A Cedar City community
Living in Mountain View.
A settled southwest Cedar City neighborhood built along Mountain View Drive, where the street bends from a west-running block into a north-south run near Cedar High School. The homes here date mostly from the mid-1970s on, sitting on some of the more generous lots in town, with Main Street and Center Street both a short drive away.

Life on Mountain View Dr
A settled street, close to the middle of town.
Mountain View is built along Mountain View Drive, one of the older residential streets on Cedar City's southwest side. The road bends as it goes, a stretch that reads as a west address near the 600 to 800 block, then curving into a north-south run in the 1100 to 1300 South range. It sits within a few blocks of Cedar High School, so the neighborhood has the settled, tree-and-fence feel of a street that filled in decades ago rather than last year.
Because the street bends through more than one block range, I never treat the whole run as identical. A home near the west leg and one on the south leg can differ in setback, traffic, and exact walk time to Main Street, so I confirm the parcel and the recorded plat by the specific address before I compare any two homes here.
What stays consistent is the location. You are close enough to Center Street and Main Street for a short errand run, and close enough to Cedar High School that game nights and after-school pickups do not eat your evening. It is a practical, lived-in part of town rather than a showcase subdivision, and that is exactly its appeal for a lot of buyers.
The setting
What an established street gives you.
Read Mountain View by the specific block and what is on the lot. The street's bend means a home near the west leg and one on the south leg can live differently, even though they share the same street name.
Established, mid-1970s and up
Homes on Mountain View Drive have generally been built from the mid-1970s forward, with mature trees and settled landscaping that a brand-new subdivision simply does not have yet.
Generous lots for the price point
Lots here have run from about 0.16 to 0.77 acre, averaging close to a quarter acre, noticeably more room than many newer Cedar City subdivisions offer at a similar price.
Minutes from Cedar High
Cedar City High School sits at 703 West 600 South, close enough to this street that it shapes the neighborhood's rhythm on football Fridays and school mornings alike.
A short run to the middle of town
Because addresses here count out from Center Street and Main Street, you are only a handful of blocks from downtown Cedar City, not a long drive to the edge of the grid.
Homes & lots
Older homes, generous lots, real variety.
Mountain View is a single-family street built out mostly from the mid-1970s forward. That means condition varies more than it would in a newer subdivision: some homes have been updated room by room over the decades, and others are still close to original. I never assume a build era tells you the whole story, so I walk each home rather than judging it from the street.
Lot size is the neighborhood's quiet strength. Parcels along Mountain View Drive have generally run from about 0.16 acre up to 0.77 acre, with most closer to a quarter acre, which is genuinely more room than a lot of Cedar City's newer construction offers. That extra space shows up in the details: several homes carry side or rear parking sized for an RV or trailer, a shop, or a larger garden than a tighter modern lot would allow.
Because the street spans more than one build era and more than one block range, I split the comparison before I ever talk price: original condition against updated, west leg against south leg, and lot size against lot size. Confirm everything against the live listings, since a couple of active homes on one block can move the picture.
On an older street like this one, the lot and the level of updating matter more than the build year on the county record.
Trails & outdoors
A short drive to Cedar City's dirt trails.
Mountain View is not a walk-out-your-door trail neighborhood, but it sits closer to Cedar City's south-end trail system than most of the older core. Here is the honest tiering, from a quick drive to a weekend trip.
Southview Trailhead, ~8 min
The BLM's Southview Trailhead, on South Shurtz Canyon Drive off Old Highway 91 near I-15 Exit 57, is the closest gateway into the Iron Hills Trail System's roughly 30 miles of built singletrack.
Coal Creek Trail, ~6 min
The paved Coal Creek Trail follows the creek through the middle of Cedar City, an easy walking and biking path once you have made the short drive downtown.
Three Peaks Recreation Area, ~20 min
Northwest of town, the BLM's Three Peaks area opens up more than twenty-five miles of mountain-bike singletrack, OHV trails, and desert bouldering.
Cedar Breaks and Brian Head, seasonal
Once you reach State Route 14 or 143, Cedar Breaks National Monument and Brian Head's ski runs open up as a longer day, roughly 35 to 40 minutes out and dependent on the season.
Trail details come from the BLM's Iron Hills Trail System and Southview Trailhead pages. The wider outdoor picture, including Cedar Breaks and Brian Head, is in the Cedar City guide.
Errands & drive times
Errands, measured in minutes.
These are approximate drive times measured from near the intersection of Mountain View Drive and 600 South, close to Cedar High School. Confirm door-to-door timing for your exact address; a home on the street's west leg or south leg can run a couple of minutes different either way.
| The errand | Where it happens | From Mountain View |
|---|---|---|
| Full grocery run | Smith's Food & Drug, 633 S Main Street | ~6 min |
| Second grocery option | Lin's Fresh Market, 150 N Main Street | ~9 min |
| Big-box and hardware | Walmart Supercenter and Home Depot, Providence Center Dr | ~7 min |
| Healthcare | Cedar City Hospital, 1303 N Main Street | ~10 min |
| Freeway on-ramp | Interstate 15 at Exit 57, Cross Hollow Rd | ~6 min |
| Dinner downtown | Historic Main Street | ~7 min |
| Campus and games | Southern Utah University | ~9 min |
| Flights | Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC) | ~11 min |
| Mountain biking | Southview Trailhead, Iron Hills Trail System | ~8 min |
Farther out, the freeway access at Exit 57 puts Zion's Kolob Canyons entrance about 25 minutes south, St. George roughly 50 minutes south, and Brian Head's ski runs about 40 minutes north via Parowan. The full day-trip map lives in the Cedar City guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Mountain View is served by the Iron County School District. Cedar City High School (grades 9-12) sits nearby at 703 West 600 South, and this part of town generally falls within the Cedar Middle School and Cedar High attendance zones rather than the Canyon View zones on the north end. The district is redrawing secondary boundaries for the 2027-28 school year, and elementary boundaries are changing for 2026-27, so confirm the current assignment for any specific address directly with the district rather than assuming from the map.
For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself. Southern Utah University is about nine minutes from this street, and I cover the bigger education picture in the citywide guide.

