Living in Cross Hollow

Townhomes at Cross Hollow is on Cody Drive, on Cedar City's west side, in the area that carries the Cross Hollow name. The draw is a newer home that takes less upkeep. The garage is attached and the yard is small. The Providence Center shopping and the Cross Hollow Road interchange on I-15 are both close enough to fit into a normal day, so the errands you used to plan around are a couple of minutes away.

It shares a name with the Cross Hollow Arenas event center down the road. It also shares a name, confusingly, with Cross Hollow Hills, a much larger acreage community about two miles southwest, near Westview Drive. They are not the same place and not the same kind of home, so I never let a search for one turn up results from the other.

Here you trade square footage and a private lot for convenience, a newer home, and a shorter list of things to maintain. Before you sign, there are documents to read, and I cover them below.

Wilcock Real Estate, a local team with an office on West Highway 56, built these newer townhomes on Cody Drive. The standard layout is three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a 2-car garage, and the homes run from about 1,776 to 1,810 square feet. They have nine-foot ceilings on the main and second floors.

Finishes include quartz counters and luxury vinyl plank flooring (a hard floor made to look like wood). The primary suite has a walk-in closet and two sinks, and the kitchen comes with a full set of appliances. Recent resale activity has landed in the $300,000s for a completed unit. The specific plan, which way the unit faces, and what is included all move that number, so I check the exact unit before I price it.

Cross Hollow is in the Iron County School District. Cedar City's south end is closest to South Elementary (grades K-5). It then generally falls in the Cedar Middle School and Cedar High School zone, which serves the south and central parts of town. The district is changing which schools serve which streets: several elementary boundaries for the 2026-27 school year, and its middle and high school boundaries for 2027-28. So check the current school for any unit you are serious about. Ask the district directly and give them the address. Do not assume 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 north.

With attached homes, the documents matter, and a project still run by its builder gives you even more to check. A unit here can be an end unit or a middle unit. It can be ready to move into or still under construction, and one plan can have a taller primary bedroom ceiling than another. None of that shows up in a headline price.

Before I compare one Cross Hollow unit to another, or to anything else on the south end, I do two things. First I check that the street address is Cody Drive and not the unrelated Cross Hollow Hills acreage community. Then I read the recorded documents (the written rules that come with the property), which show how exterior upkeep, insurance, parking, and any pet or rental rules are handled.
