Living in Stone Gate

Stone Gate is a compact townhome community addressed off 173 East Fiddlers Canyon Road, along the northeast hillside stretch of road that climbs toward the canyon of the same name. It is small by design: a row of attached units built by a Cedar City general contractor, not a sprawling subdivision. You can walk the whole community in a few minutes.

The units share a common look, with two-car garages and main-floor living. Each has a fully fenced private backyard with a concrete patio slab out back. Floor plans vary more than the outside lets on, so sort that out first, before you compare any two units on price.

It sits close to the places you use every day. Fiddlers Canyon Elementary is a short trip up the same road, downtown Cedar City is about five minutes the other way, and the Fiddlers Canyon Trail system is a quick drive from the front door. To me it is first a smaller, lower-priced home, and I read every listing on its specific floor plan before I trust a single price.

Stone Gate is one kind of home, attached townhomes, but it is not one floor plan. Since construction began in 2007, units have ranged from a smaller 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout around 1,500 square feet to larger 4-bedroom plans closer to 2,100 square feet. Some units were built with an optional basement. Every unit has the two-car garage and the fenced backyard with a concrete patio as standard.

It is a small community where few homes sell, so pricing does not behave like a large subdivision with dozens of sales a year. Recent sales have generally landed in the high $200,000s to low $300,000s, with the smaller plans toward the bottom of that range and the larger, basement-finished units toward the top. A single listing can be the entire current market at any given moment. That is why I would rather look at what is selling and listed right now than quote you a stale average.

If you are buying, the floor plan comes first, before the neighborhood and before how nice the finishes are. If you are selling, know which plan you have, then find which recent Stone Gate sale, or nearby Fiddlers Canyon Road sale, actually matches it before you set an asking price.

Stone Gate is part of the Iron County School District. Fiddlers Canyon Elementary (grades K-5) sits further up the same Fiddlers Canyon Road off 1935 North. This side of town generally continues on to Canyon View Middle School and Canyon View High School on the north end of Cedar City.

The district is changing which schools serve which streets, with new elementary zones for the 2026-27 school year and new middle and high school zones for 2027-28. Check the current school for any specific unit with the district, by address, and do not assume from this page. For outside school data, GreatSchools and Niche both publish numbers you can weigh yourself. Southern Utah University is about eight minutes away across town.

Every unit in Stone Gate shares one address off Fiddlers Canyon Road, but the units behind that address are not identical. Since construction began, the community has included a smaller 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath plan around 1,500 square feet and a larger plan closer to 2,100 square feet with more bedrooms. Some units were built with an optional basement, and others were not. Two units a few doors apart can differ by hundreds of square feet and an entire finished level.

That spread is exactly why I will not quote you a single "Stone Gate price." If you are comparing two active listings here, you need the actual floor plan and square footage, and you need to know whether the basement is finished, unfinished, or not there at all. Without that, no price comparison means anything. A seller pricing a unit needs the same care: look at recent sales of the same plan and the same level of finish first, then at the rest of the community.

In short, go by the unit number, not the street name, and read the floor plan and disclosures before you fall in love with a photo.
