Homes in Sun Valley Estates

Sun Valley Estates sits inside Little Valley, the area of numbered streets on St. George's southeast side, ZIP 84790. Its streets run off South 3000 East and East 3580 South, part of the same grid that carries most Little Valley addresses. This is a settled corner of town, not an active construction zone. The county's own subdivision records confirm the plat name and boundary.

What sets this plat apart is how it got built. Washington County's records show Sun Valley Estates recorded in 13 separate phases between May 2011 and April 2014. Each phase has its own document number and boundary. By St. George standards, that is a long build in small steps. The subdivision does not have one build date, the way a single-phase plat would.

St. George Regional Airport sits on the mesa just southeast, and the Little Valley Pickleball Complex is close by. Both are facts you can check, and both help show where this place sits.

Sun Valley Estates is single-family detached housing (each home stands alone on its own lot) on the Little Valley grid. The county's plat records show Phase 1 recorded May 6, 2011, and the build went on in stages through Phase 13, recorded April 23, 2014. That is roughly three years of recording in small steps, longer and with more steps than a typical single-phase St. George subdivision.

This is an established neighborhood, not a community still selling new homes. Few homes are listed at once, so for anything more specific I would pull recent sales.

The plat was recorded in 13 stages, so do not assume every street dates to the same year. A Phase 1 or Phase 2 street has had about three years longer to settle in than a Phase 12 or Phase 13 street. That difference in age is real and you can check it, so ask about it on any address you are eyeing.

The Washington County School District serves Sun Valley Estates. Little Valley Elementary, at 2330 East Horseman Park Drive, is the school for this location. That comes from the district's own attendance-boundary map.

Past elementary school, I found sources that disagree for this location, and I would rather tell you than guess. Some point to Desert Hills Intermediate, Desert Hills Middle, and Desert Hills High. Crimson Cliffs Middle School's own website lists Little Valley among the schools it serves, which points to Washington Fields Intermediate and Crimson Cliffs High instead. Little Valley appears to be a place where the middle and high school can depend on the specific street, not just the elementary boundary. Before you rely on it, check the current assignment for any address you are serious about by asking the district directly.

Most St. George subdivisions I work in record in one, two, or three phases. Sun Valley Estates recorded in 13, and each phase has its own document number filed with Washington County. Phase 1 was recorded on May 6, 2011, and Phase 13 on April 23, 2014. A later amendment (a change to the recorded map) covering two lots in Phase 13 was recorded in 2021. For a subdivision this size, that is a long build in small steps. It is the one fact I could verify that belongs to Sun Valley Estates and not to Little Valley in general.

The subdivision is not all one age. A Phase 1 street has had about a three-year head start on landscaping, tree growth, and resale history. A Phase 12 or 13 street has not. If you are comparing two homes here, or pricing one to sell, pull the phase and recording date first. Do not assume the whole subdivision behaves the same way.
