A Cedar City community
Living in Sky View Estates.
Cedar City's far-northwest corner, off W Runway Drive near the Cedar City Regional Airport and the SR-56 corridor. Sky View Estates is a newer twin-home neighborhood still filling in, built around a handful of single-story floor plans rather than one custom home at a time, with the open valley and Three Peaks Recreation Area out beyond it.
I am Scott Buehler. I have spent 20+ years as a Southern Utah resident, and this page is the honest version of what a still-building neighborhood like this offers, what it costs today, and what I would check before you buy or sell out here.

Life on the far northwest
A newer corner of Cedar City, still filling in.
Sky View Estates sits off W Runway Drive on Cedar City's far-northwest side, close enough to the Cedar City Regional Airport that you can see the runway lights from the street. This is a newer neighborhood, and it reads that way: fresh concrete, a handful of repeating single-story floor plans, and open valley and desert on the edges where the plat has not filled in yet.
The setting is more open than an established in-town street. You get long sightlines across the valley toward Three Peaks and the low hills to the north, and the SR-56 corridor puts the freeway and the rest of Cedar City within easy reach. Because it is a working general aviation airport next door, not a major commercial hub, the traffic overhead is light aircraft rather than a steady stream of jets.
Being a newer, still-building neighborhood is the honest headline here. That means some streets are finished and lived-in while others are still framing, so I walk the specific lot and the block around it before I get excited about any one address, and I confirm what phase of construction the builder is in before we write an offer.
Neighborhood highlights
The far northwest has its own logic.
Four things make this corner of town its own place: new construction you can watch take shape, the airport as a next-door neighbor, a straight shot to the SR-56 freeway ramp, and Three Peaks Recreation Area out past the edge of the plat.
New construction, plan by plan
This is an active build-out, not a resale-only street. You can watch a specific home go from foundation to finish, and buy off a floor plan before it is framed.
The airport next door
Cedar City Regional Airport sits right at the edge of this side of town. Traffic here is general aviation, not a steady commercial flight path, but I still tell buyers to listen for themselves on a showing.
SR-56 on-ramp, ~5 min
Interstate 15 at Exit 59, the SR-56 and 200 North interchange, is roughly five minutes out, which puts the rest of Cedar City and the freeway itself within easy reach.
Three Peaks out past the edge
The BLM's Three Peaks Recreation Area sits roughly ten miles northwest of central Cedar City, and this side of town gets you there faster than most. It is a drive, not a walk, but a short one by local standards.
Homes & floor plans
A production-built neighborhood, priced by plan.
Sky View Estates is a twin-home neighborhood, meaning each building holds two attached homes that share a common wall, each with its own address, yard, and garage. The builder offers a small set of single-story floor plans rather than one-off custom homes, so most of what changes from address to address is which plan sits on the lot and how far along the build is.
Floor plans have generally run from around 1,700 square feet up past 2,200 square feet, typically three to four bedrooms with a two-car garage. New-construction pricing has generally started in the upper $200,000s and run into the mid $400,000s, moving with the floor plan, finish level, and the builder's current release. Because this is an active build-out, the builder's price sheet is a better guide than an old neighborhood average, and I check it fresh before I quote a number.
Lots here are sized for the twin-home format, not for acreage, so if wide-open land is what you are after, I would point you toward a different part of Cedar City and talk through that search separately.
In a still-building neighborhood, the builder's current price sheet tells you more than last year's sale.
Trails & outdoors
Three Peaks is a short drive, not a walk from home.
Being on the far-northwest side puts you closer to the region's biggest outdoor asset than almost anywhere else in Cedar City, but it is still a real drive, not a stroll out the back gate. Here is the honest tiering, from the closest options to the day trips.
Coal Creek Trail (easy)
Cedar City's paved, in-town path follows Coal Creek across the heart of the city. It is a short drive in from Sky View Estates and an easy walk or ride once you are there.
Iron Hills Trail System (moderate to hard)
On the south and southeast bench, this system adds dirt singletrack and the climb to the white "C" overlooking town. It is a cross-town drive from this side, but well within a normal errand run.
Three Peaks Recreation Area, ~15 min
The BLM manages more than 6,000 acres here, roughly ten miles northwest of central Cedar City, with over 27 miles of mountain-bike trail, OHV routes, a disc golf course, and camping. Being on this side of town shaves real minutes off the drive.
Cedar Breaks and Brian Head, seasonal day trip
The high country up State Route 14 and over toward Brian Head is a genuine day trip from anywhere in Cedar City, this side included, and it is seasonal, closing once the high road snows in.
The wider outdoor picture, including Cedar Breaks National Monument and Brian Head's ski runs, is in the Cedar City guide. Trail and acreage facts here come from the BLM's Three Peaks Recreation Area page and Cedar City's trail resources.
Errands & drive times
Errands, measured from W Runway Drive.
This is the practical answer to how far everything sits from the far-northwest side. Times below are measured from near W Runway Drive and Cedar City Regional Airport; confirm the door-to-door route for the exact address.
| The errand | Where it happens | From Runway Drive |
|---|---|---|
| Full grocery run | Lin's Fresh Market, 150 N Main Street | ~8 min |
| Second grocery option | Smith's Food & Drug, 633 S Main Street | ~10 min |
| Supercenter and general goods | Walmart Supercenter, 1330 S Providence Center Dr | ~11 min |
| Hardware and home improvement | The Home Depot, Providence Center | ~11 min |
| Healthcare | Cedar City Hospital, 1303 N Main Street | ~7 min |
| Freeway on-ramp | Interstate 15 at Exit 59, SR-56 / 200 North | ~5 min |
| Flights | Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC) | ~2 min |
| Campus and games | Southern Utah University | ~9 min |
| Mountain biking and OHV | Three Peaks Recreation Area (BLM) | ~15 min |
Farther out, the regional map opens up fast: Brian Head's ski runs and Cedar Breaks National Monument are both a seasonal day trip up State Route 14 and around through Parowan, the Kolob Canyons gate of Zion is about 25 minutes south on I-15, and St. George is roughly 50 to 55 minutes south. The full day-trip map lives in the Cedar City guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Sky View Estates is part of the Iron County School District. The far-northwest side is generally anchored to Iron Springs Elementary (235 N 4050 W), with Canyon View Middle School and Canyon View High School the documented secondary schools for that same corner of town. The district is adjusting elementary boundaries for the 2026-27 school year and middle and high school boundaries for 2027-28, so confirm the current assignment for any home you are serious about directly with the district by address rather than assuming it from a map.
For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself. Southern Utah University is across town, roughly a nine-minute drive.
I cover the bigger education picture, including SUU, in the Cedar City guide.
Buying in a still-building neighborhood
What changes when the plat is not yet finished.
It is worth saying plainly, because it shapes almost every other answer on this page: Sky View Estates is still building out. That is different from touring an established subdivision where every lot has a finished home and years of resale history behind it. Here, the street in front of your future home might be paved and quiet, or it might still have equipment and unsold lots on it depending on which phase the builder is working.
That has real, practical effects. There is not yet a deep resale history to lean on, so pricing leans more heavily on the builder's current price sheet for the same or a similar floor plan than on an old neighborhood average. Construction traffic, temporary fencing, and partially graded lots are normal in an active phase, not a red flag by themselves, but they are worth walking before you commit. And because it is a twin-home format, a shared wall and shared exterior maintenance responsibilities are part of what you are buying alongside the home itself, so I make sure buyers read the builder's documents on exactly how that works before we go under contract.
None of this is a reason to avoid a still-building neighborhood. It is a reason to buy it with eyes open, on the plan and the phase, not just the address.
What I check before I call a Sky View Estates home a safe bet
- Which build phase the specific lot is in, and the builder's current completion timeline for it.
- The builder's current price sheet for that floor plan, since a still-building neighborhood does not have a deep resale record yet.
- How the shared wall and any shared exterior maintenance work on a twin home, in the builder's own documents.
- What internet, utility, and street-finish status actually exists at that address today, not what the plan shows for the finished neighborhood.
This is general guidance, not a substitute for reading the builder's purchase agreement and disclosures. Confirm any specific lot and phase with the builder and with me before you rely on it.
What locals know
Notes from the far northwest.
No listing photo tells you this part. After more than 20 years in Southern Utah, here is what I would tell a friend looking at Sky View Estates.
-
Ask which phase you are buying into. Two homes a block apart can be at completely different stages of the build. I confirm the phase and the finish timeline before either of us gets attached to a lot.
-
The airport is a feature and a fact. Being near a general aviation field is a real convenience for some buyers and a real dealbreaker for others. I always suggest hearing it in person before you decide which one you are.
-
Compare plans, not just addresses. With a small set of repeating floor plans, the honest comparison is plan to plan and phase to phase, not one home to a random average.
-
Three Peaks rewards this side of town. The drive out to the BLM's trail and OHV area is shorter from here than from most of Cedar City, which is a real perk if that is how you spend a weekend.

