The Best Neighborhoods in St. George, Utah

So, you are thinking about moving to St. George, Utah? Well, you are not the only one. St. George has, in the last couple of years, welcomed thousands of newcomers. Some of them moved for work, some moved to be closer to their families, and some moved because they loved what they heard about this mesmerizing city. Namely, St. George is, primarily, a safe and fun place to live with tons of amenities people from all walks of life can enjoy.

However, when you are moving, you are not moving only to a new state or a new city, but you are moving to a new neighborhood as well. And, the area you choose for yourself (and your family) can ‘make or break’ your new life. But, do not worry – all you have to do is some online research. We are also here to help you out by sharing all about the best neighborhoods in St. George that will, hopefully, suit all of your needs and preferences.

1. Little Valley 

Most people who work in Washington, but do not like all that hustle and bustle of a metropolitan city, settle in Little Valley. Little Valley is a small neighborhood, and it is located just around the corner of Washington. This is the place to move if you like a close-knit community feel and family vibes. And, speaking of families, Little Valley is full of them – 90% of the neighborhood’s population are parents with children. Thus, you have great schools, safe play areas, and plenty of outdoor and indoor family-friendly activities here.

Moreover, the real estate in Little Valley is booming more than ever. Homes, either houses or buildings, are built every single day. So, if you want a neighborhood where you can live comfortably with your family in a new-built home, Little Valley is the place for you.

2. Desert Color 

Next on our list of best neighborhoods in St. George, Utah, is Desert Color. Most people do not want to move here because this is one of the oldest neighborhoods in St. George, and thus, they think that the houses (and everything around them) is old too. But that is not true! What is going on in Desert Color is quite the opposite. Namely, this large neighborhood is experiencing significant growth – the houses and nearby amenities are being renovated as we speak.

What is more, Desert Color is rapidly expanding! In some areas of the neighborhood, construction companies build residential homes (houses and buildings), and in others, they build commercial centers. So, in case you were planning to move to St. George to start your business (or relocate an existing one), for example, Desert Color might be a great option. And if moving a business is what you are doing, the Master Moving Guide suggests never to go about it on your own. Hire reliable movers experienced in business relocations.  

3. Washington Fields 

The neighborhood of Washington Fields is not located in Washington, as many people think. It is in  St. George, but it is very close to Washington itself. So, just as previously mentioned, people who move here work in Washington and prefer to commute. But, what is interesting about this neighborhood is that it has some of the best primary, middle, and high schools in the city (and maybe even broader!). Also, most of those schools have some of the highest ratings in the city and the entire state. For instance, some of those schools are Crimson Cliffs Middle School and Crimson Cliffs High School.

So, you guessed it – this neighborhood too is mainly inhabited by families with school-aged children. But, besides schools, Washington Fields also has great entertainment options for your little ones. There are many outdoor and indoor play centers for children of all ages right here in this neighborhood. 

4. Red Cliffs 

We cannot talk about the best St. George, Utah neighborhoods but not mention Red Cliffs. This neighborhood is not as new as most other areas in St. George, but that gives it its charm. Yes, there is something so mesmerizing about wandering through the streets of Red Cliffs – they are all decorated with tall trees, flowers, bushes, etc. The houses are also charming as they are painted in pastel colors and have colorful fences. So, if you enjoy neighborhoods like this and you think you could move here and start a new chapter of your life, start looking for movers to transfer you to your new place as soon as possible – the homes are being sold out quickly. 

Moreover, the neighborhood of Red Cliffs is also famous for its Red Cliffs reserve. People of all ages can enjoy outdoor sports, hiking, dog walking, picnicking, barbecuing, and all sorts of adventurous activities. People from all of St. George and Washington love spending their weekends here – but do not worry, the reserve is big, and there is a place for everybody.

Middleton 

Last on our list of the best neighborhoods in St. George, Utah, is one small neighborhood called Middleton. Middleton is attached to Red Cliffs, which means that it offers all the previously mentioned fun and outdoor activities. The Red Cliffs reserve is just 20 minutes away (by car). Again, just like most places in St. George, Middleton is inhabited mainly by families. To be precise, more than 80% of its population are families. 

However, what makes this neighborhood special are the real estate price tags. Here, you can buy a home for approximately $150 000, which is relatively cheap when it comes to prices in other Utah’s areas. However, keep in mind that most homes sold here are small, one or two-story houses. You cannot find buildings or some of those big houses in Middleton.
