Mountains meet industry in South Weber, a residential city that sits along its namesake river and the Wasatch Mountain range, about 11 miles south of Ogden. Originally settled by homesteaders in the 1850s after splitting from Uintah, South Weber has since transitioned with a population of over 8,100, surrounded by the outdoors on one side, and the Hill Air Force Base on the other. South Weber is often hailed as "The Windy City" because of jet streams from the base paired with the natural winds from Weber Canyon. “If you’re into watching planes land, you’ll see them all the time in South Weber,” says Joe Adair, broker and owner of Adair Real Estate, who has over 30 years of experience.

Hill Air Force Base jobs and other industries
South Weber’s job market includes the Hill Air Force Base bordering the southwest of the city. As Utah’s largest single-site employer, the base produces an annual economic impact of $11 billion. “You have independent contractors and military all working on the base or for Northrop Grumman,” Adair says. In addition to the government and defense industry sectors, South Weber has a niche in manufacturing and construction. Top employers include Geneva Rock Products, Weber Basin Job Corps and Staker Parson Companies, which benefit from proximity to the mountains.

Traveling to nearby shopping and dining
The city does not have a designated shopping and dining district but is close to other outlets. “There’s easy access to restaurants and any kind of shopping you need. Everything is within 5 to 10 minutes away,” Adair says. Commercial corridors along US-89 and Harrison Boulevard are about 4 miles north, past Uintah, going into South Ogden. These areas have various small businesses and a regional grocery store. Restaurants include American grills, international eateries and fast-food options. Additionally, the Layton Hills Mall is about 8 miles southwest.

Strong winds and decreasing crime reports
The city contracts with the Davis County Sheriff's Office. According to the Bureau of Criminal Identification, the number of violent offenses reported in 2024 decreased by 28% from the previous year. Additionally, property offenses reported decreased by 20%. South Weber’s location along the mouth of Weber Canyon impacts the weather in the city and surrounding areas. “It’s a high wind area all winter, so it gets very cold,” Adair says. “It’s breezy all summer, which is nice and cool.”
