What's up guys, it's Cody! Stick your trusted real estate resource when it comes to living in southern Utah.

In this video we're talking about where to live in St George we're going to be talking about a couple different areas that you should consider and we're going to be doing a map tour here, showing you what it's like to work eat sleep, live and play here in St, George Utah.

So with that being said, we're going to go ahead and jump into this here in just a second, but before we do so, if you think about making a move here to St, George or anywhere here in the southern part of the state, make sure to reach out to my team and I service, the entire State and I would love to help you make that move.

If you're looking to buy, sell, invest in real estate, maybe even purchase a new construction home.

We've got experience in all of that and we would love to help you my informations here on the screen, so call text or email anytime and I cannot wait to hear from you.

This is okay.

Let's go ahead and jump into this and take a look at the map, so I'm going to zoom out here a little bit and just kind of show you a overarching view of the St George area.

Just ignore these little stars on the screen.

They don't really mean much here at this point in time, so for the St George area, you've got Washington County, which kind of covers this entire Southwest portion of the state you've got the Nevada state line over here.

You've got Arizona, State Line, you know right here and to the South, but this Washington County area covers this whole spot right here.

So we're going to start up here in Hurricane.

Yes, it is pronounced hurricane, even though it's spelled hurricane, but something you should know about that.

So you've got hurricane and you've got leverkin up here to the Northeast, so these are going to be areas that are a little bit.

You know kind of smaller town, if you will they kind of have that smaller town feel but they're still relatively close to the St George area.

You're, probably only about you, know, five to ten miles away, depending on where you're going to where you're coming from you know, to get from Hurricane over here to kind of the St George Washington area, so great options here, probably 15 20 minutes as far as the commute time is concerned.

So these are great options if you want kind of that, smaller town feel.

This is something that you should consider.

You know coming out here to Hurricane there's going to be a couple hundred houses here for the most part, population is quite small here, but it could be a great option.

It is growing like crazy.

You've got the Virgin River, which runs right here through town and then you've also got Sand Hollow down here to the South which we'll talk about as well.

So there's a bunch of options for that type of living.

If that's what you're looking for so something that's, definitely worth considering hurricane and laverkin, there's a bunch of other smaller towns here that you can see as well all right.

So if we come over here to the northern part of this area, you've got Washington up here.

On the North side, we've got Sand Hollow, State Park, a really popular boating area.

A lot of people like to go out here and just kind of hang out by the lake.

So that's something you can do out here.

You do have a couple of resorts here that are close to Sand Hollow and you've got the Sand Hollow Resort.

Here you can see the golf course here.

The other thing that people, if you do or do not know about St George, is that there's so many golf courses.

In fact, there's probably too many golf courses here in the area.

That's a story for another day, but you can just see golf courses splattered throughout the entire metro area.

You've got Coral Canyon up here.

You've got Green Spring over here in the Green Valley area and there's developments all the way around.

So if you're looking for some type of home that like backs up to a golf course, that is something you can definitely achieve here in St George.

You can see all these homes that back up along this golf course, so that's something that's pretty unique to St George A lot of people like it.

Some people are not going to like it and that's totally.

Okay, it just depends on your own personal preference, so here on the north end of town a lot of times, if you're coming down from northern Utah you're going to be coming down, I-15 here and you're going to run into a couple of developments here in Washington now this area is growing like absolute Wildfire.

The thing about St George is you've, got I-15, this yellow Road here that runs right through the center of town and this kind of divides it from the northwest side over here to the southeast side and a lot of the growth and Commercial development has happened along this I-15 Corridor, so anytime, you're close to one of these areas, you're going to see a lot of that development.

So again, here's I-15 and you can see, there's a big commercial development right here.

This is where you've got.

Costco you've got the Albertsons, which is a grocery store.

You've got Walmart Kohl's, there's a bunch of fast food places and even a couple mom and pop restaurants as well.

Well, so that's something worth noting you're going to find a lot of that commercial development along the I-15 Corridor along those same lines as you come down here from the North End you're, going to run into some different developments right.

So you've got right up here off of I think this is exit.

13 I want to say: you've got a lot of development going in here, there's going to be a new Auto Mall down in this area.

You've got more development going in up here for houses, commercial stuff, there's just a lot of options, and you can see that there's a bunch of houses up here as well over here by Heritage Park, so lots of developments there in Washington and if we come down here to the kind of the south east side.

This is also considered Washington over here Washington fields and you can see there's still a lot of Farmland right.

A lot of this is being developed.

If we come over here and take a look at this, you can see that you've got all these roads going in here, so they're going to be building new construction here in these areas, so these different fields are going to be converted to housing most for the most part.

You know some commercial development, some parts and stuff like that, but mostly housing for these areas here, so there's still a lot of growth to happen here in the middle of St George.

The other thing that you have to know about St George, it's a little hard to tell here on this map.

But if we kind of zoom in here you can see this is almost 3D.

You can see kind of how this road loops around here and you can see that you've got these little Hills, these little mountains kind of spread throughout the St George area, and these are going to be Bluffs right.

Even in this area, you can see that this kind of sits up on top of a bluff, and these are areas that are basically just Hills that stick out of the ground that you have to drive around right.

So, if you're in this area, this is crossing the Virgin River, so not exactly the same thing, but you've got these kind of natural obstacles that you have to get around in order to get around the city.

If you're coming down here on Washington Fields Road, you do have to go around these mountains.

So there's a lot of that stuff, especially here in Washington, where you'll find these little Bluffs that you have to drive around in order to get to the other side of town.

So if you live over here and you're coming over here to let's say, Downtown St George you're gonna have to drive through some of these connecting roads in order to do so.

So this part right here this is gonna- be kind of the more established older part of how I guess you'd say.

