A Cedar City community
A Cedar City neighborhood Southern View.
A compact twin home neighborhood on the south end of Cedar City, built around Southern View Drive off Old Highway 91 and Greenslake Drive. Mid-2000s construction, two-car garages, fenced block-wall back yards, and a sidewalk that crosses at a signaled light into the paved East Bench Trail. The freeway, downtown, and the Southview Trailhead all sit within a few minutes.

Life in Southern View
What a day on the south end looks like.
Southern View is one street, built out with twin homes in the mid-2000s, tucked just off Old Highway 91 on the south end of Cedar City. It reads small and self-contained: two rows of homes, mature enough trees to shade the sidewalks, and a quiet, low-through-traffic feel because the street mostly serves the neighborhood itself rather than cutting through to somewhere else.
Morning here starts a short walk from a signaled crosswalk at Greenslake Drive that puts you straight onto the paved East Bench Trail, no car required. Midday errands lean on the south end's own commercial strip: Providence Center's Walmart and Home Depot are close, and Old Highway 91 gets you onto I-15 at Exit 57 in a few minutes when you need to head north into town or south toward the rest of Iron County.
Evening is unremarkable in the best way. The block is small enough that neighbors know each other's cars, the fenced back yards keep the twin home layout private, and the Southview Trailhead a short drive up Shurtz Canyon Drive is where you go if the paved trail is not enough dirt for the day.
Neighborhood highlights
The highlight reel, all within reach.
East Bench Trail, out the sidewalk
A signaled crosswalk at Greenslake Drive puts Southern View Drive's own sidewalk directly onto the paved East Bench Trail, a route that runs along the south end of town toward the foothills.
Southview Trailhead nearby
A short drive up Shurtz Canyon Drive, the BLM's Southview Trailhead opens onto the Iron Hills Trail System, with gravel parking, restrooms, and singletrack for mountain biking, hiking, and trail running.
Providence Center, minutes away
The Walmart Supercenter and Home Depot big-box run at Providence Center covers most errands without a trip across town.
Two-car garages, fenced yards
Nate Blake Construction built the neighborhood with attached two-car garages and fenced block-wall back yards on nearly every unit, a low-maintenance layout for a compact lot.
Exit 57, a few minutes out
Old Highway 91 feeds straight to I-15's Cross Hollow Road interchange at Exit 57, the fastest way north into town or south toward the rest of Iron County.
Downtown, a short drive
Historic Main Street, the Utah Shakespeare Festival grounds, and Southern Utah University are all a short drive north through town.
Homes & lots
One product, built to a plan.
Southern View is not a mixed search. Nate Blake Construction built the neighborhood as twin homes in the mid-2000s, and most units still run close to the original footprint: around 1,300 square feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an attached two-car garage, and a fenced block-wall back yard. Lots are compact by design, sized for a low-maintenance twin home rather than a sprawling single-family yard.
Because the product is consistent, comps here read cleanly compared with a mixed subdivision. What moves a specific unit is interior condition, whether the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated since the mid-2000s build, and how the yard and garage have been kept up. Given the compact format, Southern View tends to price below Cedar City's citywide median, which is part of the draw for a buyer prioritizing an easy-care starter home over square footage.
If a specific unit's proximity to the Greenslake Drive crosswalk, yard privacy, or garage configuration matters to you, tell me early and I will walk the block with you before you commit to a showing.
One street, one builder, one product. That consistency is the whole story here.
One thing worth knowing from working this pocket of the south end: because every unit shares the same builder and era, condition and updates do more of the pricing work than they would in a more varied neighborhood. A well-kept twin home here can out-price a neglected one by a wide margin even though the bones are identical.
Trails & outdoors
A paved trail out the front door.
Southern View's own sidewalk is the first leg of the trip: it runs to a signaled crosswalk at Greenslake Drive, and on the other side of that crossing is the paved East Bench Trail, a multi-use path that runs along Cedar City's south end and up into the foothills. From walk-from-home paved miles to genuine BLM singletrack, here is the honest tiering.
East Bench Trail (walk from home)
Paved, multi-use, and reached straight from the neighborhood sidewalk via the Greenslake Drive crosswalk. Runs along the south end toward the foothills. Cedar City's official trail count lists roughly 2.65 miles on this stretch.
Southview Trailhead (short drive)
A short drive up Shurtz Canyon Drive off Old Highway 91. BLM-maintained, with gravel parking and restrooms, and the main southern gateway to the Iron Hills Trail System.
Iron Hills Trail System (day out)
From Southview, named singletrack including Green Hollow, Highlands, and the Lava Flow and Boulder Dash flow trails spreads across the BLM land above town, with a dedicated skills park at the trailhead.

