A St. George community
Living in Emerald Ridge.
A small attached community on the Dixie Downs Road corridor in northwest St. George, between Sunset Boulevard and Snow Canyon Parkway. Forty-seven units share one street address here, which makes it one of the more compact communities I work in this part of the city.

Life in Emerald Ridge
One address, a small footprint, a straight answer.
Emerald Ridge is easy to describe because it is small and specific: 47 attached units sharing the single address of 1806 North Dixie Downs Road, on the corridor that runs from Sunset Boulevard north to Snow Canyon Parkway. It is not a neighborhood of individually addressed houses on named streets. It is one recorded plat, and every home in it carries a unit number off that one address.
That matters for how you should search and how you should compare. A community this size does not generate a broad market of its own. What is on the MLS on any given week is close to the whole picture, and the honest way to shop it is to watch the listings feed rather than assume a typical price band exists the way it would in a 300-home subdivision.
The location itself is straightforward Dixie Downs corridor: close to the Sunset Boulevard commercial strip to the south, with Snow Canyon Parkway and the drive toward Snow Canyon State Park to the north. It is a practical, car-dependent pocket of northwest St. George, not a scenic-view property.
Corridor highlights
What the Dixie Downs corridor actually gives you.
Four things are specific and verifiable about this stretch of northwest St. George: one shared address for the whole community, an elementary school close by, a straight shot to two of the city's main east-west roads, and a defined I-15 on-ramp.
One address, 47 units
Washington County parcel records tag every home here SG-EMR-1 through SG-EMR-47, all under 1806 N Dixie Downs Rd. It is one of the more compact plats in this part of the city.
An elementary close by
Paradise Canyon Elementary, grades K-5, sits at 1795 W 1230 N in the Dixie Downs area, a short distance from the community.
Two main roads, one corridor
Dixie Downs Road connects Sunset Boulevard on the south end to Snow Canyon Parkway on the north end, putting the community on a single, legible north-south spine.
A defined freeway on-ramp
Sunset Boulevard runs to Bluff Street, which meets I-15 at Exit 6, giving this pocket a clear route onto the freeway without cutting through downtown.
The units
A small, attached product with a thin comp pool.
Individual unit listings I have reviewed put Emerald Ridge in the 1,300 to 1,400 square foot range, generally 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. That is a consistent, modest attached-home footprint, not a range of custom floor plans. Because the whole community is only 47 units, do not expect the variety you would see in a larger subdivision. What you get is a specific, repeatable product.
With that few units, pricing is set almost entirely by whatever is actively listed rather than a broad statistical band. A single well-priced or poorly-priced unit can swing what looks like "the market" here more than it would in a bigger community. I would treat any median or average you see quoted for Emerald Ridge with real caution and instead look at the handful of comparable closed sales directly.
Forty-seven units is not enough to build a market average on. Look at the comps, not the headline number.
Errands & drive times
Errands, measured in minutes.
Times below are measured from Dixie Downs Road at the community's address. This corridor runs south to the Sunset Boulevard retail strip and north toward Snow Canyon Parkway, so most errands point one of those two directions.
| The errand | Where it happens | From Dixie Downs Rd |
|---|---|---|
| Grocery run | Albertsons, N Dixie Dr & Sunset Blvd | ~5 min |
| Freeway on-ramp | I-15 at Bluff Street, Exit 6 | ~7 min |
| Elementary school | Paradise Canyon Elementary, 1795 W 1230 N | ~3 min |
| Snow Canyon State Park | North on Dixie Downs Rd to Snow Canyon Pkwy | ~15 min |
Downtown St. George and the rest of the city's shopping and dining sit south along Bluff Street and St. George Boulevard once you are on I-15. The fuller day-trip and errand map for the whole city lives in the St. George guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Emerald Ridge is in the Washington County School District, in the Dixie feeder cone. The area is generally served by Paradise Canyon Elementary (grades K-5), a short distance away in the Dixie Downs area, then Dixie Intermediate (grades 6-7), Dixie Middle School (grades 8-9), and Dixie High School (grades 10-12).
Boundaries can shift, 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 in the St. George guide.
One address, 47 units
Why the name on the sign is not the whole picture.
I want to be direct about something the older version of this page got wrong: Emerald Ridge is not a subdivision of individually addressed detached houses on quiet named streets. County parcel records show all 47 homes here recorded under one street address, 1806 N Dixie Downs Rd, with each unit distinguished only by a unit number. That is a structurally different product than the typical St. George subdivision, and it changes how you should shop and price it.
Practically, that means a few things. First, there is no separate street grid to walk or compare against, the way there is in a 100-lot subdivision. Second, the comp pool tops out at 47 possible sales, ever, which is small even before you account for how few of those trade in a given year. Third, because units share a single site, shared-area maintenance and building condition matter more here than in a detached-home neighborhood, so a walk-through of the whole property, not just the unit for sale, tells you more than it would elsewhere.
None of this makes Emerald Ridge a bad option. It makes it a specific one: a compact, attached community in a practical, well-connected part of northwest St. George. I would just rather you know exactly what you are buying before you fall for a listing photo.

What locals know
Notes from this corner of town.
No listing photo tells you this part. After years of working with buyers across St. George, here is what I would tell a friend about Emerald Ridge.
-
It is one address, not a subdivision map. Do not go looking for a street grid named Emerald Ridge on the county plat. The entire community sits at 1806 N Dixie Downs Rd, numbered by unit.
-
Snow Canyon is a drive, not a doorstep. Dixie Downs Road does point toward Snow Canyon Parkway, but the state park is a genuine trip from here, not a five-minute stroll. Plan for the drive.
-
Small inventory cuts both ways. With 47 units total, you will not have many to choose from at once, but a serious buyer also is not competing against a flood of similar listings.
-
Walk the whole property, not just the unit. Because everything shares one site, the condition of the shared building and grounds tells you as much as the unit's own finishes.

Buying in Emerald Ridge
Emerald Ridge sits at 1806 North Dixie Downs Road, on the Dixie Downs corridor that runs between Sunset Boulevard and Snow Canyon Parkway in the northwest part of St. George. The whole community shares that one street address, with each home numbered as a unit.
Emerald Ridge is an attached community of 47 units, not a street grid of detached houses. County parcel records tag every unit SG-EMR-1 through SG-EMR-47, all under the single Dixie Downs Road address. Listing data I have seen for individual units shows roughly 1,300 to 1,400 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Dixie Downs Road does run north toward Snow Canyon Parkway, but Snow Canyon State Park itself is a genuine drive, not a next-door amenity. Treat it as a real Southern Utah destination worth the trip, not a walk from the driveway.
Because it is a small attached community, pricing follows whatever units happen to be listed rather than a broad neighborhood band. Recent unit-level data I have seen has landed in the high $300,000s to around $400,000, but that number moves with condition and whatever is currently active. Confirm against the live listings before you anchor on any figure.

Selling in Emerald Ridge
Attached-unit values move with condition, floor plan, and how recently a comparable unit sold, and there are only 47 units total to draw comps from. Start with the home valuation page and I will run a real comparison against recent Emerald Ridge sales, no obligation.
List with me and your home is featured across MovingUtah, on this page, on the St. George hub, and in the featured listings buyers browse on this site. The get featured page walks through exactly how that works.
With only 47 units in the entire community, the comp pool is thin by nature, and a well-priced, well-presented unit tends to stand out fast when it lists. Tell me your timeline and I will give you a straight read on what is active right now, 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.
