An Ivins community
Living in Red Mountain Townhomes.
Attached townhomes at the base of Red Mountain in northern Ivins, where the desert-contemporary plans run compact and lower-upkeep, the red rock fills the northern sky, and the Snow Canyon park entrance, Tuacahn, and the Red Mountain trails are all closer than the grocery store. It is one of the few lock-and-leave options in a town built mostly of detached customs.
I am Scott Buehler, a Southern Utah resident of 20-plus years and a licensed REALTOR and lender. This is the honest version of what Red Mountain Townhomes offers, what these attached homes cost, and what I would check before you buy or sell one at the base of the mountain.

Current listings
Homes for sale in Red Mountain Townhomes.
No active listings today. Attached product is a small slice of the market at the base of Red Mountain, where detached custom homes make up most of the inventory, so an empty townhome page here is not unusual. A new unit posts the day it hits the MLS. Prefer to hunt on your own? Open the map search or start from the homepage.

Be first in line when one lists.
I watch the Washington County MLS for attached listings at the base of Red Mountain, and this lock and leave pocket is one I follow specifically because good units do not sit around long. Tell me whether you want an end unit or you just want the closest walk to Snow Canyon, and I will call the day a townhome here lists.

Life at the base of Red Mountain
Less to manage, more time at the mountain.
Red Mountain Townhomes sits in northern Ivins, on the Malorie Way streets just off Snow Canyon Parkway, with the red wall of Red Mountain filling the view to the north. It is an attached-townhome pocket in a town built almost entirely of detached customs, which is most of the point: the homes share walls, the footprints are compact, and there is far less to maintain than on a quarter-acre lot.
That property trait shapes the day more than anything else. With a smaller home and a small patio rather than a full yard, the morning does not start with a sprinkler check, and a weekend away does not start with a list of things to button up. You can close the door and go. For a buyer who wants the Red Mountain setting without the upkeep of a larger detached lot, this is one of the few addresses in Ivins that offers it.
What you trade for that ease is square footage and a shared wall, and those are real and worth naming. But the location pays it back. The Snow Canyon park entrance is about five minutes east, the Red Mountain trails are right off the neighborhood, and Tuacahn's red rock amphitheater is a few minutes south. Recreation here is genuinely closer than the grocery run, which I lay out plainly in the errands section.
Neighborhood highlights
A smaller home in a big setting.
Six things make this attached pocket its own place, and each one is specific: the lower-upkeep townhome product, the Red Mountain wall out front, the Snow Canyon park entrance minutes away, the entry-level price into the area, the small attached community, and an inventory thin enough that the right unit is worth moving on.
Snow Canyon State Park, ~5 min
East on Snow Canyon Parkway: red and white Navajo sandstone, lava tubes, dunes, and a trail menu from easy walks to real scrambles, all on a park-pass drive from the door.
Tuacahn, ~5 min
The Tuacahn Center for the Arts stages Broadway-scale musicals in a red rock amphitheater up Padre Canyon. The May-to-October season runs on most summer nights.
Red Mountain trails, ~5 min
The red wall rising off the north edge of the neighborhood is Red Mountain, with routes toward the rim and the overlook above Snow Canyon climbing straight from this side of Ivins.
An entry point into the area
In a market dominated by detached customs, the attached townhomes here generally sit at the more accessible end of the Red Mountain part of Ivins, a smaller-footprint way into the setting.
A small, quiet community
With roughly 40 to 60 attached units and no pass-through traffic, the streets stay quiet, and the compact townhome footprint keeps the daily upkeep light.
Thin attached inventory
Few townhomes trade here in a given year, and the building position and outlook set the price more than the floor plan does, so the right comparable sales matter more than any average.
Homes & plans
Attached, two-story, and lower upkeep.
Red Mountain Townhomes is an attached-townhome neighborhood, built in modern Southwest and desert-contemporary styles. The common plan runs about 1,767 square feet over two stories, with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and an attached two-car garage. Inside, you tend to find granite counters, stainless appliances, a kitchen island, and main-level living, with a fenced patio off the back instead of a full yard.
The product is the story here. These are shared-wall homes, so the position within a building matters: an end unit with an open Red Mountain outlook lives and prices differently than an interior unit at the same square footage. Because the footprints are compact and the exterior is minimal, the upkeep is light, which is the trait that makes this a lock-and-leave option rather than a yard-and-garden one. That is a property characteristic of the attached form, not a statement about who buys here.
On price, the attached townhomes here have generally been the more accessible entry into the Red Mountain part of Ivins, running from the high $300,000s into the $500,000s depending on size, condition, and building position. Because the attached pool is small and trades infrequently, a single high or low sale can pull an average off true, so I read the most recent comparable sales and the active competition rather than a blended number. Confirm everything against the live listings before you lean on a figure.
In an attached community, two townhomes the same size are two different homes the moment you see which one is the end unit.
Trails & outdoors
Three kinds of desert at the door.
Living this close to the mountain, the access is the draw. From Red Mountain Townhomes you can be on slickrock, on river-corridor singletrack, or inside a state park inside fifteen minutes, with the Red Mountain wall rising right off the neighborhood. Here is the honest tiering, from off-the-front-door to a short drive.
Red Mountain wilderness (hard)
The wall in front of the neighborhood is the Red Mountain plateau. Routes up to the rim and the overlook above Snow Canyon are a real climb, with a long valley view as the payoff.
Santa Clara River Reserve (easy to moderate)
