new commercial district at 2700 North & Washington (The Barker Property) is actively building out, with new retail and banking facilities scheduled to open in Spring 2026. For residents who work from home, the news is even better: a city-wide Fiber Optic Expansion is currently underway, bringing gigabit internet speeds to neighborhoods that previously struggled with connectivity.


North Ogden Market Snapshot (Late 2025)

A premium market defined by elevation and views.

Metric Current Stat What This Means for You
Median Sales Price ~$550,000 A step above Ogden/Harrisville. You pay a premium for the school district and the mountain location.
Days on Market ~50 Days Steady. "Bench" homes ($700k+) take longer to sell, while starter homes near Washington Blvd move fast.
Snow Load High Due to elevation, North Ogden gets significantly more snow than the valley floor. A snowblower is mandatory here.

Neighborhoods & Lifestyle

  • The Bench (Above Mountain Rd): The prestige zone. These homes are built into the foothills, offering deer in the backyard and unobstructed views of the entire Great Salt Lake.
  • Coldwater Canyon: The gateway to the Divide. This area features large custom estates and direct access to the trailhead for hiking and biking.
  • Washington Blvd Corridor: The convenient core. Living here means walking distance to North Ogden Park, the library, and the new commercial developments.

Frequently Asked Questions About North Ogden

When is Cherry Days?
North Ogden's signature festival is set for Saturday, July 4, 2026. It is famous for the sunrise flag ceremony, the massive parade down Washington Blvd, and fireworks at North Ogden Park. It is arguably the most patriotic event in the state.
What is "The Divide"?
The North Ogden Divide is the steep, winding mountain pass that connects North Ogden to the Ogden Valley (Eden/Liberty). It is a critical shortcut to the ski resorts (20 mins to Nordic Valley). Note: It can close during severe winter storms.
Is there a new Police Station?
Yes. The new Public Safety Building (housing Police and Courts) opened in 2025. It is located near the library and represents a major upgrade to the city's infrastructure and emergency response capabilities.
What is happening on 2700 North?
The "Barker Property" (west of Washington Blvd) is being developed into a new commercial hub. New retail buildings are under construction and set to open in 2026, bringing more shopping and dining options to the city so residents don't have to drive to Ogden.
