Hello, I have lived in both areas. Currently living in Smithfield approx. 8 miles north of Logan and ogden for about 8 yrs through the 90's. Much contrast between the two. Ogden has much more the feel of a bigger town while most communities in the Cache valley are larger lot sizes and more rural feeling. You can still find homes in logan with 2or3 cows in the back but it is getting less common. Both town have universities, USU in Logan and Weber State in Ogden. Both are state run but Weber was still classified as a college until just a few years ago.
Crime will be more of a concern in Ogden but Cache valley had its very first drive by last week in Hyrum so it is coming. The shooters did come up from ogden though. If I were you I would stay out of the area from 12th street to 36 and washington to monroe blvds. I probably would stay away from the area on the west side of the 24th street viaduct. South Ogden and those communities from the mouth of Weber canyon to riverdale are nice as well as most of the areas from North Ogden and west(plain city, farr west ect.) If you have any more questions give me a PM. I didn't really go into what Cache Valley has to offer but my Wife and I love it here.
