A St. George community
Living in Summerset Townhomes.
A small attached-home plat off 100 East, a few blocks south of the historic downtown core. Washington County recorded it in two phases, 1982 and 1983, which makes it one of the older townhome communities in this part of St. George.
I am Scott Buehler. I have worked buyers and sellers across St. George for over 20 years, and this page is the straight version of what this plat is, where it actually sits, and what I would check before you buy or sell here.

Life here
A compact plat close to the older grid.
Summerset Townhomes sits off 100 East, a handful of blocks south of St. George's historic downtown grid. Washington County's plat records show the community recorded in two phases, the first in June 1982 and the second in June 1983, which makes this one of the older attached-home plats in this part of the city. The recorded name on the plat and the assessor's document is "Summerset Th," one word, no second "m."
It is a small, tight footprint. You are not out on the edge of town here. St. George Boulevard and Bluff Street, the two main downtown arterials, are each under a mile away, and the I-15 St. George Boulevard interchange is about seven-tenths of a mile out. That puts most errands inside a short drive rather than a long one.
Because it is an attached-home product from the early 1980s, do not expect an open-concept layout or a three-car garage. What you get instead is a low-maintenance footprint close to the center of an older, established part of St. George, which is a specific tradeoff for a specific kind of buyer.
Plat highlights
What makes this plat its own place.
A few things are specific and verifiable about Summerset: the recorded plat date, the elementary school inside walking distance, the freeway interchange nearby, and the grocery store a few minutes off.
Recorded in 1982 and 1983
Washington County's GIS lists Phase 1 recorded June 1982 and Phase 2 recorded June 1983, which places this plat among the older attached-home communities on this side of downtown.
Legacy Elementary nearby
Legacy Elementary sits about four-tenths of a mile away, close enough that a short walk is realistic for some streets in the plat.
I-15 Exit 8, about 3 min
The St. George Boulevard interchange, a diverging diamond since 2014, sits roughly seven-tenths of a mile from the plat, a quick shot onto the freeway in either direction.
Smith's on Bluff Street, about 3 min
Smith's Food & Drug at 20 N Bluff Street is roughly half a mile out, the closest full grocery option to the plat.
One recorded name, two phases
The county files both phases under a single subdivision code, SST, so a comp search should pull both phases together rather than treating them as separate communities.
A small footprint
This is a genuinely small plat, not a large master-planned community. That means the active listing count on any given day can be low, and a single new listing can move the comps.
Homes & product
An attached product, early 1980s.
Summerset Townhomes is an attached-home community, physically: shared walls, private entries, and small footprints on compact lots. The plat recorded across two phases in 1982 and 1983, which means the building stock here is early 1980s. That puts it among the older attached products in this part of St. George, and floor plans from that era tend to be straightforward and efficient rather than open-concept.
I am not going to hand you a made-up price band or a per-square-foot number for this page. A plat this small, recorded more than four decades ago, can have its whole comp set shift with one new listing, and any static figure I published today would likely be stale by the time you read this. The honest answer is: pull the live MLS with me and I will walk you through what has actually closed here recently.
What I can tell you without guessing is the physical reality of the product. These are attached homes, not detached houses with their own free-standing walls on all four sides. If shared walls and a compact footprint are a dealbreaker for you, this plat is not the right fit regardless of price. If low-maintenance and proximity to the older downtown grid matter more to you than square footage, it is worth a serious look.
A 1980s attached plat this size does not behave like a big subdivision. One new listing can change the whole comp picture.
Trails & outdoors
Red rock is a short drive, not a walk.
Pioneer Park, St. George's signature red-rock park, is genuinely close by St. George standards, but it is about a mile from the plat, closer to a four-minute drive than a five-minute walk. I would rather tell you the real distance than round it down.
Pioneer Park, ~4 min
The 52-acre red sandstone park on the north edge of downtown has hiking trails, rock climbing routes, and a well-known sunset overlook. It is about a mile from the plat, an easy short drive rather than a walk.
Downtown Main Street corridor
The historic Main Street and Ancestor Square dining and shopping corridor sits along the same downtown grid, generally a five-minute drive or less from the plat.
Farther out, Snow Canyon State Park and Sand Hollow Reservoir are each a drive of roughly 20 to 25 minutes, and Zion National Park's south entrance is about 45 minutes east. The full day-trip map lives in the St. George guide.
Errands & drive times
Errands, measured in minutes.
Times are measured from 100 East near the plat, the closest public street to the recorded parcel. Most daily errands sit inside a five-minute drive because the plat is close to the older downtown grid.
| The errand | Where it happens | From Summerset |
|---|---|---|
| Full grocery run | Smith's Food & Drug, 20 N Bluff St | ~3 min |
| Freeway on-ramp | I-15 Exit 8, St. George Blvd interchange | ~3 min |
| Dinner downtown | Historic Main Street / Ancestor Square | ~4 min |
| Elementary school | Legacy Elementary, 280 E 100 S | ~2 min, walkable for some streets |
| Red rock park | Pioneer Park | ~4 min |
| Healthcare | St. George Regional Hospital, Medical Center Dr | ~6 min |
| Campus | Utah Tech University | ~7 min |
Further out, Snow Canyon State Park is about 20 minutes north and Sand Hollow Reservoir is about 25 minutes east. The full day-trip map lives in the St. George guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Summerset Townhomes falls inside the Legacy Elementary attendance boundary (grades K-5), based on the district's published boundary map. Legacy is not one of the district's split-feeder schools, so its students continue on a single path: Tonaquint 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, so confirm the current assignment for any home you are serious about directly with Washington County School District rather than relying on this page alone. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself. Utah Tech University is about seven minutes away.
I cover the bigger education picture, including Utah Tech, in the St. George guide.
A two-phase plat
Why the phase actually matters.
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 for search purposes, but the phase line is a real, physical distinction on the ground.
For a plat this old, the phase can matter for practical reasons that have nothing to do with marketing: original construction details, past maintenance history, and how a given row of units was built out can vary slightly between a 1982 phase and a 1983 phase even inside the same small community. It is a small detail, but it is the kind of thing worth asking about on any specific unit rather than assuming both phases are identical.
I am not aware of any public flood, geologic, or hazard designation specific to this plat, and I am not going to invent one. If you want that confirmed for a specific address, the right move is Washington County's parcel viewer and, where relevant, FEMA's Map Service Center, not a guess on a web page.
What locals know
The details worth checking first.
After years of showing homes in central St. George, here is what I would tell a friend before they get attached to a specific unit here.
-
The distance to Pioneer Park gets rounded down a lot. It is about a mile, a short drive. If a listing implies you can walk there in five minutes, measure it yourself before you believe it.
-
Ask which phase a unit is in. Phase 1 recorded in 1982, Phase 2 in 1983. It is a small gap, but on a plat this age it is worth asking about for any specific unit.
-
A small plat means a thin comp set. With this few units, one new listing or one closed sale can move the market picture. I pull live comps rather than lean on any published average.
-
Confirm the school boundary for the specific address. Legacy Elementary serves the plat today, but a district boundary can shift. Verify it for the unit you are actually considering.