Room to park and build
What the extra lot space actually gets you.
The single most useful thing to know about Mountain View is the lot size, not the mountain views the name suggests. Parcels here run noticeably larger than a lot of Cedar City's newer subdivisions, and that extra room is why the street draws buyers who want an RV pad, a trailer spot, a shop, or simply a yard bigger than a modern quarter-acre subdivision allows.
That said, room on paper is not the same as buildable room. Setbacks, easements, and any accessory-structure limits still apply, and an older lot can carry mature trees, slope, or drainage that eats into what looks like open space from the street. Before you count on a shop pad or extra parking as part of the deal, I walk the lot and check it against the parcel record rather than eyeballing it.
The same logic applies to condition. A house built in the 1970s or 1980s that has been updated room by room reads very differently from one that has not, even on an identical lot. I never price the two the same way, and neither should you.
What I check before I call a lot "room to build"
- The recorded lot size and shape against the county parcel map, not just the listing's stated acreage.
- Setbacks and any accessory-structure limits before you plan a shop, casita, or expanded parking pad.
- The home's update history room by room, since two homes on the same street can be decades apart in real condition.
- Whether existing RV or trailer parking is a formal pad or just open ground, since that changes both value and permitting.
What locals know
The details I would slow down and check.
Mountain View rewards a buyer who reads the specific block and the specific lot. Here is what I would walk a friend through before they get attached to any one address on this street.
-
The street bends, so the block matters. A home on the west leg near 600 to 800 West and one on the south leg near 1100 to 1300 South share a name but not always a feel. Confirm the exact block before you compare two listings.
-
The name is not the whole story. This is not the only Cedar City neighborhood built around a mountain-facing name; do not assume every "mountain view" listing search pulls up this specific street.
-
Lot size sells this street, not square footage. Buyers who want an RV pad, a shop, or a real yard should weigh the parcel size here against tighter, newer subdivisions before ruling either out.
-
Check the school line by address. This side of town generally runs Cedar Middle and Cedar High rather than Canyon View, but boundaries are shifting through 2027-28, so verify the current assignment for the exact home.

The buyer side and the seller side.
Buying in Mountain View
Mountain View is a southwest Cedar City neighborhood built along Mountain View Drive, which bends from a west-running stretch into a north-south stretch a few blocks from Cedar High School. It sits inside the 84720 zip code, a short run from Center Street and Main. Because the street curves through more than one block range, I confirm the exact parcel and recorded plat by address rather than treating the whole area as one tight subdivision.
Established single-family homes, most dating from the mid-1970s onward, on generous lots by Cedar City standards. Home sizes run larger than the county average, and several properties have room for RV or trailer parking. I read each property on its own street and lot rather than by one neighborhood average.
Lots along Mountain View Drive have generally run from about 0.16 to 0.77 acre, with most closer to a quarter acre. That is noticeably more room than many newer subdivisions in town, which is part of why the street draws buyers who want a shop, a garden, or parking for a trailer.
Pricing moves with the live market and with each home's condition, size, and whether it has been updated since the 1970s and 1980s. Treat any figure as a starting point and confirm against the current listings, since a handful of active homes on one street can shift the picture fast.
The neighborhood is in the Iron County School District. Cedar City High School sits close by at 703 West 600 South, in the same south-central part of town, and this side of Cedar City generally falls in the Cedar Middle and Cedar High attendance zones rather than Canyon View. Elementary boundaries are being redrawn for the 2026-27 school year, so confirm the current assignment for any specific address with the district before you rely on it.

Selling in Mountain View
Value depends on lot size, square footage, how much of the home has been updated, parking and shop space, and the live competition nearby. Start with the home valuation page and I will compare it against current Mountain View and nearby south-side Cedar City activity.
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.
I lead with what actually sells an older south-side home: lot size, any updates since the original build, parking and shop space, and a clean comparison against the other established streets nearby, not against the newer subdivisions across town. Concrete specifics beat generic scenery every time.
Yes, but on a purchase I take one role only, never both. I can work as your real estate agent or as your lender, and the role is disclosed before we move forward.
