A Cedar City community
Living in Legacy Park.
A recorded subdivision on the southwest side of town, built out mostly from the late 1990s into the early 2000s along Legacy Park Avenue, Holly Circle, and 546 South. Cedar City's own plat records place a later phase at Mesa Hills, and the lots here sit large enough that slope, basement light, and driveway grade are part of the conversation before you buy.
I am Scott Buehler. I have called Southern Utah home for 20-plus years, and Legacy Park is one of those Cedar City streets where the recorded plat and the exact lot matter more than any citywide average.

Fed straight from the MLS and limited to homes inside the community: new Legacy Park listings appear here the day they list, and sold homes drop off. I pin the search to the recorded subdivision rather than a broad city pull, so the boundary matches the plat.

Life in Legacy Park
A settled southwest-side street with its own plat.
Legacy Park is a recorded Cedar City subdivision, not just a nickname for a stretch of the west side. Cedar City's own subdivision map lists Legacy Park Phases 1 through 5, and ties the later phase to the Mesa Hills area. Homes here line Legacy Park Avenue itself, Holly Circle, and 546 South, mostly in the 2200 to 2400 West range, and most of them went in from the late 1990s into the early 2000s. The trees have had two-plus decades to fill out and the streets have their sidewalks, curbs, and gutters long since settled.
The lots run large enough, and the ground slopes enough, that a walkout or daylight basement shows up on a good share of floor plans. The Cedar City Aquatic Center sits a short distance away on Royal Hunte Drive, and at least one recent Legacy Park listing described the home as next door to a private community park, so green space is part of the immediate picture even before you count the citywide trail network.
When I walk a buyer through this street, I watch the same things I would on any sloped Cedar City lot: which way the grade faces, how the basement gets its light, and whether the driveway clears itself in winter. Those details separate two homes that look identical in a search result.
Neighborhood highlights
What sits within a few minutes of Legacy Park.
Cedar City Aquatic Center
The city's year-round indoor swim facility on Royal Hunte Drive: lap pool, lazy river, water slide, hot tub, splash playground, and a full schedule of lessons and water classes, a short drive from the street.
A recorded, named plat
Legacy Park Subdivision runs to five phases on Cedar City's own subdivision map, with the later phase recorded at Mesa Hills. That is worth knowing before anyone tells you it is just an informal label.
Iron Hills singletrack
Purpose-built BLM singletrack for bikes, boots, and trail runners on the south bench, including the climb to the white "C." I check the exact route from the actual street before I call it close.
Three Peaks Recreation Area
A BLM-managed recreation area northwest of town off West Mid-valley Road, with mountain biking, day-use space, and disc golf. The wider trail picture is in the section below.
A short run to town
Main Street, Southern Utah University, and the south I-15 interchange are all a short drive out, so a sloped lot here does not cost you the day every time you run an errand. The drive table has the specifics.
A private community park next door
At least one Legacy Park listing has described its position as next door to a private community park. I confirm current access and the exact parcel line for any specific home rather than assuming.
Homes & lots
Late-1990s to early-2000s homes on southwest-side lots.
Legacy Park is mostly single-family homes built from the late 1990s into the early 2000s, with parcel records showing lots generally a little under a quarter acre. Recorded sales on the street have ranged from about 1,600 square feet up past 4,900 square feet, with several homes running three stories and three-car garages once you get toward the top of that range. A good share of floor plans use the grade for a walkout or daylight basement, which is the quiet bonus of a sloped lot: more usable space and more light on the lower level than a flat-lot version of the same roofline.
Because the homes follow the terrain rather than a fixed grid, square footage, finish level, and yard usability swing from one address to the next even on the same street. If a specific view direction, slope, or basement layout matters to you, tell me early and I will watch for it in the search.
On a sloped lot, two homes a hundred feet apart can live very differently.
One lot-picking note from twenty years of Iron County winters: pay attention to which way the driveway faces. South-facing concrete clears itself between storms. Shaded north-facing pockets hold ice longer, and on a grade, that is worth knowing before you fall for a floor plan.
Trails & outdoors
From a walk after dinner to a whole day out.
Legacy Park sits close enough to the south bench and the west-side recreation land that the outdoor menu ranges from a short walk to a half-day trip, all without much drive time. Here is the honest tiering, from walk-from-home to day trip.
Cedar City Aquatic Center (walk or short drive)
On Royal Hunte Drive, a short distance from Legacy Park Avenue: lap pool, lazy river, water slide, and a full lesson schedule, the closest recreation amenity to the street.
Iron Hills singletrack (short drive)
BLM-built singletrack on the south bench, including the climb to the white "C" overlooking town. A quick trip from the southwest side.
Coal Creek Trail
The paved trail follows the creek across town from the downtown core, an easy add-on once you are already headed toward Main Street.
Three Peaks Recreation Area (day out)
Northwest of town off West Mid-valley Road, the BLM's Three Peaks area opens up mountain-bike singletrack, OHV trails, and disc golf on the desert floor.
Farther out, State Route 14 climbs east into the high country toward Cedar Breaks National Monument, a seasonal drive once the high road clears for the year, and Brian Head's ski runs sit north via Parowan. The full day-trip map lives in the Cedar City guide.
Trail details come from Cedar City's parks and trails pages and the BLM. The wider outdoor picture is in the Cedar City guide.
Errands & drive times
Errands run back toward town, measured in minutes.
Legacy Park sits close enough to Cedar City's main grid that most normal errands point back toward Main Street, Providence Center, and the south I-15 interchange. Times below are estimates measured from near Legacy Park Avenue; confirm door-to-door for any specific address.
| The errand | Where it happens | From Legacy Park |
|---|---|---|
| Pool & rec center | Cedar City Aquatic Center, Royal Hunte Dr | ~4 min |
| Grocery run | Lin's Fresh Market, 150 N Main St | ~8 min |
| Second grocery option | Smith's Food & Drug, 633 S Main St | ~6 min |
| Big-box & hardware | Walmart Supercenter / Home Depot, Providence Center | ~7 min |
| Campus & downtown | Southern Utah University / historic Main Street | ~8 min |
| Healthcare | Cedar City Hospital, 1303 N Main St | ~9 min |
| Freeway on-ramp | I-15 Exit 57, Cross Hollow Rd | ~6 min |
| Flights | Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC) | ~10 min |
| West-side trails | Three Peaks Recreation Area, W Mid-valley Rd | ~14 min |
Farther out, the freeway does the work: Zion's Kolob Canyons gate is about 25 minutes south on I-15, Brian Head's ski runs are roughly 35 to 40 minutes north via Parowan, and St. George is about 50 to 55 minutes. The full day-trip map lives in the Cedar City guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Legacy Park is part of the Iron County School District. Recorded MLS records for homes on this street have listed Cedar South Elementary (grades K-5), Cedar Middle School, and Cedar City High School, all on the district's south and central side of town. The district has boundary changes moving through Cedar City for the next two school years, including a new elementary building and a Canyon View High expansion, so I always confirm the current assignment for any specific address directly with the district rather than assuming it stays fixed.
For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself. Southern Utah University is a short drive away for anyone pairing a home search with campus life.
I cover the bigger education picture, including SUU, in the Cedar City guide.
Reading the recorded plat
Why the name on the map actually matters.
Cedar City carries a lot of informal neighborhood nicknames that never made it onto an actual plat. Legacy Park is not one of them. The city's own subdivision map lists Legacy Park Subdivision through five separate phases, and the fifth phase is recorded at Mesa Hills, which is why you will sometimes see this street described as part of that broader southwest-side area. County parcel records for homes on Legacy Park Avenue confirm the same subdivision name, so a buyer or seller here is dealing with a real, documented plat rather than a marketing label.
That distinction matters in practice. When I price a home here, I start from the recorded subdivision field on the parcel and the MLS, not from a loose "west side" label that might sweep in a different plat entirely. It also matters for anyone trying to research the street on their own: search for "Legacy Park Subdivision" or the parcel number, not just a general neighborhood name, and you will land on the right records.
I would rather hand a buyer the accurate, boring version of this than a tidier story that does not hold up against the county's own map.
What locals know
Notes from the southwest side.
No listing photo tells you this part. After more than 20 years in Southern Utah, here is what I would tell a friend looking at Legacy Park.
-
Confirm the recorded subdivision. Legacy Park is a real, documented plat, and the county parcel field is the fastest way to confirm any specific home actually sits inside it.
-
Slope changes the comparison. Walkout basement, driveway angle, and yard usability can matter as much as square footage. Two similar-looking homes can be priced apart for good reason.
-
The errands stay close. The pool, groceries, and the freeway on-ramp all sit a handful of minutes away, so this side of town does not cost you extra time on a normal day.
-
Schools are address-specific. The current secondary boundaries are shifting over the next two school years, so I run the exact address by the district before anyone counts on a specific school.

