Living in Old Farm

Old Farm sits on Cedar City's far north side, on and around the 2700 to 2900 North grid, west of Main Street. Under Cedar City's address system, Main Street is the north-south line that East and West addresses are counted from. The "W" addresses on streets like 2725 North and 2875 North place the neighborhood on the west side of that line. It feels established and tree-lined, not brand-new. A run of new single-level twin homes has been going up on some of the remaining ground alongside the older single-family streets.

The draw here is space. You get larger lots than you find in most newer Cedar City subdivisions, where builders repeat a few plans. You also get mature trees and landscaping, and room for practical parking, including a spot for an RV or trailer on many lots. I would still walk the driveway, the side yard, and the recorded property details (the official records for the property) on any specific home. How usable a lot is varies more here than the listing photos suggest.

The north-side routine is simple. Main Street carries the daily run into downtown, and I-15 is a short drive north. The Iron County School District is changing which schools serve which streets for the next two school years. I cover what is confirmed and what is still changing in the schools section below, rather than guessing.

Old Farm is mostly established single-family homes, with larger lots, mature trees, and real spacing between homes. It is the kind of north-side neighborhood where the landscaping has history, not bare new dirt. Alongside that, a run of new single-level twin homes has been going in on some of the remaining ground, with features like quartz countertops and covered parking in the sales pitch. Understand that mix before you compare prices. An established detached home and a new twin home are two different kinds of home wearing the same neighborhood name.

Price follows size and kind of home, and the range is wide. Recent listings have run from the high $300,000s for a smaller home up to $949,900 for a roughly 4,275 square foot custom home. That spread is too wide to boil down to one neighborhood number, so check the current asking range against the live listings. Keep the twin homes apart from the detached homes when you compare.

If you are buying, look at how usable the lot is, the parking, the landscaping, the condition and updates, and which kind of home you are really comparing. If you are selling, the recent sales I compare yours with keep the established detached homes apart from the newer twin homes before anyone settles on a price.

Old Farm is in the Iron County School District. On the district's 2026-27 map, this far-north, west-of-Main location falls in Three Peaks Elementary (grades K-5, 1685 West Midvalley Road). The district's board has approved boundary changes across six elementary schools for the 2026-27 school year, and middle and high school boundaries are set to shift again for 2027-28. I am not going to guess a specific assignment while those lines are moving.

For any address you are serious about, check the current elementary, middle, and high school directly with the district. Do not rely on a map or a guess based on distance. For outside school data, GreatSchools and Niche both publish numbers you can weigh yourself. Southern Utah University is about ten minutes from the neighborhood.

Old Farm is the kind of established neighborhood where two homes can look similar in photos and live very differently once you are there. The subdivision mixes older single-family lots with a newer run of single-level twin homes, so the lot and the parking are where I slow down before I compare anything else.

Room for an RV or trailer is a real draw on many of the older lots. The gate width, side-yard depth, surface, and recorded property details change from one property to the next, so I check each one. Mature trees and landscaping make every day nicer, and they also belong in the talk about inspection, irrigation, and upkeep. Part of the neighborhood is still filling in with new construction, so before I look at a single recent sale, I check whether a lot is an established parcel or one of the newer twin-home sites.

Check what any specific property is with the county recorder's parcel record and the current MLS subdivision field. Do this before you rely on how a listing describes itself.
