Bloomington Hills
Neighborhood in Saint George, Utah
Washington County 84790
An established community with beautiful views and curving streets
The Bloomington Hills development began in the 1980s, and homes are still being built today. This gives the area a unique blend of housing styles, including traditional and updated ranch-style dwellings and contemporary designs. The houses were built in the hills for spectacular views of the course and Southern Utah’s red sandstone hills, towering mountains and desert landscapes. Manicured lawns and mature landscaping line the gently curving streets and cul-de-sacs. There aren’t many houses for sale at one time in the community, so buying here can take some planning. Homes sell for a median price of $540,000 after 43 days on the market. Ranch-style dwellings sell from $475,000 to $650,000, while contemporary designs range from $775,000 to $1 million.
Fairways, flowers and neighborhood parks
St. George Golf Club is a 7,200-yard 18-hole municipal course in the center of Bloomington Hills. Winding through the Ft. Pearce Wash, the course has traditional greens and has been part of the St. George community for over 30 years. Bloomington Hills Park is known locally as ‘Circle Park’ thanks to its round shape. It’s in the neighborhood’s southern portion and has a playground, picnic shelter and open spaces. Bloomington Hills Park North, on the other hand, is often called ‘Long Park’ due to its half-mile length. It covers 10 acres and has a walking trail that splits into two loops. It’s also a hub for several trails running along the Virgin River. White Dome Nature Preserve lies four miles south of the neighborhood. The 800-acre wilderness reserve is open year-round and is home to the dwarf bear poppy, an endangered plant only found in Washington County. Five miles of hiking trails snake through the desert and are designed to show off the unique flowers in its natural environment. There's also the Bloomington Hills Duck Pond, a popular wildlife-watching spot.
Highly rated schools with diverse programs
Niche B-plus-rated Bloomington Hills Elementary believes in educating the entire child and provides hands-on learning, art courses and a dedicated social skills program. A-minus Sunrise Ridge Intermediate uses evidence-based grading instead of traditional letter grades. The one-through-four scale shows if students are mastering core concepts and provides more feedback from teachers. A-minus Desert Hills Middle opened in 2007 and operates the Thunder Gazette, a monthly newspaper produced by its journalism class. A-minus Desert Hills High is a top ten Utah high school for athletes, according to Niche. It offers soccer, golf, tennis and swimming teams, alongside a dozen more.
Short commutes on nearby freeways
The neighborhood has a network of gently winding streets in each section and is connected by Bloomington Hills Drive. River Road borders one edge of the area, and Interstate 15 is easily accessible using East Brigham Road. This is a car-dependent area where nearly 70% of commuters travel less than 15 minutes one way daily to work in St. George or Washington. The neighborhood has no public transportation, and the only bike lanes are around Bloomington Hills North Park. Walking can be problematic in the subdivisions due to sporadic sidewalks. The community is 3.6 miles from St. George Regional Hospital-River Road and seven miles from the St. George Regional Airport.
Sweet treats, specialty grocers and shopping centers
The community doesn’t have retail stores or eateries, but plenty are nearby. Just to the east of Bloomington Hills South, Royal Thai Cuisine Express makes Southeast Asian dishes in an exhibition kitchen so guests can watch the chefs. Across the parking lot, Snelgrove Ice Cream makes delicious confections from nearly century-old family recipes. Just above the neighborhood, the Asian Market Company has been serving Southern Utah for over a decade. The store carries specialty ingredients from China, Vietnam, India and a half-dozen other countries. Harmons Neighborhood Grocer is 3.5 miles north of Bloomington Hills. The regional chain provides locals with fresh produce, pantry items and household goods. Just over five miles away, the Shoppes at Zion and Red Cliffs Mall offer a variety of retailers, restaurants and entertainment options.
Heat and Wildfire risks
Bloomington Hills is at risk of wildfires and extreme heat. The two can occur together, with severe temperatures sometimes igniting blazes, but they can also happen separately. To protect against wildfires, the city ensures buildings are up to current construction standards, flammable materials are kept away from houses and water reserves are kept above a minimum level. To escape extreme heat, residents are encouraged to carry water for hydration and to seek shade or shelter during the hottest parts of the day.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
