Townhomes at Cedar Reserve

Buying a townhome here is a different decision than buying a house on its own lot. What you get is a newer home that takes less upkeep, with an attached garage and a small yard that is fully fenced. It sits near the corner of 3100 West and 1600 North, with Cedar City Regional Airport just to the south. From there, Lund Highway carries you back toward Main Street stores, groceries, and I-15 without going through the middle of town.

You are weighing square footage and a detached lot against a finished, newly built home, an attached garage, and a shorter list of things to maintain. The rest of this page covers what that looks like and what to read before you sign.

Cedar Reserve sits on Cedar City's northwest side, near the corner of 3100 West and 1600 North. It is along Lund Highway, northwest of Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC), which is about two to three miles from downtown, off Aviation Way. This is a newer area of new homes, not an established, tree-lined block. The roads are wider, building is still going on along the surrounding streets, and open ground is still filling in to the west.

The difference that matters most is the kind of home. Nearby growth on this side of town includes detached homes on their own lots, but these are attached townhomes. They have their own recent sales to compare against, so I never price one off the other. I check the Cedar Reserve label and the unit type on the MLS before any sale counts as a match.

These are new-construction townhomes from a local Cedar City building team. The published plans start with a two-bedroom, 2.5-bath unit. It is 1,289 square feet, has a one-car garage, and is priced from $274,800. Above that sit two three-bedroom, 2.5-bath plans. One is an interior unit near 1,648 square feet, priced from $301,800. The other is an end unit near 1,650 square feet, priced from $309,800. Both have a two-car garage. I check which plan you are looking at and whether the unit is interior or end before comparing price per square foot.

Finishes run to quartz counters, luxury vinyl plank flooring, nine-foot ceilings on the main floor, soft-close cabinets, and a fully fenced backyard. The shared wall between units is a shaft-liner wall (a fire-rated wall system made for attached homes). Builder pricing moves by phase and by what is already under contract, so I check the live number against the current price sheet and the MLS before anyone leans on it.

Cedar Reserve is in the Iron County School District. This corner of the northwest side sits between a few elementary attendance areas (the streets each school serves). The district approved boundary changes for six Cedar City elementaries, including North and Iron Springs, that take effect for the 2026-27 school year. Because those lines are changing, I am not naming a specific elementary here. For middle and high school, Cedar City has two zones: Cedar Middle and Cedar High, or Canyon View Middle and Canyon View High. Those middle and high school boundaries are set to shift on their own schedule, for the 2027-28 year. Check the current elementary, middle, and high school assignment with the district, by address, for any unit you are serious about.

For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself. Southern Utah University is about 10 minutes away across town.

What sets Cedar Reserve apart is where two roads take you: Lund Highway and SR-56. Heading south puts you at Cedar City Regional Airport in a few minutes, which is useful for the commuter flights to Salt Lake City. Heading northwest on the same road, then onto 3100 West, is the marked route out to Three Peaks Recreation Area, which the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) runs. It is roughly ten miles from town and covers more than twenty-five miles of mountain-bike singletrack (narrow trails), OHV (off-road vehicle) trails, and bouldering on the desert floor. Most Cedar City neighborhoods reach Three Peaks by crossing town first. This one starts most of the way there.

There is a catch, and it comes from that same fact. Living within a few minutes of a regional airport means occasional aircraft noise. This is also still an active new-construction area, so expect ongoing road and utility work on the surrounding blocks as later phases are built. Neither is unusual for a growing edge of a small city, but both are worth a drive-by at different times of day before you commit to a specific unit.
