A St. George community
Living in Skyhawk Townhomes.
A recorded townhome plat off River Road on St. George's central east side, tucked in behind SkyWest Airlines headquarters. Attached homes on compact lots, a for-sale market that shows up on the MLS alongside a real run of long-term rentals, and a location that puts River Road, Harmons, and St. George Regional Hospital a few honest minutes away.

Current listings
Homes for sale in Skyhawk Townhomes.
No active listings today. This is a compact, single-plat community off River Road, and with a real mix of owner-occupied units and long-term rentals filling its streets, resale activity can go quiet for stretches. Whenever a Skyhawk unit reaches the MLS, owner-occupied or investor-owned, it lands on this page. Prefer to hunt on your own? Open the map search or start from the homepage.
Buying here
Be first in line when one lists.
Skyhawk sits behind SkyWest's River Road headquarters with a genuine rental mix, so reading its comps means separating owner-occupied sales from investor turns, homework I fold into my daily Washington County MLS review. Tell me a unit here is your goal and the next filing shows up for you pre-analyzed.

Life here
Attached homes off River Road.
Skyhawk Townhomes is a recorded plat on St. George's central east side, county subdivision code SKYT, filed with Washington County in August 2004. The streets in the immediate area include East 400 South and South River Road, and the community sits close enough to SkyWest Airlines' headquarters on South River Road that renters and buyers alike describe it as "behind SkyWest."
This is a central location, not an edge-of-town one. St. George's River Road corridor runs commercial and civic uses on one side and older residential neighborhoods on the other, and Skyhawk sits in that mix: an attached-home community close to the Virgin River corridor, Harmons on 700 South, and the hospital campus off Medical Center Drive.
The other thing worth knowing before you tour: this plat carries a genuinely higher share of long-term rental units than a typical owner-occupied St. George subdivision. Multiple units here are advertised as rentals at any given time, alongside a for-sale market that shows up on the MLS. That mix shapes both the street feel and the comp set, and I would rather tell you that on page one than have you find out at the inspection.
Highlights
What actually sits close by.
Four named, verifiable facts about this specific location, not general St. George marketing copy.
SkyWest Airlines HQ next door
SkyWest's corporate headquarters sits at 444 South River Road, directly adjacent to the plat. It is the landmark locals use to give directions here, and it is a genuine, checkable neighbor, not a marketing line.
River Road corridor location
The plat sits off South River Road, a central St. George arterial that connects straight to I-15 Exit 3, downtown, and the hospital campus without needing a second connector road.
A recorded plat, not a marketing name
Washington County's subdivision records list SKYHAWK TH (code SKYT) as legally recorded August 8, 2004. On the MLS, confirm the subdivision field matches, since that is the name your lender and appraiser will see too.
The Virgin River Trail nearby
The paved Virgin River Trail crosses River Road on its way between Confluence Park and the neighborhoods east of the river, putting a genuine multi-use path within a short drive of the plat.
Homes & product mix
Attached homes, a real rental share.
Skyhawk Townhomes is an attached-home product: shared walls, a compact footprint, and typically an attached one-car garage per unit, the standard townhome layout for this era of St. George construction. I am not going to hand you an invented median price or square-foot figure for this plat. What I can tell you honestly is that it registers as active on the MLS, and that the smart move is to pull the current listings and recent sold comps before you form an opinion on value.
The one number I will not soften: this community carries a genuinely higher share of long-term rental units than most St. George townhome plats. That shows up in listing data across rental platforms as well as the MLS. It is not a defect, but it is a fact that changes how you should read the comp set. An investor-owned unit that traded as a rental purchase and an owner-occupied resale are not always apples to apples, and I separate the two before I quote you a number.
A townhome plat with real rental depth needs its comps read differently than a fully owner-occupied street, and I would rather tell you that than let the average lie to you.
Trails & outdoors
The river trail is the draw.
This is a central, paved-corridor location rather than a trailhead-at-the-door setting, and I would rather say that plainly than stretch it. The genuine outdoor amenity nearby is the city's river trail system.
Virgin River Trail at River Road
The paved Virgin River Trail crosses River Road on its route between Confluence Park and the neighborhoods to the north, giving a walkable or short-drive connection to a genuine multi-use path.
Crosby Family Confluence Park, ~10 min
The park sits at the meeting point of the Santa Clara and Virgin Rivers and anchors the south end of the Virgin River Trail system, roughly two miles south of the River Road trail crossing.
Trail routing comes from the City of St. George's published trail descriptions. The wider outdoor picture, Snow Canyon and Zion included, is in the St. George guide.
Errands & drive times
A central location, measured in minutes.
Being on River Road in central St. George means most of what you need daily sits a few minutes out in either direction. Times below are estimated from the River Road corridor near the plat; confirm from your specific unit before leaning on them.
| The errand | Where it happens | From River Road |
|---|---|---|
| Full grocery run | Harmons, 1189 E 700 South | ~5 min |
| Healthcare | St. George Regional Hospital, Medical Center Dr | ~7 min |
| Freeway on-ramp | Interstate 15 at Exit 3, River Road | ~3 min |
| Higher education | Utah Tech University (formerly Dixie State) | ~6 min |
| Dinner downtown | Historic St. George Main Street | ~7 min |
| River trail access | Virgin River Trail at River Road | ~3 min |
| Employer landmark | SkyWest Airlines HQ, 444 S River Rd | ~1 min |

Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Skyhawk Townhomes falls in the Washington County School District's Dixie Cone Site. The district's published feeder chart, updated February 2024, routes this part of central St. George through Legacy Elementary (grades PK-5), then Tonaquint Intermediate (grades 6-7), Dixie Middle (grades 8-9), and Dixie High (grades 10-12).
School attendance boundaries are drawn by address, not by subdivision name, and WCSD periodically adjusts them. Confirm the current assignment for any specific address directly with the district before you rely on it. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself.

The rental mix, honestly
Why this plat needs its own read.
Here is the thing that separates Skyhawk Townhomes from a lot of its neighbors: at any given time, you will find multiple units here advertised as long-term rentals across the major rental listing sites, alongside a for-sale market that is live and active on the MLS. That is a genuinely higher rental share than most St. George townhome subdivisions carry, and it is worth understanding before you assume this plat behaves like a fully owner-occupied street.
For a buyer, that means two things. First, check the current occupancy split before you get attached to a specific unit, since a higher renter population changes day-to-day street dynamics compared to an all-owner community. Second, ask whether the unit you are looking at was purchased as an investment property, since investor-owned units sometimes carry different finish levels or maintenance history than an owner-occupied resale.
For a seller, it means your comp set needs a filter. Pulling every sale inside the plat without separating investor purchases from owner-occupied resales can give you a distorted number in either direction. I run that split before I ever price a home here.
What I check before I quote you a number here
- The current owner-occupied versus rental split, pulled fresh from the MLS rather than assumed.
- Whether recent sold comps were investor purchases or owner-occupied resales, since the two do not always trade the same.
- The recorded subdivision field on the listing, to confirm it matches the plat and is not being confused with a similarly named community.
This is general guidance based on publicly listed rental and sale activity, not a guarantee of any unit's current status. Confirm occupancy and comp details for any specific unit against the live MLS.
What locals know
Four things I would tell a friend.
These are the specifics I would walk someone through before they got attached to a unit in this plat.
-
"Behind SkyWest" is the real landmark. Locals and rental listings both describe this plat by its neighbor, SkyWest Airlines' headquarters on South River Road. If you are giving directions, that lands faster than the street name.
-
Confirm the plat name on paper. Washington County's subdivision records show the legal name as SKYHAWK TH, recorded in 2004. Match that against the MLS subdivision field before you assume you are looking at the right community.
-
River Road puts you central, not edge of town. I-15 Exit 3 sits about three minutes out. That is a genuine convenience advantage over some of St. George's newer, farther-flung townhome developments.
-
Ask about occupancy before you write an offer. With a real rental share in the mix, the unit next door being a long-term rental instead of an owner-occupant is common enough here that it is worth a direct question, not an assumption.

The buyer side and the seller side.
Buying in Skyhawk Townhomes
Skyhawk Townhomes is a recorded townhome plat (county subdivision code SKYT, recorded August 2004) off River Road on St. George's central east side, near SkyWest Airlines headquarters. Streets in the immediate area include East 400 South and South River Road.
Attached townhome units are the product here, built around shared walls and a compact footprint rather than a standalone lot. The community also carries a higher share of rental units than many nearby subdivisions, which is worth knowing before you compare it to a fully owner-occupied street.
The Washington County School District's published feeder chart puts this part of central St. George on the Dixie Cone Site: Legacy Elementary (PK-5), Tonaquint Intermediate (grades 6-7), Dixie Middle (grades 8-9), and Dixie High (grades 10-12). Confirm the exact assignment for any specific address directly with WCSD before you rely on it.
I am not going to hand you a made-up median. Pricing depends on what is active on the MLS right now, and the rental-versus-owner-occupied mix can affect the comp picture. I am happy to pull the most recent sales inside this specific plat and give you a straight read on where the market sits today.
It carries a higher percentage of rental units than the typical St. George townhome community, and you will find several units advertised as long-term rentals at any given time. That is not a negative, it is a fact worth factoring into your comp set. The MLS will tell you which units are owner-occupied as of today.

Selling in Skyhawk Townhomes
Start with the home valuation page and I will pull the most recent sales inside the recorded Skyhawk Townhomes plat. Because of the rental mix, a clean comp set that separates owner-occupied sales from investor-owned units matters more here than an automated estimate.
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.
It depends on what else is listed in the plat right now and how the rental-versus-owner-occupied split is playing out in the comp set. Tell me your timeline and I will give you a straight read, no pitch.
Yes. 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.
