Spacious lots in a Southern Utah suburb
Five miles from downtown St. George, the Virgin River Valley’s natural beauty attracts residents to the tranquil community of Bloomington Ranches. The neighborhood offers large lots and stunning views of the surrounding mountains and red rock formations. Located near St. George’s southern border, the neighborhood is home to the Man O War Bridge, the only river crossing in the area. This bedroom community lies close to several golf courses, including a private members course in the adjacent Bloomington Country Club neighborhood. Bloomington Ranches began expanding in the 1980s, and homes are still being built today. “Bloomington Ranch is a desirable residential area with easy access to Interstate 15. It’s great for outdoor enthusiasts and has lots of hiking trails and nearby parks. And residents can have horses there,” says Malissa Kelsch, a real estate agent with Think Realty with nearly 20 years of experience. Near miles of undeveloped land, Bloomington Ranches is a suburban enclave within the St. George city limits.
Large estates with mature trees are common in the Bloomington Ranches neighborhood.
Large lots, open space and established housing
One of the most distinct features of Bloomington Ranches is its large lots, many of which are an acre or more. This extra space makes room for well-maintained lawns, landscaping, and some estate-style homes with up to seven bedrooms. There are also traditional ranch-styles and some newer contemporary designs. “Bloomington Ranches is an older community, but it’s up-and-coming again because it has great access to everything, and there are fewer restrictions than in the rest of St. George. People can have horses and ATVs in the Ranches. There’s more elbow room. People like it for the outdoor elements, and it’s a more carefree lifestyle,” says Julie Millett, a Realtor with eXp Realty with nearly a decade of experience. The neighborhood has no overarching homeowner's association, but specific subdivisions have their own HOAs. Homes sell for a median price of $685,000 after 36 days on the market. Ranch-style homes sell for between $500,000 and $1 million, while traditional and contemporary estates begin around $1.3 million and continue to nearly $2 million.

The only bus stop in the neighborhood is by Walmart, and there are no designated bike lanes, although cyclists still use the residential streets. Sidewalks run through many of the subdivisions. The neighborhood is five miles from the St. George Regional Hospital-River Road and 11 miles from the St. George Regional Airport.
Bloomington Hills Park offers a dedicated bike pathway for locals to explore.
Sports parks, trails and ancient carvings
Bloomington Park sits at the western edge of Bloomington Ranches and covers 27 acres. There are softball fields, a covered playground and a lighted basketball court. A disc golf course and walking trails round out the green space’s offerings. Bloomington Aspiration Trail began in 2014 when two people began hand-clearing a two-mile path in Utah’s red sandstone hills. Today, that trail has become a connected network with extender loops of up to three-quarters of a mile. Across the river in the Bloomington Country Club subdivision, Bloomington Petroglyph Park is a micro-site preserving ancient rock drawings made by the area’s Native Americans centuries ago. The large boulder is decorated with human and animal figures, and guests can approach the carvings for pictures. Bloomington Ranches is also 37 miles from Zion National Park, a massive preserve with hiking trails, archeological sites and camping opportunities.
Walmart is the closest store for all essentials in the Bloomington Ranches neighborhood.
Neighborhood eateries and nearby shopping centers
There are only a handful of restaurants in the neighborhood, but places like Peppers Cantina and Tiki Island give hungry locals delicious options. Tiki Island Restaurant offers a refreshing and tasty take on Hawaiian cuisine with rice noodle bowls and traditional roast pork. Peppers Cantina is a Mexican eatery making everything from scratch, from the chips and salsa to the hand-rolled tamales. Walmart sits at the northern edge of Bloomington Ranches and provides locals with groceries and household goods. Two miles away in Atkinville, Smith’s Marketplace has fresh produce and pantry items. The Shoppes at Zion and the Shops at Green Gate Village are less than six miles away, and each has numerous retailers, eateries and entertainment options. The Shops at Green Gate Village even have a historic general store called Judd’s, the oldest operating business in St. George.
Wildfire and flooding risks
Bloomington Ranches is at risk of wildfires and flash floods. Wildfires are fast-moving blazes spurred by high winds and extreme temperatures. Flash flooding occurs when heavy rain falls over a short period, causing walls of fast-moving water that can push cars off roadways. To combat these natural disasters, the city ensures buildings are up to current construction codes, flammable debris is kept away from houses and water reserves are kept at their required minimum.
