Life in Millcreek Cottages
An attached-home community off Sunset Boulevard.
Millcreek Cottages is one address, 1040 North 1300 West, that holds an entire attached-home community rather than a single house. County records show it recorded in four separate phases between 1985 and 2020, so instead of one uniform street of look-alike homes, you are looking at decades of building layered into one complex, all sharing the Millcreek Cottages name.
The community sits in northwest St. George off the Sunset Boulevard corridor, one of the city's older established travel routes. Units are individually numbered rather than street-addressed, which is the giveaway that this is a planned attached-home development, not a subdivision of detached houses on individual lots.
What ties it together across four decades of construction is the shared amenity package: an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, two neighborhood parks, and a clubhouse with a full kitchen. That is a meaningfully bigger amenity set than a typical townhome row, and it is worth walking the grounds in person rather than judging the community from a listing photo alone.
Community highlights
What sets this complex apart.
Four things define Millcreek Cottages and separate it from a plain townhome row: the two-pool amenity package, the four-phase build history, the Sunset Boulevard location, and the trail access a short drive north.
Two pools, indoor and outdoor
An indoor pool and an outdoor pool give year-round swim access, which is a rare amenity pairing for an attached-home community this size.
A clubhouse with a full kitchen
The clubhouse and two neighborhood parks give the community shared gathering space beyond the individual units, something not every attached-home complex offers.
Chuckwalla Trail, a short drive north
The Chuckwalla trailhead in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve sits off Bluff Street about a mile north of Sunset Boulevard, an easy hike without a long drive to reach it.
Four decades under one name
Phase 1 recorded in 1985 and Phase 4 recorded in 2020. That range means a buyer needs to ask which phase a specific unit belongs to before assuming its age or finish level.
Homes & phases
One address, four build generations.
Millcreek Cottages recorded as four separate phases with Washington County: Phase 1 in 1985, Phase 2 in 1988, Phase 3 in 1995, and Phase 4 in 2020. That is unusual. Most subdivisions build out in a handful of years and stop. This one added a fourth phase decades after the first three, which means a 2020-built unit and a 1985-built unit can sit inside the same complex, wearing the same subdivision name on the MLS.
Units here are individually numbered rather than addressed by street, the standard pattern for a planned attached-home development. That structure also means the county records the community as a whole rather than as individual detached lots, so a buyer's due diligence looks different than it would for a standard subdivision: confirm the phase, the unit number, and the recorded plat for the specific unit you are considering.
I have not independently verified current square footage, unit counts, or an active price range for this community this session, and I would rather tell you that plainly than invent a number. Pull live MLS comps filtered to Millcreek Cottages and to the specific phase before you form an opinion on value.
A 2020 unit and a 1985 unit can share the same subdivision name. They should not share the same comp.
Trails & outdoors
Red rock a short drive north.
The Chuckwalla Trail is the closest named trail to the community and the one I point buyers to first. It sits inside the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, off Bluff Street roughly a mile north of Sunset Boulevard, an easy 1.7-mile hike with a parking area and picnic spots at the trailhead.
Chuckwalla Trail (easy)
An easy 1.7-mile hike in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, trailhead off Bluff Street about a mile north of Sunset Blvd, with a parking pull-out and picnic area at the start.
Shadow Mountain Park
A neighborhood park near the community for a shorter outing than a full trail hike, useful for an evening walk without loading up the car.
Trail details come from the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve and BLM trail information. The wider outdoor picture for St. George, including Snow Canyon and Zion, is in the St. George guide.

Snow Canyon State Park sits north of the city along the Sunset Boulevard corridor and is a short drive from this side of St. George. The full day-trip map, including Zion National Park, lives in the St. George guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Millcreek Cottages falls within the Washington County School District, which uses a four-tier structure: elementary schools for grades K-5, intermediate schools for grades 6-7, middle schools for grades 8-9, and high schools for grades 10-12.
I was not able to independently confirm the exact elementary, intermediate, middle, and high school assignment for this address this session. Boundaries shift as the district grows, so confirm the current assignment for any unit you are serious about directly with the district's boundary maps rather than guessing from proximity. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself.

