Centerfield is a small rural community near the La Sal Mountains
Incorporated in 1907, Centerfield was named for its Gunnison Valley location between the San Pitch Mountains and the La Sal Mountains, a popular recreation site nearby. Although it’s technically a city, Centerfield has a small-town atmosphere. The area has a long-enduring cattle presence and remains home to many dairy farms. “I think the biggest reason people move here is because it’s a rural area, and it's a farming community, with a simple way of life,” says owner/broker Robert Childs, who works with Central Utah Professional Realty and has over five decades of experience in the area. The community has a population of approximately 1,400, and its CAP Index Crime Score is a 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
Farming is prominent in Centerfield.
The city of Centerfield is about 2.5 hours north of St. George.

Tacos La Hacienda and more businesses in Gunnison
The countryside community doesn’t have any shopping centers and few businesses. “We do not have much as far as food establishments. People normally go south or north 30 minutes to go out to a really nice restaurant,” Childs says. Centerfield’s only dining spot is Tacos La Hacienda, a food truck with authentic Mexican food and outdoor seating on the area’s north side. Another option is the laidback fast-food restaurant Shelle's, only a mile north of the community. For grocery shopping, Gunnison Market is also about a mile away from Centerfield.