A few minutes south, the roughly 6,500-acre reserve's network includes the Anasazi Valley petroglyph trail and Cove Wash, mellow desert miles that suit a morning walk or an after-work ride.
Snow Canyon State Park (all levels)
Five minutes east up the parkway, the park packs slickrock, the lava-tube caves, the Petrified Dunes, and Jenny's Canyon into a compact loop you can do in an evening or a full day.
Gunlock and Baker reservoirs (~25 min)
Up Old Highway 91 past the reserve, Gunlock State Park adds open water for boating and fishing, with its waterfalls running in the years the spring snowmelt is big.
Farther afield, Zion National Park is about an hour east, and the high country of Pine Valley and the Dixie National Forest is a seasonal drive north when the valley heat sets in. The wider outdoor picture for the area lives in the Ivins guide.
Trail details come from Utah State Parks, the BLM, and the Santa Clara River Reserve. Confirm seasonal access and trail conditions before you go.
Errands & drive times
The everyday loop, in minutes.
This is the practical answer to "how far is everything from up here." The honest version: recreation is close, daily errands are a drive south and east toward Santa Clara and St. George. Times are measured from the Red Mountain Townhomes at the base of Red Mountain; from the far units, add a minute.
| The errand | Where it happens | From the townhomes |
|---|---|---|
| Full grocery run | Lin's Fresh Market, Santa Clara | ~10 min |
| Coffee and a gallery | Kayenta Art Village, Center St | ~8 min |
| Hardware and home improvement | Lowe's, Sunset Blvd, St. George | ~15 min |
| Healthcare | St. George Regional Hospital | ~18 min |
| Freeway on-ramp | I-15 at Bluff Street, St. George | ~17 min |
| A night out | Tuacahn Center for the Arts | ~5 min |
| State park day | Snow Canyon State Park entrance | ~5 min |
| Flights | St. George Regional Airport (SGU) | ~25 min |
| Trailhead | Santa Clara River Reserve | ~8 min |
Farther out, the weekend map opens up fast: Zion National Park is about an hour east on I-15, Sand Hollow Reservoir is roughly thirty minutes southeast, and Las Vegas is about two hours southwest. The full day-trip map lives in the Ivins guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Red Mountain Townhomes is part of the Washington County School District. The neighborhood is generally served by Red Mountain Elementary (grades K-5), which sits inside Ivins at 263 East 200 South, then Lava Ridge Intermediate (grades 6-7) and Snow Canyon Middle (grades 8-9) in Santa Clara, and Snow Canyon High (grades 10-12). It is the same feeder chain that serves most of Ivins.
Boundaries can shift as Ivins and Santa Clara grow, so confirm the current assignment for any home you are serious about directly with the district rather than guessing from a map. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself.
I cover the bigger education picture for the area in the Ivins guide.
The lock-and-leave niche
Why attached product is its own market.
This section exists because the one thing that sets Red Mountain Townhomes apart is the product itself. Ivins is a detached-custom town, with the median value among the highest in Washington County and most of the inventory sitting on its own lot. Attached townhomes at the base of Red Mountain are the exception, not the rule, and that makes them a distinct slice of the market with its own buyer logic and its own resale pattern.
The appeal is a property trait, not a buyer profile. Because the home is attached and the footprint is compact, there is far less yard and exterior to manage, so the home is genuinely easy to close up and walk away from for a weekend or a season. That low-upkeep, leave-it-and-go pattern fits a life that travels or splits time between places, and it fits anyone who would rather spend a Saturday on the Red Mountain trails than behind a mower. The home enables that pattern; I describe it by what the property does, not by who I imagine living in it.
What a townhome buyer should actually check is different from what you weigh on a detached lot. The shared-wall construction is the first thing: how the wall is built, and whether there is any sound or moisture history worth a closer look. Parking is the second, since the garage and any guest spaces have to fit your real vehicles. And the third is resale: in a detached-dominated market, the pool of comparable attached sales is small, so I look hard at how this product trades before I price a buy. None of that is a strike against the townhomes, it is simply the right checklist for attached homes instead of detached ones.
What I check before I call a townhome a clean buy
- The shared-wall construction, including how the party wall is built and any history of sound or moisture between units.
- The parking, since the attached two-car garage and any guest spaces need to fit your actual vehicles and visitors.
- The building position, because an end unit with a Red Mountain outlook is a different home than an interior one at the same square footage.
- The resale pool, since attached homes trade less often than detached ones in Ivins and the right comparable sales are harder to find.
This is general guidance, not an inspection report. Confirm any specific property with a qualified inspector and the relevant professionals before you rely on it. Sources: the local MLS, recorded plats, and Washington County GIS.
What locals know
The details I would slow down and check.
Red Mountain Townhomes rewards a buyer who reads the product before the listing: the shared wall, the building position, the parking, and the small resale pool. These are the four things I would walk a friend through before they get attached to any one unit here.
-
The building position sets the price. An end unit with an open Red Mountain outlook is not the same home as an interior unit, even at the same square footage. Read the position first.
-
It is attached, so check the wall. Shared-wall homes live differently than detached ones. Look at how the party wall is built and ask about any sound or moisture history before you commit.
-
Lock-and-leave is the property, not a promise. The compact footprint makes this low-upkeep and easy to close up, which is a trait of the attached home itself. Confirm the home fits the life you actually live.
-
Thin attached inventory cuts both ways. Few townhomes list here, so a strong one moves fast and a stale comp misleads. I price off the most recent sales and the live competition, not an old average.