Washington Washington is actually really a little bit further north.

This is coming down here into Middleton.

We've got Red, Cliffs Mall, again big shopping center there.

So there's a lot going on there and then you come over here, and this takes you to St George Boulevard.

So this is kind of downtown St.

George.

We've done a number of videos here in this area here on the channel.

If you want to check those out, you can search them on my channel, but this is going to be downtown St George a lot of traffic in here.

This is where kind of a lot of the touristy areas are, and they also have the Utah Tech University, and you also have Dixie just down here.

You've got Dixie High School right there, so there is a college presence here in this area, and this is kind of like the original part of St George right.

This is where there's going to be a lot of locals.

This is where there's going to be a lot of people.

Who've lived there for a long time and there's going to be a fair amount of things going on in this General vicinity.

If we come down here a little bit further, you can also see that there's just more and more development.

The airport is right here by the way, just in case anybody's wondering- and you do have Southern Parkway- that kind of wraps around this whole Southern and Eastern side.

So this is the cool thing about it.

As the area continues to develop, and you know expand outward you're going to have Southern Parkway will take you all the way up here, and it will even connect you over here into hurricane, so you can come from Hurricane all the way down here to the South Edge without having to go through the main part of town.

So if we continue on down here on this Eastern southern side of town, you can see there's a lot more of that same stuff, that we've seen right.

You've got a lot of these Bluffs you've got these different areas that are going to be developed over time.

You've got some houses and stuff going in here.

You know different development manufacturing, warehouses.

Things like that out here in this area and then you're also going to have you know some little Trail heads right here in town right, you've got aspiration, Trail, which is right here, great little easy hiking spot right here in the middle of town.

So that's the thing that people love about living in St George.

If you want to get Outdoors, it's basically, you know, walk out your door and walk five minutes in any direction and you're going to be on a Trailhead of some sort.

So it's super easy to get around and there's also very, very easy access to the outdoor.

So this is another area that is really popular, especially as a retirement area.

Sun River right here, a lot of retirement homes in this area, and then you also have down here.

You've got desert color, which is really actually pretty cool, so this actually doesn't even show up on the map, but you can see all these roads here coming in on the map.

This is a huge master plan.

Development that comes all the way down here to the Utah Arizona border and I mean there's just tons of houses going in here and look how surreal this looks guys.

This is like literally a man-made lake or pool basically that this is what it looks like like.

It really has this color here's a picture of one of the clubhouses and just absolutely gorgeous right.

They've really put a lot of money into this, really super cool area.

If you're thinking about making a move to St George, here's kind of a rendering I would definitely consider this as an area that you should look at because there's going to be a lot of development going in and this is going to be really kind of that master planned area where they've got the lake here, they've got tennis and pickleball over here, they're going to have a gym they're going to have tons of things to do for everybody in the family.

So that's a really cool feature here about desert color.

So I just wanted to kind of point that out here.

That's down here on the south end of town and the cool thing about this is like let's say you live in or you live in desert color and you want to go to St George Boulevard.

You know for some shopping or some food or something like that.

I mean it's like what it's going to be like 10, 15 minutes, most yeah, so 13 minutes, a nine mile drive down here to downtown St George and the reality is you're, probably not going to ever have to go downtown unless you specifically want to so, even if you're coming all the way from the south end of town, maybe even up here into Washington.

If we just move this up here from the south end to the north, end of town is 13 minutes right, so you can go north to south from one end of town to the other in about 15 minutes, depending on, where you're going to and where you're coming from.

So that's a really cool thing: I love about St George super easy to get around, even if you're going east to west.

It's only about 30 minutes.

You can get from over here in Ivan, Santa Clara area over here to the east side, Washington fields in about 30 minutes give or take.

So let's come up here and talk a little bit about these areas, so we already talked about Downtown St George.

This is kind of older part of town over here you've got Santa, Clara and Ivan.

So these two areas, you know Ivan's years ago, kind of used to be like way out in the boonies right like if you lived in.

If you lived on Ivins back, then you kind of really live pretty far out of town, but now it's really not that bad.

Actually, there's a lot of growth happening out there.

You can see how much open space there is and how many developments are going in in this area.

So Ivins has grown like crazy and it's actually becoming a pretty nice area, because it was historically kind of that area that not a lot of people lived.

It wasn't the nicest area you know 20 30 years ago, however, that's kind of turning around and there's a lot of people moving out there, because you get a super quiet lifestyle, it's really nice.

The views are absolutely phenomenal and you do actually sit in here, even just over here.

Just kind of into the hillside here show you this street view map of what it looks like, so you can be driving down the road got.

This walking trail here along the edge, and this is what you're looking at right.

Just this beautiful red rock scenery.

This is looking back kind of towards the southeast back into downtown St George.

So again, if we're over here, let's just zoom out here and we're gonna come over here.

There's a lot of houses going in here and you can get some really really cool views, looking back towards downtown St, George or even just looking at the beautiful red rock scenery.

So you can't see it in the picture here.

But if you were here in person, you'd be able to kind of see the city lights out there, and then this is looking up in your backyard right here, so really cool views there in Ivins definitely an area to consider.

If you want something a little bit further out of town- and you don't mind a you know, five ten minute longer commute.

That could be something that's worth considering: Santa Clara kind of the same thing, a little bit older of an area.

It is more established.

You do have some of those same Bluffs, but not as many as you do kind of over in the Washington area.

But you do have this these different Trails here and again, just golf course after Golf Course here in the area, so that kind of wraps up the video guys here on some different areas to consider living in when it comes to St, George, I, hope you enjoyed this video if you did make sure to share it with a friend or family member.

Maybe it's your spouse! Maybe it's your kids, your mom or dad who's.
