A St. George community
Living in Pheasant Springs.
A recorded subdivision off 1210 West in the Dixie Downs area of northwest St. George, built out on a plat recorded in 1995. It is a separate community from Pheasant Run Estates, a differently platted St. George subdivision with a similar name, so I always confirm which one a listing actually belongs to.

Current listings
Homes for sale in Pheasant Springs.
No active listings today. Pheasant Springs is one small, single-phase plat from 1995 tucked into the established Dixie Downs grid, so the pool of homes that could ever list here is genuinely limited. With so few homes that could ever change hands, any new one lands here the moment it is entered for listing. Prefer to hunt on your own? Open the map search or start from the homepage.

Life in Dixie Downs
An established grid, not the newest edge.
Pheasant Springs is a recorded subdivision off 1210 West, inside the older Dixie Downs street grid on St. George's northwest side. Washington County's plat records show it filed in September 1995, which puts it among the more established plats in this part of town rather than one of the newer subdivisions built on the edges of the city.
The Dixie Downs area grew up around its own elementary school and neighborhood park, and it still reads that way: mature trees, a settled grid of numbered streets, and Sunset Boulevard as the main spine for getting anywhere else. It is a working-class, lived-in part of St. George rather than a resort-style development.
Because the plat is decades old, I treat every Pheasant Springs listing as its own case. Lot sizes, additions, and updates vary house to house on an established grid like this one, so the comps have to come from the recorded plat itself, not a general Dixie Downs average.
Neighborhood highlights
What the Dixie Downs address actually gets you.
Four specific things define this corner of St. George: a neighborhood park with real amenities, an elementary school inside the same area, a direct line to Sunset Boulevard, and a recorded plat old enough to have grown-in yards.
Dixie Downs Park, on Dixie Drive
A 5.7-acre city park at 1027 South Dixie Drive with a splash pad, playground, skate park, and a looped walking trail. It doubles as the play space for the elementary school next door.
An elementary school in the area
Paradise Canyon Elementary, grades K-5, sits in the Dixie Downs area itself. The school has gone by two earlier names, Dixie Downs and Dixie Sun, before its 2019 rebrand.
Sunset Boulevard, minutes away
The Sunset Boulevard corridor carries the grocery stores, plazas, and everyday stops for this side of town, with 1210 West feeding onto it directly.
A 1995 plat, grown in
Recorded three decades ago, the neighborhood has had time for trees and landscaping to mature, a different feel than the newest subdivisions on the city's outer edges.
Homes & the plat
Read the plat before you read the price.
Pheasant Springs is a single-phase plat, detached single-family homes, recorded with Washington County in September 1995. That is the confirmed part. What I would not do is hand you a made-up median price or square footage, because on an established plat like this one, individual lots and additions vary enough that a neighborhood average can mislead more than it helps.
Instead, treat the live listings above as your real answer. When you are ready to look seriously, I pull closed sales from inside the recorded Pheasant Springs plat specifically, not the wider Dixie Downs area, and build the comp set from there.
On a plat this established, the recorded subdivision line matters more than the street address. Confirm which one before you compare a single price.
Parks & outdoors
The neighborhood park, then the river trail.
Dixie Downs Park is the walk-to option, and the paved Santa Clara River Trail is the short-drive option for a longer walk or ride.
Dixie Downs Park (neighborhood)
A splash pad, playground, skate park, basketball and baseball space, and a looped walking trail at 1027 South Dixie Drive. This is the everyday park for the area.
Santa Clara River Trail, ~10 min
A paved path along the Santa Clara River, reached from Tonaquint Park at 1851 South Dixie Drive, looping past picnic areas and an all-abilities playground.
Sources: St. George city park pages and U.S. Forest Service trail listings. The wider outdoor picture for St. George is in the St. George guide.
Errands & drive times
Errands, measured in minutes.
Sunset Boulevard is the default answer for errands from this part of town. Times below are measured from 1210 West, the street the plat sits on.
| The errand | Where it happens | From 1210 West |
|---|---|---|
| Full grocery run | Lin's, 1930 W Sunset Blvd | ~5 min |
| Second grocery option | Albertsons, 745 N Dixie Dr | ~6 min |
| Neighborhood park | Dixie Downs Park, S Dixie Dr | ~4 min |
| Freeway on-ramp | I-15 Exit 6, Bluff Street | ~10 min |
| Healthcare, main campus | St. George Regional Hospital, 1380 E Medical Center Dr | ~15 min |
| Paved river trail | Tonaquint Park, 1851 S Dixie Dr | ~10 min |
The honest read: this part of town runs on Sunset Boulevard and Dixie Drive rather than downtown St. George, and both the elementary school and the neighborhood park are close enough to reach without getting on a main road. The full city errand map is in the St. George guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Pheasant Springs is in the Washington County School District, which runs a four-tier structure: elementary (K-5), intermediate (6-7), middle (8-9), and high (10-12). Paradise Canyon Elementary (grades K-5) sits in the Dixie Downs area, the same neighborhood as this plat. The district's published feeder pattern for this side of St. George runs to Dixie Middle School (grades 8-9) and Dixie High School (grades 10-12).
I was not able to independently confirm the intermediate school, grades 6-7, for this specific plat, and boundaries can shift as the district grows. Confirm the current assignment for any home you are serious about directly with the district rather than assuming from a map. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself.
I cover the bigger education picture, including Utah Tech, in the St. George guide.
Two similar names
Pheasant Springs is not Pheasant Run Estates.
This is worth stating plainly, because it is the single easiest mistake to make when you search for this neighborhood online. St. George has two separately recorded subdivisions with similar pheasant-themed names: Pheasant Springs, the plat this page covers, recorded with Washington County in September 1995, and Pheasant Run Estates, a different recorded plat entirely, dating to 1987.
They are not phases of the same development and they do not share a plat number. A search engine, an old listing, or a general web search can easily blend the two together, which is exactly the kind of drift that leads to the wrong comps, the wrong school assumptions, and the wrong price expectations.
My practice on any pheasant-named listing in St. George is the same: pull the MLS subdivision field and the county plat record before I compare it to anything else. I would do the same for you before you make an offer.
How I confirm which plat a listing is actually in
- The MLS subdivision field on the listing itself, which should read the recorded plat name.
- Washington County's recorded subdivision layer, which carries the plat name, code, and filing date.
- The parcel record for the specific address, not the neighborhood name alone.
Source: Washington County GIS recorded-subdivision layer, subdivision codes PSP (Pheasant Springs) and PRE (Pheasant Run Estates).
What locals know
The details I would slow down and check.
Pheasant Springs rewards a buyer who confirms the plat before falling for a listing photo. These are the things I would walk a friend through first.
-
Do not confuse the two pheasant names. Pheasant Springs and Pheasant Run Estates are separate recorded plats. Comparing prices across the two will give you a false read.
-
This is an established plat, not new construction. Recorded in 1995, expect the character of a grown-in neighborhood: mature trees, varied lot condition, and homes worth walking through individually.
-
Sunset Boulevard is the spine. Almost every errand from this neighborhood routes through Sunset Boulevard or Dixie Drive rather than downtown St. George.
-
Confirm the school boundary directly. I can name the elementary school in the area, but I would confirm current attendance assignment with the district for any specific address before you count on it.

