A restored historic town center in a quickly growing city
Founded in 1861 as a cotton mission, St. George is now the largest city in Southern Utah. Its downtown is a walkable historic district offering residents numerous shopping and dining options, public art installations and views of distant mountains. “St. George has a small-town feel, but it’s one of the fastest growing towns in America. I grew up there when there was only one stoplight downtown. The city’s been investing in it, so it’s a charming spot with lots of restaurants and shopping and an old, converted movie theatre,” says Malissa Kelsch, a real estate agent with Think Realty with 18 years of experience. The seat of Washington County, St. George is surrounded by hills of vibrant red rock and close to several state and national parks. Downtown is also near Utah Tech University and has a moderate noise level from foot and vehicular traffic.
St. George was founded in 1861, and was initially known as Utah's Dixie.
The Green Gate Village is right at the heart of Historic Downtown in St. George.

Limited housing among historic buildings
Homebuyers won’t find rows of houses in the more commercial downtown district despite the area being primarily residential until the early 1900s. In the 1930s, many homes were torn down, and new commercial buildings were put up instead. The businesses remain, and a limited number of condos and townhouses have risen to replace more traditional houses. “St. George is unique. Its downtown is older than most of the region, and the houses are generally from the 1960s and ‘70s. They might need a bit of work, but people gravitate to the combination of a lower price point and an older style of home,” says Cody Steck, a Realtor with Real Broker and a decade of experience. The remaining single-family dwellings were built close to the streets to allow for a large backyard and vegetable garden. Today, citizens are encouraged to save water by replacing traditional lawns with eco-friendly landscaping. Townhouses sell for between $300,000 and $400,000, while older homes start around $275,000 and continue to $400,000.
Rustic and refined recreation options
The city maintains over 20 parks and 60 miles of paved trails, and green spaces of various sizes are all around downtown. Town Square Park is near the center of downtown and has a prominent water feature, a splash pad and a functioning antique carousel. Slightly outside the neighborhood, Vernon Worthen Park invites guests to play on one of four pickleball courts, the playground or the disc golf course. Pioneer Park is just north of downtown and covers 52 acres of rustic landscape. Visitors can climb the red sandstone hills, visit a pioneer-era cabin or rest at one of the trellised pavilions. Downtown is also 33 miles from Zion National Park, a massive preserve with multi-use trails, archeological sites and stunning scenery. “Downtown is within 45 minutes of Snow Canyon State Park and Zion National Park, and there’s lots of hiking. It’s an outdoor enthusiast's mecca, and the Ironman 70.3 North American Championship put us on an international stage,” says Kelsch.

Historic Latter Day Saints landmarks
The striking white stone St. George Utah Temple was completed in 1877, making it the first LDS temple in Utah and the third in the nation. It still holds regular services and has become an important local landmark. Guests are welcome to tour the temple grounds and visitor’s center but are asked not to enter the church itself. Another important site for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the Brigham Young Winter Home and Office. President Young lived in the two-story home in the winter months from 1870 to 1877. LDS missionaries give house tours throughout the week, although appointments should be confirmed by phone beforehand.
Wide roads for bikes, buses and cars
Getting around the compact downtown area is designed to be as simple as possible. Wide roads and sidewalks allow people to enjoy an afternoon on foot or bike comfortably. At the same time, several bus routes run through the neighborhood to take locals throughout the city, including the two miles to the Innovation Medical Group St. George Medical Center or the 12 miles to the St. George Regional Airport. Driving throughout the city and region is made more accessible by nearby major roadways like the Red Hills Parkway, Bluff Street and Interstate 15.
Historic buildings, European bakeries and shopping centers
Ancestor Square is a charming collection of restored shops, galleries and restaurants, like George’s Corner Restaurant & Pub, in the center of downtown. Other nearby dining options include Bear Paw Cafe and Farmstead. Bear Paw Cafe has been making waffles, crepes and omelets from the founder’s original recipes since 1995. Farmstead is a European-style bakery making delicate pastries and hearty sandwiches. It has a large patio for guests to enjoy a chai and some people-watching. One block away, The Shops at Green Gate Village are a residential and commercial space with a historic general store, a book bungalow and a classic barbershop. The St. George Opera House sits next to the St. George Art Museum on East 200 N Street. The opera house was built in 1875 and is now a black-box theatre. The art museum now holds rotating and permanent exhibitions but was built to house sugar beets in the 1930s. To feed the body after the eyes, Smith’s grocery store is a half-mile from downtown and has a pharmacy in addition to pantry staples and produce.
The St. George Utah Temple is a breathtaking sight that attracts many tourists.
A wide array of delicious pastries are waiting at Farmstead.

Wildfire risk
All of Southern Utah is at risk of wildfires, and St. George is no exception. The town works to protect its citizens by ensuring buildings meet current construction codes, flammable debris is removed from around them and water reserves are kept at the proper levels.
