Washington Terrace is home to high-quality care near Ogden attractions
Washington Terrace offers a serene space for neighbors who want to live in a quiet area that’s still convenient to big northern Utah attractions.

Both older homes and new construction offer modern interiors
Homes range from the mid $300,000s to the high $700,000s, but most cost less than $500,000. Remodeled ramblers and ranch-style homes are common finds. These properties appeal to buyers who don’t have the budget to build or afford a new construction but still want a modern style. Your mid-1900s brick house will show its age on the outside, but step through the front door and find a laundry list of updates, including hardwood floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Outside, you’ll find plenty of yard space to plant a garden out front while your kids play in the backyard. Newer homes built around 2020 start at $550,000. Their interior resembles the older, remodeled homes. However, the main differences are the newer foundations and modern front face designs, like stone veneer and siding. Brand new shingles cost at least $700,000, with more space as the main selling point. Expect to find at least 3,000 square feet and a three-car garage instead of 2,000 square feet and a one-garage.
Local Weber District schools are within walking distance of homes
Subdivision sidewalks lead to Roosevelt Elementary and T.H. Bell Junior High Schools, which sit directly across from each other. Teens attend Bonneville High, located half a mile north.
