A Cedar City community
Living in Crescent Hills.
Cedar City's west side, off Cross Hollow Road, the corridor that doubles as Business Loop I-15 between Main Street and the freeway. Alex Meisner Construction broke ground here in 2017 and built the neighborhood out to more than 250 homes before selling the last lot, so what you see on the market today is almost entirely resale, not new construction.
I am Scott Buehler, a Southern Utah resident of 20-plus years and a licensed REALTOR and lender. This is the honest version of what a fully built-out west-side neighborhood offers, what the homes run, and what I would check before you buy or sell here.

Current listings
Homes for sale in Crescent Hills.
Fed straight from the MLS and limited to homes inside the community: new Crescent Hills listings appear here the day they list, and sold homes drop off. Because the neighborhood is fully built out, nearly everything you see here is resale, so I confirm the exact floor plan and any updates before comparing one listing against another.

Life on the west side
One builder, one finished neighborhood.
Crescent Hills sits off Cross Hollow Road on Cedar City's west side. That road is not a quiet side street, it is Business Loop I-15, the same corridor that carries traffic between Main Street and Interstate 15 at Exit 57, which is part of why the neighborhood reaches the rest of town so directly.
Alex Meisner Construction broke ground on Crescent Hills in 2017 and was the subdivision's only builder. Over roughly the following years they built the neighborhood out to more than 250 homes, and it has since sold out: there are no more lots and no more builder inventory. That is the single biggest thing to understand before you compare it to a newer, still-building west-side subdivision. What you are shopping here is a settled, complete neighborhood, not a construction zone.
Architecturally it reads as a consistent, single-builder subdivision: one company's design language across ten-plus floor plans, built out street by street rather than assembled from multiple developers over decades. That consistency is a real trade-off. You get more uniform construction quality and a finished streetscape, but less of the eclectic mix you would find in an older, multi-builder Cedar City neighborhood.
Neighborhood highlights
What stands out on this side of town.
Six things define Crescent Hills specifically: the single builder, the completed build-out, the Business Loop access, the trail nearby, the west-side big-box corridor, and a floor-plan lineup wide enough to fit different household sizes without switching neighborhoods.
One builder, start to finish
Alex Meisner Construction built every home in Crescent Hills from the 2017 groundbreaking through build-out, so the neighborhood shares one construction standard rather than a patchwork of developers.
Fully built out, 250+ homes
The subdivision sold its last lot and is complete. No active construction noise, no unfinished pads nearby, and no builder inventory competing with resale sellers.
Business Loop access, ~5 min to I-15
Cross Hollow Road carries Business Loop I-15 traffic to the Exit 57 diverging-diamond interchange, so getting on the freeway or into the Main Street corridor is a short, direct drive.
Cross Hollow Trail nearby
Cedar City's official multi-use trail system includes a Cross Hollow Trail segment reached from Cross Hollow Road, giving the neighborhood a walkable or short-drive path option most west-side subdivisions cannot claim by name.
Big-box and shopping close by
The Cross Hollow Road corridor near Exit 57 carries Cedar City's cluster of big-box retail and traveler services, so weekly errands stay close without a trip across town.
Ten-plus floor plans, one lineup
The builder released more than ten distinct plans in Crescent Hills, from roughly 1,400 to over 2,100 square feet, which is why household size and layout, not just price, should guide your comparison.
Homes & floor plans
One builder's plan book, now trading as resale.
Every home in Crescent Hills came from Alex Meisner Construction's own plan book, and that book was wide. Documented floor plans include the Dayton, Sonoma, Hayward, Seneca, Dover, Godfrey, Willow, Madison, Espresso, and Dawson, running from roughly 1,412 square feet up to the two-story Seneca at about 2,128 square feet. Most are three bedrooms and two baths with a two-car garage, several offer a third-car option, and a number were built with a basement, which adds real square footage beyond the main-floor number on a listing.
