Good for raising kids and better if you live on the east bench mountain side, north or south. Chickens are not allowed in the ogden city limits. I was just written up for having chickens. I have a file a hearing with the city but I doubt if they will give me permission even though I am in a semi remote area of the city and have 1 acre. Jobs are good in utah but they are not high wages. the governments pay more as is everywhere now. Don't buy a home here until you throughly check out all areas. a lot of homes on the market are not distressed and the owner don't care if they sell unless they get the high price they are asking. I perfer the south east area of ogden or better south ogden on the east side.
