Ogden Real Estate & Living Guide

Living in Ogden: The Outdoor Adventure Capital. Ogden is gritty, historic, and incredibly cool. Once a rowdy railroad town, it has transformed into an outdoor mecca that rivals Boulder or Bend. Anchored by Weber State University and the famous Historic 25th Street, Ogden offers a vibrant nightlife and arts scene. Best of all, it sits at the doorstep of Snowbasin and Powder Mountain, two of the best ski resorts in the West. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Ogden Real Estate

What is Historic 25th Street? It is the soul of the city. Once known for speakeasies and rough crowds, "Two-Bit Street" is now a trendy, walkable district lined with local breweries, art galleries, comedy clubs, and some of the best independent restaurants in Utah.
Is Ogden a college town? Yes. Weber State University brings a youthful energy to the city, along with cultural events, NCAA sports, and educational jobs. The university area (Harrison Blvd) is a popular spot for rentals and student housing.
How close is the skiing? Unbeatable. You can drive from downtown Ogden to the lifts at Snowbasin or Powder Mountain in about 25–30 minutes. Unlike the Cottonwood Canyons in Salt Lake, these resorts rarely have the massive traffic jams.
What are the "East Bench" neighborhoods? The neighborhoods east of Harrison Boulevard (like the Shadow Valley or Malan's Peak areas) are highly desirable. They offer mid-century modern homes, spectacular sunset views, and direct access to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
