A St. George community
Living in Riverside Heights.
A single-family subdivision in the Middleton area of St. George, platted in eight recorded phases between 1991 and 2013. Washington County's plat records call it RSH, and the streets show it: an older run of homes sits alongside later phases built more than two decades apart.

Life in Middleton
A subdivision built one phase at a time.
Riverside Heights sits in the Middleton area of St. George, centered near 2800 East on the north side of the neighborhood, a short drive north of the Red Cliffs Mall and Mall Drive corridor. Washington County's GIS subdivision records show it developed in eight separate phases, lettered A through H, with the first recorded in June 1991 and the last in November 2013, all inside St. George's municipal boundary. That is more than twenty years of building under one subdivision name.
What that means on the ground is straightforward: this is not a single-builder, single-year community. Streets platted in the early 1990s sit near streets platted two decades later, so the mix of home ages and styles varies block to block more than it would in a subdivision built out in a single push. Middleton itself is an established pocket of northeast St. George, close enough to Red Cliffs Mall and St. George Boulevard for daily errands, without sitting on the busiest tourist corridors downtown.
Neighborhood highlights
What actually sits near this pocket.
Four things define this stretch of Middleton: a mall-anchored shopping corridor within a mile, a named wash trail on the edge of the neighborhood, a school cone confirmed with the district rather than assumed, and a freeway on-ramp that reaches St. George Boulevard directly.
Red Cliffs Mall, about a mile away
The mall at 1770 E Red Cliffs Drive anchors the Mall Drive shopping corridor, with Lin's Fresh Market's east-side location on Mall Drive in the same pocket.
Middleton Wash Trail on the edge
A paved path runs from near Red Cliffs Mall along Mall Drive toward the Virgin River, connecting into the larger Virgin River Trail system.
Dixie Cone Site, confirmed with WCSD
This part of Middleton falls in the Washington County School District's Dixie Cone Site (Tonaquint Intermediate, Dixie Middle, Dixie High), per the district's official feeder-school chart.
I-15 Exit 8, St. George Boulevard
Exit 8 connects directly to St. George Boulevard and Red Cliffs Drive, a diverging diamond interchange rebuilt in 2013 with a Mall Drive underpass added in 2017.
Homes & lots
Single-family homes across eight phases.
Riverside Heights is a single-family detached subdivision on St. George's standard residential grid, not a mixed-product community. What sets it apart from a typical planned subdivision is the build timeline: Washington County's GIS plat records show eight separate phases, A through H, recorded between June 1991 and November 2013. A subdivision platted in eight stages over more than two decades naturally carries more variation in home age and design than one built out in a single builder's run.
I have not verified a current price range or square-footage figure specific to this subdivision against live MLS data, so I am not going to publish one here. Third-party aggregator sites circulate numbers for Riverside Heights, but I could not confirm them against the MLS this session, and a subdivision with a twenty-plus-year build spread does not reduce well to one average anyway. The honest move is to pull live comps by phase before you lean on any figure, and I am glad to do that with you.
Trails & outdoors
A wash trail that leads to the river.
The Middleton Wash Trail is the named outdoor amenity closest to this pocket of St. George, and it plugs directly into the city's larger river trail network.
Middleton Wash Trail
A paved path along Middleton Wash, running from near Red Cliffs Mall southeast along Mall Drive to the Virgin River, where it meets the Virgin River Trail.
Virgin River Trail, ~10 min
The paved multi-use path tracks the Virgin River corridor and passes Crosby Family Confluence Park. East Riverside Drive connects to its northern section, a short drive from Middleton.
Trail routing comes from published trail data for the Middleton Wash and Virgin River trails. More day-trip options are in the St. George guide.
Errands & drive times
The practical map, at a glance.
Riverside Heights sits close enough to the Red Cliffs Mall corridor that most weekly errands stay short. Times below are measured from the neighborhood's center near 2800 East in Middleton; confirm from your exact address.
| The errand | Where | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Groceries (closest) | Lin's Fresh Market, 2928 E Mall Dr | ~4 min |
| Shopping | Red Cliffs Mall, 1770 E Red Cliffs Dr | ~4 min |
| Healthcare | St. George Regional Hospital, 1380 E Medical Center Dr | ~7 min |
| Urgent care | River Road InstaCare, 577 S River Rd | ~9 min |
| Freeway on-ramp | I-15 Exit 8, St. George Blvd | ~6 min |
| Dinner downtown | Historic Downtown St. George | ~10 min |
Farther out, Sand Hollow State Park and the Hurricane/La Verkin corridor sit roughly 20-25 minutes east on SR-9. More day-trip options in the St. George guide.
Schools
Schools, by the facts.
Riverside Heights is inside the Washington County School District. The district organizes its schools into "cone sites," each running one elementary tier into one intermediate school (grades 6-7), one middle school (grades 8-9), and one high school (grades 10-12). This part of Middleton falls in the Dixie Cone Site, which runs Tonaquint Intermediate into Dixie Middle and Dixie High, per the district's official feeder-school chart, last updated February 2024.
Heritage Elementary (grades K-5) is the nearest elementary school in that same cone. I am naming the confirmed cone and the nearest elementary rather than guessing at a precise street-level boundary: Washington County School District draws elementary lines that can change block by block, and I was not able to confirm the exact elementary assignment for this specific pocket of Middleton against the district's interactive boundary tool this session. Confirm the assignment for any address you are serious about directly with the district before you rely on it.
Eight phases, one name
Twenty-two years, recorded phase by phase.
This is the fact that separates Riverside Heights from most single-name subdivisions in St. George: it was not platted in one filing. Washington County's GIS subdivision layer shows eight distinct phases under the plat code RSH, starting with Phase A in June 1991 and ending with Phase H in November 2013, a 22-year span. Most St. George subdivisions of comparable size closed out their platting within a few years of the first phase. This one did not.
For a buyer, that means the usual shorthand, "it's a 1990s neighborhood" or "it's a 2010s neighborhood," does not apply cleanly here. It genuinely depends on which phase, and by extension which street, a given home sits on. For a seller, it means the right comparable is a home from the same phase, not just the same subdivision name. I treat that distinction as a first step, not an afterthought, when I price or search here.
| Phase | Recorded |
|---|---|
| A | June 1991 |
| B | March 1993 |
| C | December 1994 |
| D | September 1997 |
| E | March 2002 |
| F | April 2003 |
| G | December 2005 |
| H | November 2013 |