Farther out, Brian Head Resort is roughly 40 minutes via Parowan's I-15 Exit 75 for skiing and summer downhill biking, Cedar Breaks National Monument runs about 35 to 40 minutes up State Route 14 in season, 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.
Southern View is part of the Iron County School District. The south end of Cedar City is generally in the South Elementary (grades K-5) attendance area, feeding into Cedar Middle School and Cedar City High School, the district's south and central-zone secondary schools. The district has adjusted elementary boundaries for the 2026-27 school year as North, East, South, Three Peaks, Iron Springs, and Escalante Valley elementaries all shift, and middle and high school boundaries are set to change again for 2027-28 as Canyon View High expands. Confirm the current assignment for any specific address directly with the district rather than assuming it from this page.
For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself. Southern Utah University is about ten minutes away.

Twin home living
What sharing a wall actually means.
It is worth saying plainly, because it is the reason this section exists: Southern View is a twin home neighborhood, meaning most units share a common wall with one attached neighbor. That is a very different ownership experience than a detached single-family home, and it is worth understanding before you fall for the price point or the trail access.
A twin home here typically sits on its own individually owned lot with its own fenced yard and its own garage, unlike a condo where you own an interior unit only. But sound transmission through the shared wall, exterior maintenance coordination with your attached neighbor, and how any shared elements are documented in the plat all deserve a real look before you write an offer. Nearly two decades in, most of these units have gone through at least one round of updates, so condition varies more than the uniform exterior suggests.
For a buyer prioritizing an easy-care, lower-maintenance footprint close to a paved trail and the freeway, this product does exactly what it is built to do. For a buyer who wants a private yard on all sides or more separation from a neighbor, it is worth cross-shopping against detached homes elsewhere in Cedar City before deciding this is the right fit.
What I check on a Southern View twin home before I call it a good buy
- The shared wall assembly and any documented sound complaints between the two attached units.
- What updates the specific unit has had since its mid-2000s build, especially the roof, water heater, and HVAC.
- The block-wall fence line and lot boundary against the parcel record, since these lots run compact.
- How any shared driveway, wall, or utility element is documented, so you know exactly what you are responsible for.
This is general guidance, not a structural or legal opinion. Confirm any specific unit with a qualified inspector and, if needed, a real estate attorney before you rely on it.
What locals know
Notes from the south end.
No listing photo tells you this part. After more than 20 years as a Southern Utah resident, here is what I would tell a friend.
-
The crosswalk is the real amenity. The signaled crossing at Greenslake Drive is what actually makes the East Bench Trail a walk-out-the-door feature rather than a drive-to trailhead. Ask any resident and that crosswalk is the first thing they mention.
-
Do not confuse it with the Southview Trailhead. The names sound alike, but Southview is the BLM trailhead up Shurtz Canyon Drive, while Southern View is this street. Buyers searching online sometimes mix the two up, so double-check which one a listing is actually describing.
-
Exit 57 changes everything. Being this close to the Cross Hollow Road interchange means the south end runs faster to the freeway than most of Cedar City, which matters if you commute or travel often.
-
Condition varies more than the exterior suggests. Every unit shares the same builder and era, but nearly two decades on, updates are not uniform. Walk more than one before you assume they are all the same house.

Buying in Southern View
Southern View sits on the south end of Cedar City. From Main Street you head east on Old Highway 91, turn onto Greenslake Drive, then into Southern View Drive itself, the street the neighborhood is built around. It is a compact pocket of mid-2000s twin homes a few minutes from the freeway and from downtown.
Southern View is a twin home neighborhood built in the mid-2000s, largely by Nate Blake Construction. Most units run around 1,300 square feet with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two-car garage, and a fenced block-wall back yard. It reads as a starter or low-maintenance product, not large custom lots.
Southern View Drive connects to a sidewalk that crosses Greenslake Drive at a signaled crosswalk onto the paved East Bench Trail, which runs along the south end of town. A few minutes further by car, the Southview Trailhead off Shurtz Canyon Drive opens onto the Iron Hills Trail System's singletrack network on the BLM land above the neighborhood.
Given the compact twin home format, Southern View tends to price below Cedar City's overall median, with unit size, condition, and yard position driving most of the spread. Prices move, so treat that as a starting point and confirm against the live listings.
