Living in Summerset Townhomes

Summerset Townhomes sits off 100 East, a handful of blocks south of St. George's historic downtown streets. A plat is the recorded map of a subdivision, and Washington County's plat records show two phases here: the first recorded in June 1982 and the second in June 1983. That makes this one of the older attached-home plats in this part of the city. The name recorded on the plat and the assessor's document is "Summerset Th," one word, no second "m."

It is a small, tight plat, and you are not out on the edge of town. St. George Boulevard and Bluff Street, the two main downtown roads, are each under a mile away, and the I-15 St. George Boulevard interchange is about seven-tenths of a mile out. Most errands are a short drive rather than a long one.

These are attached homes from the early 1980s, so don't expect an open floor plan or a three-car garage. What you get is a low-maintenance home close to the center of an older, established part of St. George. That trade suits some buyers and not others.

Summerset Townhomes is an attached-home community, which means shared walls, private entries, and small homes on compact lots. The plat was recorded in two phases, in 1982 and 1983, so the homes date to the early 1980s and are among the older attached homes in this part of St. George. Floor plans from that era tend to be straightforward and efficient rather than open.

I'm not going to hand you a made-up price range or a per-square-foot number for this page. The plat is small and was recorded more than four decades ago, so one new listing can change the whole picture of recent sales. Any fixed figure I published today would likely be out of date by the time you read it. The honest answer is to pull the live MLS with me, and I will walk you through what has closed here recently.

What I can tell you without guessing is what the homes are like. They are attached homes, not detached houses with their own walls on all four sides. If shared walls and a compact home are a dealbreaker for you, this plat is not the right fit at any price. If low upkeep and being close to the old downtown streets matter more to you than square footage, it is worth a serious look.

Summerset Townhomes is inside the Legacy Elementary attendance boundary (grades K-5), meaning the area the school serves, according to the district's published boundary map. Legacy is not one of the district's split schools, where students from one school go on to different schools later. Its students all follow one path: Dixie Intermediate (grades 6-7), then Dixie Middle School (grades 8-9), then Dixie High School (grades 10-12).

Boundaries can shift as the district grows. If you are serious about a home, check its current school assignment with Washington County School District rather than relying on this page alone. For outside school data, GreatSchools and Niche both publish numbers you can weigh yourself. Utah Tech University is about seven minutes away.

Most one-line descriptions of Summerset treat it as a single block. County records show two separate recorded phases, one year apart: Phase 1 in June 1982 and Phase 2 in June 1983. Both carry the same subdivision code with the county, SST, so they read as one community when you search. But the line between the phases is real, and you can see it on the ground.

For a plat this old, the phase can matter for practical reasons, and none of them is about marketing. Original construction details can differ, and so can past upkeep. How a given row of units was built can also vary slightly between the two phases, even inside the same small community. It is a small detail, but it is worth asking about on any specific unit rather than assuming both phases are identical.

I am not aware of any public flood, geologic (ground and rock), or other hazard designation for this plat, and I am not going to invent one. To check a specific address, use Washington County's parcel viewer, and where it applies, FEMA's Map Service Center too. Do not go by a guess on a web page.
