A small townhome community on the west side
In shortThe county recorded its plat (the map of the lots) in five phases between 1994 and 2003. County records show about 110 units built.
Springfield Townhomes is a small community on St. George's west side. It sits just east of Dixie Drive between West 100 North and Stonebridge Drive, roughly a mile south of West Sunset Boulevard. I used Washington County's own map records to confirm the name, the recording code and the boundary for this page.
The community went in over nearly a decade, in five recorded phases between 1994 and 2003. That matters for buyers: a unit from the first phase and a unit from the fifth were not necessarily built from the same set of plans. That is why I look at each listing on its own, not as if every unit were the same.
With about 110 units by county count, a few homes come up for sale each year, not every week. That cuts both ways: you may need patience if you are buying, and you face less direct competition if you are selling.
Highlights
What the county record actually shows
Four things come straight from the county and school district records, not from estimates: the main road beside it, its school boundary, its west-side spot and its five-phase history.
Dixie Drive on the doorstep
The plat sits directly against Dixie Drive, a four-lane main road. That puts groceries, the freeway and the rest of west St. George within a short drive, not a long one.
Arrowhead Elementary's boundary
I checked the plat's location against the Washington County School District's own boundary map. It is inside Arrowhead Elementary's attendance area (the area the school serves), less than a mile from the school itself.
West side, near the Santa Clara line
The plat is on St. George's west side, close enough to the Santa Clara city line that its zoned elementary is technically in Santa Clara. It is a St. George address with a west-side feel.
Five phases, nine years
County recording dates run from July 1994 through August 2003. A community built over that span is not one uniform kind of home, and I treat it that way when I compare units.
About the facts in the bar at the top of this page. Sources: Washington County GIS (the county's map records) for the subdivision plat, and the Washington County School District boundary map. Prices change, so ask me for current numbers. Citywide data lives on the St. George guide.

Homes & lots
Attached townhomes, built in stages
Springfield Townhomes is made up of attached homes: shared walls between units, as in a typical townhome development from this era. County plat records show about 110 units in total, recorded across five separate phases between 1994 and 2003.
I am not going to hand you a square-footage figure, a price per unit, or a builder name for this community. What I can tell you is that a build history stretching almost a decade means real differences from unit to unit in layout, finish and condition. Walk the actual unit rather than assuming every unit is alike.
Homes here rarely come up for sale, so there will often be no active listings at all. That is normal for a community of about 110 units, not a sign of a problem. Check the live listings above for what is on the market today.
A community recorded in five phases over nine years was never going to be one floor plan wearing 110 doors.
Parks & trails
A short drive to St. George's parks and Snow Canyon
Pioneer Park, ~2.5 miles
St. George's best-known red-rock park, with walking paths and the hillside sign overlooking downtown. It is east across town from Springfield, so plan on a drive, not a walk.
Tonaquint Park
A city park along the Santa Clara River south of Springfield, with ballfields, a nature center and paths by the river. It is the closer of St. George's larger developed parks to this plat.
Snow Canyon Parkway
West Sunset Boulevard, about a mile north of Springfield, runs straight to Snow Canyon Parkway, the road toward Snow Canyon State Park and Ivins.
West side neighborhood streets
Stonebridge Drive and West 100 North wind through the area around the plat. Both are quiet residential streets that lead back to Dixie Drive.

Schools & education
Schools, by the facts
Springfield Townhomes is served by the Washington County School District. I checked the plat's location against the district's own elementary boundary map, and it falls inside Arrowhead Elementary's area.
Arrowhead is one of several Washington County elementaries whose students do not all go on to the same middle and high schools. Some go on to Dixie Intermediate, Dixie Middle and Dixie High. Others go on to Lava Ridge Intermediate, Snow Canyon Middle and Snow Canyon High. Which group a home falls in depends on where it sits, and the boundary map alone does not tell me. For any home you are serious about, check the exact assignment with the district.
For outside school data, GreatSchools and Niche both publish numbers you can weigh yourself. I do not make quality judgments about schools on this site. That call is yours to make.
I cover the bigger education picture, including Utah Tech University, in the St. George guide.
Five phases, one community
Nine years to finish about 110 units
Most small townhome plats in St. George were mapped once and built in a year or two. Springfield was not. Washington County's recorded phase dates run from July 1994, through April 1995, August 1996, May 1999, and finally August 2003. That is nine years across five separate recordings for a community that ended up around 110 units.
I do not know the reason for the slow build from the public record alone, and I am not going to guess at a story. What matters today, for a buyer or a seller, is the result: not every unit here came from one set of plans in one year. Judge finish, layout and condition unit by unit, not from a neighbor's listing photos.

What locals know
Notes from the west side
No listing photo tells you this part. After more than 20 years living in Southern Utah, here is what I would tell a friend looking at Springfield.
This is west St. George, not central
An older description of this plat put it near Springs Drive, which is actually miles away on the opposite side of town. Springfield sits against Dixie Drive, close to the Santa Clara line, and that changes where you shop and how far you drive.
The elementary boundary crosses a city line
The zoned elementary for this plat is in Santa Clara, not St. George. School district boundaries do not always follow city lines, which is normal, but it surprises some buyers.
Attached means shared walls, plan for it
Whatever the unit's layout, it is an attached home. Ask about the age of the cooling system and how the shared wall is built before you assume it behaves like a detached house in July.
Small means quiet, but slow
With about 110 units built over nine years, homes do not come up for sale often. If you are buying, it may take time for the right unit to come up. If you are selling, you are rarely competing against a dozen other listings in the same plat.

The buyer side and the seller side
Buying in Springfield Townhomes
Springfield Townhomes is a recorded plat (the map of the lots) on the west side of St. George, just east of Dixie Drive and about a mile south of West Sunset Boulevard. It sits in the 84770 zip code, close to the St. George / Santa Clara line.
Attached townhomes built across five recorded phases between 1994 and 2003. County records list about 110 units. The phases were recorded over nearly a decade, so unit layouts are not identical from phase to phase. I compare each unit on its own, not by a single floor plan.
The subdivision is in Arrowhead Elementary's attendance area (the area the school serves), checked against the Washington County School District boundary map. Not all Arrowhead students go on to the same middle and high schools, and it depends on where the home sits. Some go to Dixie Intermediate, Dixie Middle and Dixie High. Others go to Lava Ridge Intermediate, Snow Canyon Middle and Snow Canyon High. Check the exact assignment for any address with the district directly.
I am not going to hand you a number I cannot verify. Few homes sell in a small community like this, and price depends heavily on square footage, updates, and which of the five phases a unit is in. Check the current MLS for the real picture, and I can pull recent sales of similar homes for you directly.

Selling in Springfield Townhomes
With so few sales a year in a community of about 110 units, an automated estimate is not reliable here. Start with the home valuation page and I will compare your home with recent sales in the immediate area, no obligation.
When you list with me, your home is featured on MovingUtah where it fits best. It shows first on the St. George listings and on this Springfield Townhomes page, where buyers are already looking. The get featured page explains how it works. If you are thinking about selling, I would be glad to talk it through with you.
It depends on what else is for sale here right now, not on a citywide trend. Springfield is small, and homes do not come up for sale often. Tell me your timeline. The site watches the MLS for you and emails you when one lists.
Yes, and I walk buyers and sellers through that sequencing regularly. The steps are in the buy and sell at once guide. I am licensed in both real estate and lending. On any one purchase I take one role. If I am your lender, I can tell you early if a home could be hard to get a loan on.