Buying in Red Mountain Townhomes
Red Mountain Townhomes sits in northern Ivins, on the Malorie Way streets just off Snow Canyon Parkway at the base of Red Mountain. The parkway puts the Snow Canyon State Park entrance, Tuacahn, and the Red Mountain trails all within a few minutes, while Santa Clara and St. George sit a short drive east. It is one of the few attached-townhome pockets this close to the mountain.
Attached two-story townhomes, built in modern Southwest and desert-contemporary styles. The common plan runs around 1,767 square feet with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and an attached two-car garage, with granite counters, stainless appliances, and a fenced patio at the back. The community holds roughly 40 to 60 attached units, which makes it one of the smaller-footprint, lower-upkeep options in a town built mostly of detached customs.
Red Mountain Townhomes is part of the Washington County School District, generally served by Red Mountain Elementary (grades K-5) inside Ivins, then Lava Ridge Intermediate (grades 6-7) and Snow Canyon Middle (grades 8-9) in Santa Clara, and Snow Canyon High (grades 10-12).

Yes, and that is much of the appeal. The Snow Canyon State Park entrance is about five minutes east up Snow Canyon Parkway, the Red Mountain trails rise straight off the north edge of the neighborhood, and the Santa Clara River Reserve network sits a few minutes south. For a lower-upkeep home, the recreation here is unusually close to the front door.
Attached townhomes here have generally been the more accessible entry point into the Red Mountain part of Ivins, where the surrounding market is dominated by detached customs. Recent sales have generally landed from the high $300,000s into the $500,000s, depending on size, condition, and an end-unit versus interior position. Treat that as a starting frame and confirm against the live listings, because in a small attached pool a single sale moves the average.
Because the homes are attached and the footprints are compact, there is far less yard and exterior to manage than on a detached lot, so the home is easy to close up and walk away from for a weekend or a season. I describe that as a property trait of the attached product, not a promise about who lives here. If a low-upkeep, leave-it-and-go pattern is what you are after, this is one of the few places in Ivins that offers it this close to the mountain.

Selling in Red Mountain Townhomes
Look at the shared-wall construction and any sound or moisture history, confirm the garage and guest parking work for your vehicles, and read where the unit sits in its building, since an end unit with a mountain outlook is a different home than an interior one at the same square footage. Because this is attached product in a detached-dominated market, I also weigh the resale pool carefully before pricing a buy.
List it with me, Scott Buehler, and your home is featured across Moving Utah, on this page, on the Ivins hub, and in the featured listings buyers browse on this site. The get featured page walks through exactly how that works.
I start with live MLS comps inside Red Mountain Townhomes and the comparable attached product in northern Ivins, then adjust for floor plan, end-unit versus interior position, the quality of the Red Mountain outlook, condition, and finish level. Because attached homes trade less often than detached ones out here, I lean on the most recent sales and the active competition rather than a stale average.
Yes, but on a purchase I take one role only, never both. I can work as your real estate agent or as your lender, and the role is disclosed before we move forward.
