Jefferson
Suburban Neighborhood in Ogden, Utah
Weber County 84401
A mixed bag of housing options
Homes in Jefferson are lined along gridded residential streets. In some areas, properties have alleyway access, while others use street parking. Many yards have simple grassy fields, with a tree or two. Single-story Craftsman homes from the 1890s and bungalows with a cottage core from the 1920s are the area’s primary housing styles. These properties span 800 to 2,000 square feet and range from $275,000 to $400,000. “It’s very diverse. There’s a lot of everything, and most of the houses have been remodeled,” Amarillo says. “There’s a combination of both renters and buyers.” Traditional townhouses usually come with an attached garage, and most condos have balconies. These multi-family housing options range from 750 to 1,200 square feet and are priced $250,000 to $300,000. There are also a handful of apartment complexes in the neighborhood, including Wingspan, Phoenix Rise and Browning Apartments.

Recreational facilities for the community
While most of the neighborhood is residential and commercial, there are a handful of places offering recreation for the area. Jefferson Park has grassy fields and a playground. An archway at the entrance to the park displays children playing along the frame. The Marshall White Center on 28th Street is a landmark for the community. When the center was slated for demolition in 2023, the community rallied together to create a $30 million renovation project that would save it. Upon completion, the project will add an indoor aquatics facility, basketball courts and a fully equipped fitness center to Marshall White. Currently, it holds youth and adult recreation and educational classes. The Marshall White Center Park next door has a playground, picnic tables and walking paths.
