The newest casita and ADU listings.

Fed straight from the local MLS and filtered to homes with a casita or an accessory dwelling: new St. George listings appear here as they list, and sold homes drop off. The local read on casita types and where they cluster is just below.

If the grid looks thin today, that is the real market, not a glitch: casita and ADU listings genuinely run lean some weeks. Tell me what you are after and I will flag the next match as soon as it lists.

The local read


What a casita or ADU means in St. George.

A casita is a secondary living space, and out here that is a Southwest staple rather than a novelty. It might be an attached suite with its own entrance off a courtyard, or a fully detached guest casita sitting a few steps from the main house. In a newer floor plan the same idea shows up as a "next-gen" suite built right into the home. The label on a listing is loose, so I read the floor plan and confirm what is actually there: an attached room, a detached building, or a true accessory dwelling set up to run on its own.

The homes that carry one cluster in the newer south-side builds, Desert Color and Little Valley especially, where current plans offer the suite as an option, and in the luxury tier at Entrada and Stone Cliff, where a detached casita on a larger lot is part of the look. You also find it as a standalone casita out toward the Ledges and SunRiver, where the lots are big enough to set a second small building apart from the house. Older central areas like Bloomington carry fewer, and when one turns up there it is often an addition rather than original to the build.

The questions that actually decide a casita are practical ones. Is it attached to the house or a detached building. Does it have a kitchenette or a full kitchen. Is there a separate entrance. Was the space permitted, or finished quietly after the fact. And, the one that trips people up most, is renting it out allowed, short term or long term, because that answer depends on the zone the home sits in and the rules change over time. I verify those rather than assume them, every time.

Think of the space by what it does, not who fills it: a place for guests to land, a quiet home office away from the main house, a studio for the hobby that needs its own door, or, where the zoning allows it, a possible rental. Earlier in the process than "show me listings"? Start with the St. George guide or the cost of living page. When a home below reads right, that is the moment to call.

Casita types here

  • Attached suite vs. detached casita: an attached room or wing with a separate entrance, or a standalone building set apart from the house. Both list as a casita, so confirm which one you are looking at.

  • Kitchenette vs. full kitchen: a wet bar and microwave is a guest setup, a full kitchen is what lets the space run on its own as an accessory dwelling.

  • Permitted vs. not: a space finished without permits may not count as livable area or may need work to bring it current. Confirm it before you write an offer.

  • Rental rules vary by zone: whether a casita can be rented, short term or long term, depends on the zone and changes over time. Verify, never assume. Use the space for guests, an office, or a studio with confidence; treat a rental as a question to answer first.

The local map


Where the casita homes actually are.

A separate suite follows the newer plans and the larger lots, which in St. George means the south side and the luxury tier. Here is where they concentrate, plus the part of town where a casita is the exception worth a second look.

Desert Color

Master-planned new construction on the south end. Current floor plans often offer a next-gen suite or a casita, and on a new build you can usually spec the layout before the slab is poured.

Little Valley

The south-side engine of newer inventory. Larger lots and recent floor plans, where an attached suite with its own entrance shows up on the bigger homes.

Entrada & the Ledges

The northwest and north-side luxury tier near the golf courses. Larger custom homes here often include a detached guest casita set apart from the main house on the bigger pads.

Stone Cliff

A gated east-side enclave of larger custom homes. A casita, attached or detached, shows up here on the bigger pads in the luxury tier.

SunRiver

Large single-level lots on the south end, where the floor plans sometimes include a separate suite or a casita, and the lots leave room to set one apart.

Central St. George

Bloomington, Dixie Downs, and much of Green Valley were built before a casita was standard, so a separate suite there is the exception, and often an addition. Read the floor plan and the permits closely if you find one.

Before you tour: what to actually check

Attached or detached: a listing that says casita may mean a wing of the house or a standalone building. Confirm which one before you tour.

Kitchen or kitchenette: a wet bar is a guest setup. A full kitchen is what lets the space run on its own. Check what is actually installed.

Separate entrance: a private door off a courtyard or the street changes how the space lives day to day. Walk it.

Permitted space: confirm the casita was built or finished with permits. An unpermitted room may not count as livable area.

Rental rules: whether you can rent it, short term or long term, depends on the zone and changes over time. Verify it for the exact address.

Utilities and parking: ask whether the casita has its own heating and cooling, its own meter, and a parking spot. Some run independently, some share with the house.

Quick answers


Casita and ADU shopping, answered.

Both words point at a secondary living space, and the listings use them loosely. A casita is usually a guest room or suite with its own entrance, sometimes attached to the house and sometimes a detached building near it. ADU is the zoning word for an accessory dwelling unit, the kind that adds a kitchen and is set up to function on its own. The label on the listing is a starting point, not a guarantee, so I read the floor plan and confirm what is actually there before you fall for the word.

A separate suite is a Southwest staple, so it shows up across town, but it concentrates in the newer south-side builds like Desert Color and Little Valley, in the luxury tier at Entrada and Stone Cliff, and as a detached casita on the bigger lots out toward the Ledges and SunRiver. Older central areas like Bloomington carry fewer, and when one turns up there it is often an addition rather than original to the house.

Sometimes, and it depends entirely on the zone the home sits in and whether the space is permitted, and the rules change over time. Some areas allow a long-term rental, short-term nightly rental is far more restricted and is only allowed in specific overlay zones, and a space that was finished without permits may not count at all. Never assume from the listing photos. Tell me what you are hoping to do and I will help you confirm it against the current rules before you write an offer.

Not necessarily, and that is the line worth knowing. A guest casita often has a bedroom, a bath, and a separate entrance but only a wet bar or a kitchenette, while a full ADU adds a real kitchen so the space can run independently. If a separate kitchen matters to you, read the listing closely and verify it in person, because a kitchenette and a full kitchen are described the same loose way and live very differently.

Usually a little, because the extra square footage and the second entrance tend to ride with a newer or larger home, so these listings often sit above the city's mid-point rather than below it. Whole-home prices still cover a wide range depending on the area and whether the space is attached or detached, and the live listings above are the honest answer on any given week.

Tell me the budget, the part of town, and whether you want an attached suite or a detached casita with its own kitchen, and I will flag matching listings as they go live, usually the same morning. Pair that with a pre-approval and you can tour the good ones before the weekend crowd does.