Buying in Sky View Estates
Sky View Estates sits on Cedar City's far northwest side off W Runway Drive, close to the Cedar City Regional Airport and the SR-56 corridor. It is a newer, still-building neighborhood, so I always map the exact lot before I compare it to anything else in town.
It is a twin-home neighborhood, meaning each building holds two attached homes sharing a common wall, each with its own address, yard, and garage. The builder offers a handful of single-story floor plans, so you are choosing between plans more than between wildly different home styles.
Floor plans have generally run from around 1,700 to just over 2,200 square feet, with three or four bedrooms and a two-car garage. Lots are compact, sized for the twin-home format rather than acreage, so confirm the recorded lot size before you compare it to a detached-home neighborhood.
New construction here has generally started in the upper $200,000s and run into the mid $400,000s depending on the floor plan, finish level, and how far along the build is. Builder pricing moves with each release, so treat that as a starting point and confirm it against current pricing before you anchor to a number.

Selling in Sky View Estates
Yes. Cedar City Regional Airport sits right at the edge of this side of town, and Sky View Estates is close enough that I have buyers listen for themselves on a showing rather than take my word for it. Traffic here is light general aviation, not a commercial flight path overhead all day.
Yes. Want to sell your home in Sky View Estates? List it with me and your home gets featured on MovingUtah, on this page and on the Cedar City guide, in front of buyers already searching the far-northwest side.
I start with what the builder is currently asking for the same or a similar floor plan, then check it against any resales that have closed in the neighborhood so far. New-construction neighborhoods do not have a deep resale history yet, so I lean on the builder's current price sheet and recent closings rather than an old average.
Yes, but on a single purchase I take one role only, never both. I can work as your real estate agent or as your lender, and I disclose the role before we move forward. The full explanation is on the How I Work page.
