Living in Cox Landing on 900 East

Cox Landing is one of those St. George neighborhoods that most people drive past without ever noticing. The small subdivision sits on the east side of the central street grid, tucked in at 900 East and 1000 South. Streets like S 900 E St, E 1070 S St, and E 1010 S St run through it, and two cul-de-sacs (dead-end streets) sit on E 930 S Cir and E 970 S Cir. It has no gate, no monument sign, and no sales pitch, just an established block of homes that happens to sit next to a well-used city park.

The draw here is where the neighborhood sits, not what is inside it. You are about a mile and a half east of historic downtown, close enough to reach the Main Street and Tabernacle area in a few minutes. You are also far enough off the busy main roads that the streets stay calm. The county recorded the first phase back in 1995 and a second phase in 2004. Recording a phase means filing its plat, the official map of the lots. The trees have had time to fill in, so the neighborhood feels settled rather than raw.

Day to day, this is a walk-the-dog-to-the-park kind of block. Boots Cox Family Park is right at the southern edge, so a lot of daily life here happens on foot. For anything bigger, River Road and the freeway are a short drive east, which keeps errands and commutes simple and traffic off your doorstep.

Cox Landing is a small neighborhood of detached single-family homes, each on its own lot. Washington County parcel records for the CXL subdivision code show about 39 addressed homes across the two recorded phases. That makes it a finished neighborhood, not one still being built. Sample homes in county and MLS records were built roughly between 1999 and 2005, which fits a subdivision recorded in the mid-1990s and rounded out in the mid-2000s.

The lots are the part worth noting. Sample parcels here run in the quarter-acre to third-acre range. That is generous this close to the center of town, where a lot of the newer homes sit on smaller lots. The extra ground shows up as real yards, and some parcels have room for RV or trailer parking. The homes sit far enough apart that the block does not feel packed in.

Before I quote a number, I check the current condition, square footage, and any updates against the specific listing. In a subdivision this size, two homes can be a decade apart on finishes, and a citywide median (the middle price) does not describe these streets. Use the live listings on this page as your starting point, and let me pull the closest recent sales for the rest.

The everyday outdoor space here is Boots Cox Family Park, right at the south end of the subdivision on 900 East. The 4.5-acre neighborhood park has a walking path, a playground, tennis and basketball courts, a sand volleyball court, and a covered pavilion. It is the go-to spot for a morning walk or an after-dinner loop, and you never need the car. Sycamore Park on 1100 East is close by too if you want a change of scenery.

For a longer walk or ride, try the paved Virgin River Trail. It runs along the river south of the neighborhood, a short drive down the River Road side of town. The flat, hard-surfaced path is built for strollers, bikes, and easy miles along the water, and it joins a larger paved network that reaches well beyond this neighborhood. The bigger red-rock trail systems and reserves are a normal St. George drive away, and I map those out on the St. George guide.

Cox Landing is in the Washington County School District. The district splits its schools into four levels. Elementary is kindergarten through fifth grade, intermediate is sixth and seventh, middle is eighth and ninth, and high school is tenth through twelfth. On the district's map this neighborhood goes to Heritage Elementary for the early grades, Dixie Intermediate for grades six and seven, Dixie Middle for grades eight and nine, and Dixie High for grades ten through twelve. All are a short drive west toward downtown.

I am naming the nearby schools, not the confirmed assignment. District boundaries shift, and the intermediate school for grades six and seven can be assigned differently than you would guess from a map. Before you count on a school, confirm the current assignment for your exact address directly with the district.
