Living in Foster Hills South

Foster Hills South is a subdivision on St. George's east side. The county recorded it in five separate phases between December 1994 and June 1995. That is how the county filed it, not a sales pitch, and it explains why the streets do not all look alike. A subdivision built in five phases in under two years grew a block or two at a time, not all at once.

The neighborhood sits between 2000 East and 2200 East, near 100 South. Panorama Elementary and Centennial Park share one address, 301 North 2200 East, about two blocks north of the plat. That makes it a handy spot to measure from, since a school, a park, and the middle of the neighborhood are all in one place.

Washington County's subdivision records also show a separate Foster Hills East and a separate Foster Hills Est., recorded nearby in the same years. The three are not the same plat. Before I compare a listing with Foster Hills South sales, I check its recorded name.

Foster Hills South is a single-family subdivision built in five recorded phases in 1994 and 1995, so most of the homes date to the mid-1990s. That age matters more than the subdivision name for knowing what to expect. Original kitchens, original heating and cooling systems, and mature landscaping are all common in a neighborhood this age, and so are homes that a later owner has fully updated.

I would not quote a lot size, a square footage range, or a builder for this plat without pulling the current MLS data first. I would rather tell you that than guess at a pattern. What I can say with confidence is that it is a recorded, active single-family subdivision, not a mix of home types. And because it was filed in phases, a street on the earliest 1994 phase and a street on the last 1995 phase are not guaranteed to look alike.

The live listings at the top of this page are filtered to the recorded plat and update as homes list and sell. If nothing is for sale when you check, that tells you something too. It usually means homes here do not come up for sale often, and a seller who does list has few other homes competing with theirs.

Foster Hills South is part of the Washington County School District. Panorama Elementary (grades K-5) sits at 301 North 2200 East, about two blocks north of the neighborhood. From there, students generally go on to Pine View Intermediate (grades 6-7), then Pine View Middle School (grades 8-9) and Pine View High School (grades 10-12). The high school is at 2850 East 750 North.

Boundaries can shift, so check the current school for any home you are serious about with the district itself, not this page. For outside school data, GreatSchools and Niche both publish numbers you can weigh yourself.

The recorded plat name is Foster Hills South, but plenty of listings and sites shorten it to Foster Hills. That shorthand is not exactly wrong, but it is loose. Washington County's own subdivision records show three separate nearby plats from the same mid-1990s years: Foster Hills South, Foster Hills East, and Foster Hills Est. They are not the same subdivision, and sales pulled from the wrong one will mislead you.

I treat the recorded name as the truth. When I pull sales or price a home here, I first check the plat name on the county record. Then I search both the full name and the shorthand in the MLS, so I do not miss a listing tagged either way. It is a small step that keeps a five-phase 1990s subdivision from getting mixed up with its similarly named neighbors.

If you are buying and see "Foster Hills" on a listing site, ask which recorded plat it sits in before you assume it is Foster Hills South. For a seller, the same care protects your price, since sales from the wrong plat can push a value up or down.