Buying in Pheasant Springs
Pheasant Springs is a recorded subdivision in the Dixie Downs area of northwest St. George, off 1210 West. It is a separate recorded plat from Pheasant Run Estates, which is a different St. George subdivision despite the similar name, so I always confirm the MLS subdivision field before comparing the two.
Detached single-family homes on an established, built-out plat recorded in 1995. The neighborhood sits inside the older Dixie Downs street grid rather than one of St. George's newer edge-of-town subdivisions, so expect a settled, grown-in feel rather than new construction.
Pheasant Springs is in the Washington County School District. Paradise Canyon Elementary, grades K-5, sits in the Dixie Downs area itself, and the district's published feeder pattern for this side of town runs to Dixie Middle, grades 8-9, and Dixie High, grades 10-12. I could not independently confirm the intermediate school, grades 6-7, for this specific plat, so confirm the current assignment for any home you are serious about directly with the district.
Dixie Downs Park, at 1027 South Dixie Drive, is the walkable neighborhood option, with a splash pad, playground, skate park, and a looped walking trail. For a longer walk or ride, the paved Santa Clara River Trail through Tonaquint Park is a short drive south.
I would rather point you to the live listings above than quote a number here. Pricing in an established, built-out St. George plat like this one depends heavily on lot size, updates, and the specific street, so ask me for a current comp set pulled straight from the MLS subdivision field.

Selling in Pheasant Springs
Confirm the recorded subdivision name before you price anything. Pheasant Springs and Pheasant Run Estates are two different St. George plats, and pulling comps from the wrong one will throw your number off. I start every listing here by pulling sales from the correct plat only.
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.
I start with closed sales inside the recorded Pheasant Springs plat specifically, not the wider Dixie Downs area, then adjust for lot size, updates, and condition against what is currently active and pending.
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.
