Peaceful farmland, small-town vibes
Hooper City, Utah, is known for wide open spaces and mountain views. “You can’t go much farther west of Hooper without getting into the Great Salt Lake area, so there’s not a whole lot more beyond it. It’s a nice spot to be tucked away. It’s a very small-town, country, rural feel,” says Charity Peterson, a former Hooper resident and Realtor with Equity Real Estate Select. “It’s awesome in that regard, actually, it’s all farmland and ranches,” she says. “The residents are awesome. It has a post office that’s like a Hallmark movie—the people are just so nice and they know everyone in town. If you like country living, Hooper is where to be.” But with Ogden just 11 miles northeast and Salt Lake City less than 40 miles south, locals don’t need to venture very far for urban amenities.

New builds and vintage ranches
There are an increasing number of new builds springing up all over Hooper, between the sprawling farmland and working ranches. Prices here run anywhere from $430,000 for a modern three-bedroom townhome to nearly $600,000 for a Dallas-style home on a two-acre property. “Prices here are tricky because there are a lot of older homes with a lot of land that can throw off the median,” says Peterson. “You see these homes that are priced higher, even though they’re not as new and they have fewer amenities, and they’re more expensive because they have lots of land and that’s really valuable.” Even the new builds sit on sizeable lots. “A third of an acre might be as low as they go, but most of them are on half-acre lots. Most people who want to move to Hooper are looking for at least one acre, usually two. Lots of people have horses and chickens, and little homesteads with gardens and fruit trees,” Peterson says.

Weber County schools
Local kids attend schools in the Weber School District, which serves the whole of Weber County with the exception of Ogden proper. Many students go to Hooper Elementary, one of the only schools in the district located within Hooper city limits. The elementary school earns a B-minus from Niche. Older students can continue their grade school careers at Rocky Mountain Junior High in West Haven, about 3 miles northeast of Hooper, and Fremont High in Plain City, nearly 11 miles north. Rocky Mountain earns a C grade from Niche and Fremont earns a B. Teens at Fremont High can take advantage of the school’s wide array of AP and concurrent enrollment courses to get a jump start on college while still in high school. Fremont students can also apply to participate in the school’s International Baccalaureate program.

Playgrounds, sports fields and rodeo grounds
There are three official city parks in Hooper. North Park’s sunny baseball diamonds and soccer fields sprawl around the Hooper City Civic Center. WildWood Park, just 3 miles south, has a classic playground, a shady bowery for community gatherings and sunny soccer fields. Hooper Park and Arena, in the middle of town, also has a playground and a bowery, as well as baseball diamonds and rodeo grounds. Locals from around Hooper flock to the park for the city’s Tomato Days festival every year.

Labor Day’s Tomato Days
Hooper’s Tomato Days festival, which happens over Labor Day weekend each year, is well-known for events like bull riding and the Jr. Rodeo, featuring competitions like mutton bustin’ and calf riding. Brave grownups can step into the Ring of Fear and stare down a Mexican fighting bull. Competitions like the Cherry Tomato Baby Show, Backyard BBQ and Hooper’s Hakuna Tomata Talent Show offer tons of opportunities for residents to display their skills and community pride.

Mom-and-pop shops
One gas station joins a handful of small mom-and-pop-style shops, like Nicky’s Little Cake Shop and Vintage Restoration & Signs, scattered around Hooper. Between the local post office and Hooper Elementary, there’s Dance Image Studios, which has offered dance and exercise classes to locals aged two and up since 1959. The closest grocery store is Kent’s Market, in Roy about 3 miles east of the post office. Big box retailers like Walmart Supercenter, Lowe’s and Kohl’s are slightly farther afield, in Clinton about 5 miles southeast of town. “For any big events like concerts or sports games, or to go to restaurants and bars and that kind of thing, most people go to Ogden or even Layton,” says Peterson. Both bigger cities are less than 15 miles east of Hooper.

Getting around town
Given the rural setting, most locals use cars (or horses) to get around town. But Interstate 15 is just 5 miles east. Via I-15, the 37-mile drive south to Salt Lake City takes about 40 minutes.
