According to the Zillow Home Value Index, Utah home values have skyrocketed over the past 15 years, but there are still pockets of affordability scattered throughout the Beehive State. You’ll find the most budget-friendly neighborhoods concentrated primarily in Provo, Ogden, and Logan — university towns that offer both economic opportunity and relatively lower living costs compared to the Salt Lake City metro area.
Looking at the 25 least expensive neighborhoods in Utah, you’ll notice that Ogden’s housing market has undergone the most dramatic transformation, with neighborhoods like Downtown Ogden and West Ogden experiencing growth rates exceeding 270% since 2010.

You might be surprised to learn that the average 2025 home value among these 25 neighborhoods sits at approximately $365,269, with an average 15-year appreciation of 169%. Even more telling is that neighborhoods in Ogden dominate the highest appreciation lists, while Provo neighborhoods, despite their university town status, show more measured growth — suggesting different economic and development patterns between these regional centers.