Because the subdivision is sold out, there is no builder base pricing to quote anymore. What matters now is resale activity: recent closed and active listings I have tracked span roughly the high $400,000s to the mid $600,000s, with the spread driven by square footage, whether the basement is finished, garage size, and general condition. A smaller plan without a finished basement and a larger plan with one can carry a six-figure gap even on the same street.
I read every Crescent Hills listing against its actual plan name and finished square footage rather than the bedroom count alone, because two "three-bedroom" homes here can differ by 400 or more square feet depending which plan they started from.
In a single-builder, sold-out subdivision, the plan name tells you more than the address does.
Trails & outdoors
A named trail on the same road.
Cedar City's official multi-use trail network includes a Cross Hollow Trail segment, an easy, mostly flat path reached from Cross Hollow Road itself, the same corridor Crescent Hills sits on. From there, the rest of the city's trail system and the outdoor day-trip menu are a short drive. Here is the honest tiering, from nearest to farthest.
Cross Hollow Trail (easy)
A city-maintained multi-use path along the Cross Hollow Road corridor, open to walkers, runners, and cyclists. It is the closest named trail to the neighborhood and the one I point buyers to first.
Coal Creek Trail, a short drive
Cedar City's longer paved path follows Coal Creek through the heart of town, connecting into the wider trail network once you are off the west side and into the grid.
Southview Trail and the Iron Hills
On the south bench, Southview Trail connects into the Iron Hills BLM trail system, including the climb to the white "C" overlook, for buyers who want dirt singletrack in the mix.
Three Peaks Recreation Area, ~20 min
About twenty minutes northwest, the BLM's Three Peaks area opens onto more than twenty-five miles of mountain-bike singletrack, OHV trails, and bouldering out on the desert floor.
Farther out, the weekend map opens up fast: Brian Head's ski runs are roughly 35 to 40 minutes north via Parowan, Cedar Breaks National Monument is a seasonal drive up State Route 14, and the Kolob Canyons gate of Zion is about 25 minutes south on I-15.
Trail details come from Cedar City's official trails page. The wider outdoor picture, Cedar Breaks and Brian Head included, is in the Cedar City guide.
Errands & drive times
Errands, measured from the corridor.
This is the practical answer to "how far is everything from over here." Because Cross Hollow Road is Business Loop I-15, the corridor points straight at both the freeway and Main Street, so most errands land inside ten minutes. Times are measured from near Cross Hollow Road and Sterling Drive, roughly the center of the neighborhood; confirm door-to-door from your specific street.
| The errand | Where it happens | From Crescent Hills |
|---|---|---|
| Freeway on-ramp | Interstate 15 at Exit 57, Cross Hollow Road | ~5 min |
| Big-box and shopping | Providence Center shopping area, south Main Street | ~8 min |
| Full grocery run | Smith's Food & Drug, 633 S Main Street | ~7 min |
| Second grocery option | Lin's Fresh Market, 150 N Main Street | ~9 min |
| Hardware and home improvement | The Home Depot, Providence Center | ~8 min |
| Healthcare | Cedar City Hospital, 1303 N Main Street | ~10 min |
| Dinner downtown | Historic Main Street | ~8 min |
| Campus and games | Southern Utah University | ~9 min |
| Flights | Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC) | ~10 min |
If you are deciding between Crescent Hills and another west-side subdivision, I would map the exact street during the time of day you actually drive, since Business Loop traffic near the interchange can add a few minutes at peak times. The full day-trip map lives in the Cedar City guide.
Schools & education
Schools, checked by address.
Crescent Hills is part of the Iron County School District. West-side neighborhoods in this part of Cedar City are generally associated with North Elementary (grades K-5), with Cedar Middle School and Cedar City High School the secondary schools most commonly tied to this side of town.
The district is redrawing elementary boundaries for the 2026-27 school year and separately adjusting middle and high school boundaries for 2027-28, so an assignment that looks settled today can change before your closing. Confirm the current assignment for any specific address directly with the Iron County School District rather than assuming it from this page or a listing. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself. I do not rank schools on community pages.
I cover the bigger education picture, including SUU, in the Cedar City guide.