One name, four phases
Why the phase matters more than the name.
It is worth explaining plainly, because it is the single fact that shapes everything else on this page: Millcreek Cottages is not one construction project. It is four, recorded 35 years apart, with Phase 1 filed in 1985 and Phase 4 filed in 2020. Most St. George subdivisions build out over a handful of years and stop. This community kept adding phases across four decades, which means the MLS can show you units that are functionally two different eras of construction sitting under the exact same subdivision name.
That matters for two practical reasons. First, comps: an appraiser or an agent pulling "Millcreek Cottages" comps without separating phase and build year can produce a number that mixes a 1980s unit with a 2020s unit, and that number will not hold up under scrutiny. Second, condition and systems: roofing, plumbing, and mechanical systems installed in 1985 are on a very different maintenance clock than the same systems installed in 2020, even within the same complex and the same amenity package.
I treat the phase as the first filter on this community, not an afterthought. Before I get excited about a listing here, or price one for a seller, I confirm which phase the unit belongs to and pull comps from that phase specifically.
What I check before I call a unit here a safe bet
- Which recorded phase the unit belongs to, and the build year that phase represents.
- The comp set, limited to units from the same or a comparable phase, not the whole complex.
- Roof, plumbing, and mechanical age against the phase's build year, not an assumption from the listing photos.
- The recorded plat for the specific unit against Washington County's subdivision records.
This is general guidance based on Washington County GIS subdivision records, not an inspection report. Confirm any specific unit's phase, condition, and systems with a qualified inspector before you rely on it.
What locals know
The details I would slow down and check.
Millcreek Cottages rewards a buyer who reads past the subdivision name. These are the things I would walk a friend through before they get attached to any one unit here.
-
Ask the phase before you ask the price. A 1985 unit and a 2020 unit can list side by side. The phase tells you more about what you are actually buying than the square footage on the flyer.
-
The amenity package is a real draw. Two pools and a clubhouse with a kitchen is more than most attached-home communities in St. George offer. Factor that into how you compare it against other complexes.
-
Comp it against attached homes only. An appraisal here pulls from other attached units, not the detached single-family market down the street. Make sure whoever runs your numbers knows that.
-
Confirm the school boundary directly. I could not verify the exact elementary assignment for this address, and you should not guess either. Check it with the district before you count on a specific school.

Buying in Millcreek Cottages
Millcreek Cottages sits off Sunset Boulevard in northwest St. George, with the community addressed at 1040 North 1300 West. It is a recorded subdivision that grew in four phases between 1985 and 2020, which is part of why the units vary by age even though they share one name.
Millcreek Cottages is an attached-home community, individually numbered rather than addressed like a typical street of detached houses. Expect cottage- and townhome-scale units built across four development phases, so finish level and age can differ from one unit to the next even within the same complex.
The community includes an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, two neighborhood parks, and a clubhouse with a full kitchen. That amenity mix is part of what separates it from a bare-bones townhome row and is worth walking in person before you compare it to other attached-home communities.
Yes. The Chuckwalla Trail, an easy hike in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, starts from a trailhead off Bluff Street about a mile north of Sunset Boulevard, roughly a ten-minute drive from the community. Shadow Mountain Park is also nearby for a shorter walk or bike ride.
Millcreek Cottages falls within the Washington County School District, which runs a four-tier system: elementary (grades K-5), intermediate (grades 6-7), middle school (grades 8-9), and high school (grades 10-12). I was not able to independently confirm the exact elementary boundary for this address, so confirm the current assignment directly with the district before you rely on it.

Selling in Millcreek Cottages
Attached homes here price against other attached homes in St. George, not against detached single-family houses, and the four build phases mean unit age and finish level vary. I would pull live comps from the MLS filtered to this subdivision before quoting a number, and I am happy to run that for you.
Know which phase your unit belongs to. A Phase 4 unit built in 2020 and a Phase 1 unit from 1985 can sit in the same complex and price very differently, so the comp set has to match phase and finish level, not just the subdivision name.
I start with live MLS comps limited to Millcreek Cottages, then narrow by phase and unit size so I am comparing like with like. From there I adjust for condition, floor level, garage or carport, and proximity to the pool and clubhouse.
List it 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.
Yes, but on a purchase I take one role only, never both. I can work as your real estate agent or as your lender, and the role is disclosed before we move forward.