Straight answers for Legacy Park buyers and sellers.
Buying in Legacy Park
Legacy Park sits on the southwest side of Cedar City, in the Mesa Hills area, along Legacy Park Avenue, Holly Circle, and 546 South in the 2200 to 2400 West range. Cedar City's own subdivision records list it as Legacy Park Subdivision, Phases 1 through 5, with Phase V recorded at Mesa Hills.
Single-family homes built mostly from the late 1990s into the early 2000s, generally on lots a little under a quarter acre. The grade means a good share of floor plans use a walkout or daylight basement, and homes here have run from roughly 1,600 square feet up past 4,900 square feet.
Cedar City's subdivision plat records tie Legacy Park's later phase to Mesa Hills, and it sits in that general southwest-side area. It is also its own recorded subdivision with its own name and plat, not just an informal nickname, so I confirm the recorded subdivision field for any specific home.
It moves with lot size, view, finished square footage, and basement layout, so the range is wide. Recent activity on the street has generally landed in the mid $500,000s to the $700,000s. Treat that as a starting point and confirm against the live listings.
Yes. The Iron Hills trail system and the climb to the white "C" are on the south bench a few minutes away, and the Three Peaks Recreation Area, a BLM site off West Mid-valley Road, adds mountain biking and OHV trails a short drive northwest. The Cedar City Aquatic Center on Royal Hunte Drive is close by as well, and at least one Legacy Park listing has described sitting next to a private community park.
