A La Verkin community
Homes for sale in Crestview Village.
A bench-top subdivision on the east side of La Verkin where the view across the Virgin River gorge is the reason people buy here and the reason they stay. Pine Valley Mountain fills the eastern horizon, the Hurricane Cliffs catch the morning light, and the hot springs are five minutes down into the canyon.

Current listings
Homes for sale in Crestview Village.
No active listings today. Crestview Village stacks about sixty homes along the east bench, and owners who wake up to Pine Valley Mountain rarely hand over the keys. Expect this feed to stay quiet until the MLS logs the next one, at which point it appears here immediately. Prefer to hunt on your own? Open the map search or start from the homepage.

Walkout basements with gorge views are rare currency in La Verkin, so Crestview Village stays flagged in my Washington County MLS searches. Describe the setup you want, rambler or two-story, sunset side or mountain side, and I will be your early warning.

Life on the bench
What a day with a view looks like.
Morning in Crestview Village is why people pay the view premium. The sun breaks over the Hurricane Cliffs and lights up Pine Valley Mountain across the gorge, and from an east-facing deck you watch the whole show with a cup of coffee. The bench sits high enough to catch the breeze and low enough that a grocery run still takes six minutes. That is the balance: a view that feels like a retreat, with the town you actually live in still at the bottom of the hill.
Midday on the bench is quieter than you would expect. The streets are set back from SR-9, and the elevation means you hear the hum of the highway less than the subdivisions on the flats. Confluence Park is about seven minutes down the road. The Sheep Bridge trailhead, the gateway to forty miles of BLM singletrack, is about eight minutes up SR-9 toward Virgin. The hot springs in the gorge are five minutes down into the canyon.
Evening is the second act of the view show. West-facing homes catch the sunset over the St. George valley, and east-facing decks watch the cliffs go gold and then go dark. The bench cools off faster than the river bottom, and by the time the stars come out, you have forgotten you are six minutes from a Walmart.
Neighborhood highlights
The highlight reel, all within minutes.
The gorge panorama
East-facing homes look across the Virgin River gorge to the Hurricane Cliffs. The view changes hourly with the light. West-facing homes catch the sunset over the St. George valley. Either way, you are buying a sightline.
Zion Canyon Hot Springs
Reopened July 2025 at the historic Pah Tempe site. Terraced soaking pools in the Virgin River gorge, about five minutes from the bench down into the canyon. The kind of amenity that changes your Tuesday evening routine.
River Rock Roasting Co.
La Verkin's coffee roastery and cafe on the rim of the Virgin River gorge, about four minutes from Crestview Village. Open since 2012, with a patio that overlooks the canyon and a roasting operation you can smell from the parking lot.
Confluence Park
A 344-acre county park where three waterways meet, about seven minutes from the bench. Trails, fishing, paddleboarding, and the 1929 hydroelectric plant ruins spread across the river bottom.
JEM & Hurricane Cliffs trails
About forty miles of BLM singletrack reachable from the Sheep Bridge trailhead roughly eight minutes up SR-9. The bench location puts you closer to the trailhead than most of town.
SR-9, the Zion corridor
Crestview Village sits just off the SR-9 corridor on the east side of town, which puts Zion National Park's south entrance about twenty-five minutes away and Hurricane's shopping about six minutes across the bridge.
Homes & lots
Where the view is the square footage that matters.
Crestview Village started building in the late 1990s and filled out through the 2010s, one of the newer bench subdivisions in La Verkin. Sixty-plus single-family homes sit on lots that range from a quarter-acre to about a third of an acre, with ramblers and two-story plans common. The bench slope means a healthy share of homes have walkout basements or elevated decks oriented toward the gorge, which turns the lower level from a basement into a view room.
Lot sizes are tighter than the older orchard-block subdivisions down in town, but you are not buying acreage here. You are buying elevation and orientation. The difference between a good lot and a great lot in Crestview Village is which direction the deck faces and whether the neighbor's roofline cuts into your sightline.
On the bench, two lots a hundred feet apart can live very differently.
One thing to know when you are looking: the bench catches more wind than the river bottom, which is mostly a blessing in July and mostly an annoyance in March. Pay attention to window placement and whether the deck has any windbreak. A well-placed deck with a glass railing turns the gorge into your living room. A poorly placed one turns your barbecue into a wind tunnel.
The gorge & the view
A canyon panorama and a hot spring, both looking up at you.
The Virgin River gorge is the defining feature of Crestview Village, even though you cannot see the river itself from most lots. What you see is the canyon wall on the far side: layered sandstone and basalt rising toward Pine Valley Mountain, with the Hurricane Cliffs running north-south along the eastern horizon. The view changes by the hour as the light moves, and it changes by the season as the snow line creeps up and down the mountain. It is the kind of view that makes visitors stop mid-sentence.
Five minutes down into that same gorge sits Zion Canyon Hot Springs, reopened in July 2025 at the historic Pah Tempe site. The terraced pools descend into the canyon walls, and from the soaking tubs you look up at the same bench where Crestview Village sits. It is a rare arrangement: a neighborhood perched above a hot spring, rather than the other way around.
Pine Valley Mountain
The dominant feature on the eastern skyline, rising to over 10,000 feet. Snow-capped from November into May from the bench perspective, even when the valley floor is dry.
Hurricane Cliffs
The red rock escarpment running north-south east of town. Morning light hits the cliffs first, and from Crestview Village you watch the shadow line move across the rock face.
La Verkin Overlook
A public viewpoint into the gorge from the edge of town, about three minutes from Crestview Village. A different angle on the same canyon you see from your deck.
Zion Canyon Hot Springs
Terraced soaking pools at the Pah Tempe site, five minutes down into the gorge. A resort experience built into the canyon wall, not a roadside attraction.
The wider outdoors picture, Zion National Park and Sand Hollow included, is in the La Verkin guide.

