Living in The Parks at Deer Hollow

The Parks at Deer Hollow sits farther north than the usual Cedar City search map, out near 4700 North and 2000 West. This is the flat, open ground of the valley, not hillside, so you trade a view lot on a slope for open ground. You get wide mountain views in every direction and more sky around the streets than you get closer in.

Daily life is still Cedar City, just with a drive on the front of it. Groceries, Main Street, the hospital, Southern Utah University, and I-15 are all normal trips from here, but none of them are right outside the subdivision. When I show homes out here, I map every errand from the exact lot. A few north-valley minutes add up when you make the drive twice a day.

What draws people is new construction: a fresh craftsman home with a front porch. Grandview Park is already built and in daily use, and more park space is still filling in. Planned features stay planned until they are finished, so we buy on what is here today and treat the rest as a possible bonus.

The Parks at Deer Hollow is a single-family new-construction community, not an older resale area. Mark and Wade Wilcock are the builders. Each of their craftsman-style homes has a front porch, and the lots sit on the flat, open ground of the valley with open mountain views.

Lot sizes across the plat (the official lot map) run from roughly 0.15 acre up to a half acre. When a specific lot matters, I check the recorded plat, county records, and the builder's plan details before we compare one home to another. Some recent construction has been in Phase II (the second stage of building). Ask me which phase and which lots are current before you fall for a floor plan online.

On price, recent sales and listings here have generally clustered in the $450,000 to $475,000 range, tied closely to plan, square footage, and lot. Because the builder releases homes over time, I pull live listings, builder availability, and recent sales. That way you get the current numbers, not one that may already be stale.

The main outdoor draw on this side of town is Three Peaks Recreation Area. This roughly 6,000-acre BLM area sits about 10 miles northwest of central Cedar City, off Midvalley Road and not far from these streets. It has a marked mountain-bike trail system, off-highway vehicle (OHV) routes, hiking, and room for open-space days. That is what makes the north valley a place to ride and hike.

The names can fool you: Deer Hollow Winter Recreation Area is a separate Nordic (cross-country) ski and snowshoe area. That area is on the mountain off State Route 14, roughly 30 miles from here, a few miles west of Duck Creek Village. It is not a feature inside this community, and I point that out so nobody buys here expecting to step out the door into it.

Ask yourself two simple questions. How often will you actually use the Three Peaks side of the map? And how well do the north-valley errands fit your week? Answer those honestly and you will know whether this location fits.

The Parks at Deer Hollow falls in the Iron County School District. This end of the north valley has generally fed Three Peaks Elementary (grades K-5). The district's board approved boundary changes for six elementaries, Three Peaks included, and they take effect for the 2026-27 school year. Because of that, I treat the elementary assignment as something to check, not assume, even for a lot you have already picked out.

For middle and high school, this side of the valley has generally been in the Canyon View zone (the area those schools serve). But the district is also changing which middle and high schools serve which streets, effective for the 2027-28 school year. This community sits in unincorporated Iron County near the Enoch line, so checking the exact address matters even more than usual. For any lot or home you are serious about, I check the current and upcoming assignment directly with the district before you count on it.

For independent school data, GreatSchools and Niche both publish information you can weigh for yourself. I do not rank schools on community pages.

The Parks at Deer Hollow sits in unincorporated Iron County, so close to the Cedar City and Enoch line that you will see it filed both ways online. The builder markets it under a Cedar City address and zip code 84721, and some real estate directories list the subdivision under Enoch instead. Neither is wrong. The community simply sits in the county land between the two.

In practice, jurisdiction (which government's rules apply) can depend on the exact parcel, not the name on the mailbox. Water service can too, and sometimes even which city services apply. Before we talk numbers, I check the county assessor record and the recorded plat for the specific lot or home. That way you are not guessing between two different sets of rules.

Sitting between the two also means you can fairly compare this community with both Cedar City subdivisions and north Enoch neighborhoods. I can pull recent sales of similar homes from either side of the line.