What locals know
The details I would slow down and check.
Riverside Heights rewards a buyer who reads the phase, not just the name. These are the things I would walk a friend through before they get attached to any one address here.
-
Ask which phase before you fall for a listing. A 1991 Phase A home and a 2013 Phase H home carry the same subdivision name but were built more than two decades apart. Ask the phase, not just the address.
-
The mall corridor is close, and that cuts both ways. Red Cliffs Mall and Mall Drive are about a mile out, convenient for errands but worth weighing against a quieter, farther-out street if that matters to you.
-
Do not assume the elementary from the neighborhood name. "Riverside Heights" and "Riverside Elementary" sound related but are not the same thing; Riverside Elementary is actually in Washington City, several miles away. Confirm your street's elementary directly with the district.
-
Comp by phase, not by name. An average built from all eight phases together will mislead you in either direction. I pull comps from the matching phase before I trust any number.

Buying in Riverside Heights
Riverside Heights sits in the Middleton area of St. George, centered near 2800 East on the north side of the neighborhood, a short drive north of Red Cliffs Mall and Mall Drive. Washington County records the subdivision under the plat code RSH, recorded in eight phases, A through H, from 1991 through 2013, in St. George's municipal boundary.
Single-family detached homes on a standard St. George residential grid. Because the eight phases were platted over more than two decades, you will find an older run of homes from the early 1990s alongside later phases built into the 2010s, so build years vary street to street more than in a subdivision built in one push.
This part of Middleton falls in the Washington County School District's Dixie Cone Site, which runs Tonaquint Intermediate (grades 6-7) into Dixie Middle (grades 8-9) and Dixie High (grades 10-12), per the district's official feeder-school chart. Heritage Elementary (grades K-5) is the nearest elementary school in that same cone. Boundaries can be precise down to the street, so confirm the exact elementary assignment for any address directly with the district before you rely on it.
Yes. The Middleton Wash Trail is a paved path that runs from near Red Cliffs Mall along Mall Drive toward the Virgin River, connecting into the larger Virgin River Trail system, and it sits within a short drive of the subdivision.
I do not publish a number here because I have not verified one against current MLS data for this specific subdivision, and the age spread across the eight phases means a single average would mislead more than it would help. Check the live listings for current asking prices, or ask me and I will run real comparables for the phase you are looking at.