The practical answer to "how far is everything." Crestview Village sits on the east side of La Verkin off the SR-9 corridor, which puts Hurricane's shopping about six minutes across the bridge and the Sheep Bridge trailhead about eight minutes toward Virgin.

|---|---|---|
| Full grocery run | Davis Food and Drug, Hurricane | ~6 min, across the bridge |
| Second grocery option | Lin's Marketplace, Hurricane | ~7 min |

| Coffee and baked goods | River Rock Roasting Company, in town | ~4 min |

| Trailhead | Sheep Bridge, Hurricane Cliffs/JEM access | ~8 min up SR-9 |
| Dinner out | Main Street Cafe, Hurricane | ~7 min |
| Healthcare | Intermountain Hurricane Valley InstaCare, Hurricane | ~7 min |

The Zion National Park south entrance at Springdale is about twenty-five minutes east on SR-9. Sand Hollow Reservoir is about seventeen minutes west, and Quail Creek Reservoir is about fourteen minutes. The full day-trip map lives in the La Verkin guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Crestview Village is served by the Washington County School District. LaVerkin Elementary sits in town, preschool through grade five. Hurricane Intermediate (grades 6-7), Hurricane Middle (grades 8-9), and Hurricane High (grades 10-12) are all across the bridge in Hurricane, roughly five to seven minutes from the bench. Valley Academy, a K-8 public charter, is also in Hurricane. Which specific schools serve a given address can change as the district adjusts boundaries, so confirm the current assignment for any home you are serious about directly with the district. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself.

What locals know
Notes from the bench.
No listing photo tells you this part. After twenty years of showing homes in La Verkin, here is what I would tell a friend about living on the bench.
The view is the square footage you use every day. Nobody ever regretted buying the view lot. The price difference between a view lot and a non-view lot on the bench shrinks over time, and the view is the thing you enjoy every single morning, not just on weekends.
The bench catches the breeze, and the breeze has an opinion. March and April gusts hit harder up here than they do on the river bottom. In July, that same breeze is the best air conditioning you never paid for.
You can walk to the hot springs. Well, you can walk down into the gorge. Walking back up is the part that separates the locals from the visitors. Most people drive the five minutes and call it close enough.
The snow line is your calendar. From the bench, Pine Valley Mountain wears snow from November into May. When the snow line drops below 7,000 feet, you know winter is actually here. When it retreats above 9,000, summer has arrived.
Buy or sell here
The buyer side and the seller side.
Buying in Crestview Village
Crestview Village sits on the bench above La Verkin, on the east side of town where the ground rises toward the Hurricane Cliffs. The name is earned: most homes have a clear sightline across the Virgin River gorge to Pine Valley Mountain, and the higher lots catch the sunrise over the cliffs.
Mostly single-family homes built from the late 1990s through the 2010s, with ramblers and two-story plans common. The bench setting means a number of homes have walkout basements or elevated decks oriented toward the gorge views. Lot sizes are typically a quarter-acre to a third of an acre.
The east-facing bench position gives most homes a sightline across the Virgin River gorge toward the Hurricane Cliffs and the Zion corridor. West-facing homes catch the sunset over Pine Valley Mountain and the St. George valley. The view is the premium here, and it varies meaningfully from lot to lot.
Crestview Village homes typically run a notch above La Verkin's entry-level subdivisions because of the view premium. Recent activity has generally landed from the low $400,000s to the upper $500,000s, with view lots commanding the top of the range. Prices move, so treat that as a starting point and confirm against the live listings.

It depends on what is available on the bench right now. Inventory in Crestview Village usually runs thin, and a home with a strong gorge view draws attention when little else is listed. Tell me your timeline and I will give you a straight read, not a pitch.
Yes, and it is common here. Timing the two is mostly a sequencing problem, and I cover the playbook in the buy and sell at once guide. Because I am dual-licensed, I can keep the sale, the search, and the financing on one desk.
