About Student Housing in Ogden
Ogden's rental market is shaped almost entirely by Weber State University, which sits at the base of the Wasatch foothills on the east side of the city. Housing near campus is affordable relative to Salt Lake and Provo — you can find solid one-bedrooms for well under $1,000/mo — and inventory is generally less competitive because Ogden has not seen the same demand surge as the broader Wasatch Front. The city has a rougher reputation than it deserves: Historic 25th Street has genuinely revived as a bar and restaurant corridor, and the foothills access for hiking and biking is excellent. Students who want outdoor access without Provo prices or Salt Lake rents end up here and tend to stay.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Ogden
East Bench (Near Weber State)
The closest cluster to campus, with a mix of student-optimized apartments and older rental houses. Walking distance to WSU's library and student center. Fills up by spring for the following fall.
Historic 25th Street / Downtown Ogden
More affordable than the East Bench and recently developed enough that it does not feel like a compromise. Good for students who want a bar and restaurant scene walking distance from home. A bike ride or short drive to campus.
Getting Around Ogden as a Student
Here's what you need to know about getting around Ogden.
Public Transit
FrontRunner commuter rail connects Ogden to Salt Lake City, making the commute to the bigger city manageable for students who split their time between both. UTA buses run through campus and into downtown. Within Ogden itself, the bus network is functional but infrequent — most students use it to supplement a car rather than replace it.
Walking and Biking
The area between campus and 25th Street is bikeable — reasonably flat, with some designated lanes. Weber State's campus is compact and walkable once you are on it. Beyond that core zone, Ogden spreads into a standard grid and the infrastructure gets patchier.
Parking
Ogden is one of the easier Wasatch Front cities for parking. Street parking is abundant near campus, and most apartments in the East Bench include a space. On-campus parking permits are available and not prohibitively expensive.

Living Near Weber State vs. Commuting from Davis County or Salt Lake
