Santa Clara Heights Homes for Sale

Santa Clara Heights, nestled in Southern Utah, offers stunning hilltop views of red rock formations, mountains, and desert landscapes. Located one mile north of downtown Santa Clara and seven miles from St. George, this neighborhood is part of one of the region's oldest towns, founded in 1854. Known as the 'Garden Spot' of Washington County, it features a mix of established older homes and newer properties, with large lots and winding roads. Home styles range from ranch-style and contemporary designs to Spanish-inspired residences. While the neighborhood itself lacks shopping and dining options, nearby Royal Thai Cuisine Express 89 and Mo’Bettahs provide diverse culinary experiences. Harmons Grocery-Santa Clara offers groceries and cooking classes, and Frei’s Market is a local produce stand. Nearby parks include Canyon View Park, Swiss Pioneer Memorial Park, and Archie H. Gubler Park, offering playgrounds, sports fields, and picnic areas. The Lava Flow Trail, a 2.3-mile paved path, is ideal for cyclists and hikers. The area is safer than the national average and has a bike-friendly layout with sidewalks connecting subdivisions. Major roads include Santa Clara Drive and North Canyon View Drive, with most residents enjoying a short commute to Washington or St. George. However, the neighborhood faces wildfire risks due to extreme temperatures and strong winds, with local efforts in place to mitigate potential damage.