A finished neighborhood
What "sold out" actually means for you.
Crescent Hills is worth calling out specifically because it has crossed a line a lot of Cedar City subdivisions have not: the builder is finished. Alex Meisner Construction sold the last lot and has since moved its active projects to other communities around Cedar City and Enoch. That is a genuinely different market position than a subdivision that is still filling in.
For buyers, it means every home you look at here is a resale, so you are judging finish, upkeep, and any updates a prior owner made rather than comparing a brand-new spec home against a decade-old floor plan of the same name. It also means the neighborhood's overall look and feel will not change much year to year, since there is no more land to build on.
For sellers, it cuts both ways. You are not competing against fresh builder incentives and model-home staging the way a still-building subdivision's resales do, which can work in your favor. But you also do not have a builder's marketing budget driving buyer traffic to the area, so pricing and presentation carry more of the weight on their own.
What I check in a sold-out subdivision
- The exact floor plan and finished square footage, including whether the basement is finished, unfinished, or not present.
- What has been updated since the original build, since these homes now span a real range of ages within the same subdivision.
- Recent closed comps by plan, not just by bedroom count, since the plan lineup varies by hundreds of square feet.
- Garage configuration, since two-car and three-car versions of the same base plan exist side by side here.
What locals know
The details I would slow down and check.
Crescent Hills rewards a buyer who reads the plan name and the road, not just the price. These are the four things I would walk a friend through before they get attached to any one address here.
-
Ask which plan, not just the bedroom count. A three-bedroom Hayward and a three-bedroom Sonoma differ by hundreds of square feet. Get the plan name before you compare price per square foot.
-
Cross Hollow Road carries real traffic. It is Business Loop I-15, not a quiet residential collector. Interior streets are calmer, so I check which street a home actually fronts.
-
Basements are not universal here. Some plans were built with one, some without. If a finished basement matters to your budget or your space needs, confirm it, do not assume it.
-
Age within the subdivision varies. Homes near the 2017 groundbreaking are now years older than homes finished near the end of build-out. Ask when a specific home was actually built, not just the neighborhood's start date.

The buyer side and the seller side.
Buying in Crescent Hills
Crescent Hills sits on Cedar City's west side off Cross Hollow Road, which doubles as the Business Loop I-15 corridor connecting Main Street to Interstate 15 at Exit 57. The neighborhood is roughly two to three miles from the Main Street shopping corridor and downtown.
Detached single-family homes built by Alex Meisner Construction, the subdivision's sole builder since it broke ground in 2017. Floor plans have run from roughly 1,400 to just over 2,100 square feet, mostly three and four bedrooms with two-car garages, and many with basement options. The subdivision is now fully built out, so nearly everything you see for sale is resale rather than new construction.
No. Crescent Hills reached full build-out with more than 250 homes in place, and Alex Meisner Construction has moved on to other Cedar City area communities. If new construction is what you are after, I can point you to where that builder and others are actively building instead.
Recent activity has spanned roughly the high $400,000s to mid $600,000s, moving with square footage, finish level, basement, and lot. Because the neighborhood is a fixed size with no new supply coming, I lean on the most recent closed comps rather than an older average.

Selling in Crescent Hills
Value depends on your specific floor plan, finish level, basement status, and lot. Start with the home valuation page and I will compare your home against the right Crescent Hills and west-side Cedar City sales, no obligation.
List with me and your home is featured across MovingUtah, on this page, on the Cedar City hub, and in the featured listings buyers browse on this site. The get featured page walks through exactly how that works.
With the subdivision fully built out, sellers here are not competing against fresh builder inventory the way a newer community's resales do. That is a real advantage, but pricing still comes down to your specific floor plan and condition against the last few closings. Tell me your timeline and I will give you a straight read, not a pitch.
Yes, and it is common here. The main work is sequencing: pricing the sale, timing the next purchase, and keeping the financing clean. Because I am dual-licensed, I can keep the sale, the search, and the financing on one desk.
