Ogden
Rural serenity meets suburban charm in Ogden, a small community in the township of Upper Chichester. Many historians consider this township on the border of Delaware and Pennsylvania one of the first settlements within the original land grant purchased by Quaker leader William Penn. Locals take pride in each other’s accomplishments, and the community has retained its rural, small-town charm while offering a diverse range of homes and local businesses.
Here you’ll find a small town community of winding country streets leading through thick forests. Most homes are within a few miles of main neighborhood thoroughfares like Naaman’s Creek Road, which runs right through the middle of the community, providing locals with a route to major retailers and restaurants as well as freeway access. Ogden has a diverse residential landscape, home to a bevy of different architectural styles. Simple Colonial houses with ample yard and garage space can sit alongside a Cape Cod home, both of which could be down the street from a cul-de-sac of bungalows and ranch-style houses. The former home styles typically feature multi-story houses with community spaces on the first floor and bedrooms on the second. In contrast, the latter home styles emphasize open floor plans, allowing homeowners to take advantage of every inch of living space. The range of established and newly built homes gives Ogden a distinct residential aesthetic compared to other communities. Larger colonial-revival and Cape Cod homes range from $300,000 to as much as $585,000, while bungalows and ranch-style houses range from $220,000 to $400,000.
Ogden’s public school students are served by the Chichester School District, beginning their academic careers at primary schools like Boothwyn Elementary, which has an overall C plus Niche rating and teaches from kindergarten to fourth grade. Students move on to intermediate and secondary institutions such as Chichester Middle and Chichester Senior High School. Both schools have overall C or above Niche ratings, and the latter high school has a student-to-teacher ratio of 12:1.
Neighborhood parks and walking trails immerse locals in the serene Pennsylvania countryside. Take a walk around the pond at John T. Adkinson Park, offering tranquil green spaces perfect for strolls along its walking trails, a tiny free library for community book lending and playgrounds for the kids to enjoy. Rocco Gaspari Park is another green space offering walking trails, playgrounds, tennis courts and athletic fields commonly used for community and recreational league games. Nearby freeways give locals access to state parks all along the Delaware River.
Local marketplaces and restaurants provide locals with places to buy and sell local goods and enjoy a nice meal. Booth’s Corner Farmers Market is a favorite shopping destination of Ogden locals, where you can find just about anything from fresh produce and meats to children’s toys and antique items. Local grocery store Produce Junction is another popular shopping spot, keeping locals stocked with fresh produce and other healthy grocery items. Franchise shopping is available at nearby shopping centers like Larkin’s Corner, just under three miles to the north along Conchester Highway.
Meet up with some friends at Kid Shelleen’s, just four miles to the south of Ogden. This established regional steakhouse chain is known for its juicy prime rib, sandwiches, small plate items and classic Mexican fare.
The distinct small-town spirit and proximity to excellent businesses and major freeways make Ogden a worthy place to call home.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