Buying in Summerset Townhomes
Summerset Townhomes is a small attached-home plat off 100 East, a few blocks south of the historic downtown core. It recorded in two phases, 1982 and 1983, and sits about a mile from Pioneer Park and roughly seven-tenths of a mile from the I-15 St. George Boulevard interchange.
Attached townhomes from the early 1980s. Washington County's plat records list the community as Summerset Th, recorded as Phase 1 in 1982 and Phase 2 in 1983. The product is attached and low-maintenance by design, the kind of place where exterior upkeep is not part of your Saturday.
The historic downtown corridor along St. George Boulevard and Main Street is close, generally a five-minute drive or less. Pioneer Park is about a mile away, closer to a four-minute drive than a walk. I would rather tell you the real distance than round it down to sound better.
I am not going to publish a number here, because a 1980s plat this small can have its whole comp set change with one new listing. Pull the live MLS with me and I will show you what has actually closed recently, not a stale average.

Selling in Summerset Townhomes
Attached values in a small downtown-adjacent plat move differently than detached homes in the newer subdivisions. Start with the home valuation page and I will run a real comparison against recent Summerset sales, no obligation.
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. Townhome inventory in a community this small tends to be thin, and a well-kept unit draws attention when few others are on the market. Tell me your timeline and I will give you a straight read, not a pitch.
Yes, and the timing works the same way it does for any property. 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.
