Growing community between national parks and St. George, Utah
Among the stunning landscapes of Southern Utah, Santa Clara Heights rises above the rest with hilltop views of nearby red rock formations, mountains and the desert. This residential neighborhood rests one mile north of downtown Santa Clara and seven miles from St. George. The community is part of one of the oldest towns in the region and was founded in 1854 by Jacob Hamblin, a missionary for Brigham Young. Now known as the ‘Garden Spot’ of Washington County, the steadily growing neighborhood is near lava fields and the Santa Clara River, making it especially attractive to outdoor enthusiasts. “Santa Clara Heights is a desirable community with unique properties and scenic views. It’s not cookie-cutter. There are established, older homes but new ones, too. It’s spread out, and it’s one of the only places in the area where you get big trees,” says JD Reese, a Realtor with Red Rock Real Estate with nearly a decade of experience.
Established and newer hilltop homes mingle along winding streets
Well-maintained houses, large lots and quiet streets make Santa Clara Heights a popular place to be. Homebuyers can choose from ranch-style homes, contemporary designs and Spanish-inspired residences among winding roads and cul-de-sacs. “Santa Clara Heights is popular with locals because it’s less congested than some nearby areas. It’s more laid-back, less commercial, and it’s a great place to raise a family. People move in and want to stay there, so there are generational purchases from one family member to another,” says Brian Hickman, a Realtor and associate broker with Realty Executives of Southern Utah and more than 20 years of experience. “There are a lot of ramblers with basements, but different sections of the neighborhood were built at different times. Some are still being built.” Homes sell for a median price of $533,000 after 55 days on the market, although the entire price range is more extensive. Ranch-style houses range from $470,000 to $670,000, while contemporary homes range from $850,000 to $1.8 million.
