Living in Sunrise View Townhomes

Sunrise View Townhomes is a townhome subdivision in Bloomington Hills, on St. George's south side. It sits on 1400 East next to St. George Golf Club, not far from River Road. Washington County plat records (the recorded maps of the lots) show two phases: Phase 1 recorded in February 1992 and Phase 2 in June 1993. That makes it one of the older townhome plats in this part of town. Every home is already built, and it is not an active construction site.

Moving from a detached house to a townhome is straightforward: shared walls, a smaller home, and less exterior to maintain. County GIS (the county's map records) places the plat inside the Bloomington Hills neighborhood. River Road's shopping and the Bloomington Hills North Park trail system are within reach.

Unit counts, floor plans, and square footage vary, so check each listing. The rest of this page comes from county records and the district's own maps.

A townhome has shared walls, a compact size, and less exterior maintenance than a detached house on its own lot. County plat records show two recorded phases, filed in 1992 and 1993, so the homes here are over three decades old, not new construction.

Prices and sizes vary by unit, so ask me for recent sales. Every home in this small subdivision is already built. What you can buy here depends heavily on which units happen to be listed at the time, not on a steady stream of new homes.

When you look at any townhome from this era, ask which unit it is. An end unit has one less shared wall than an interior unit, which can matter for both noise and natural light. I would check that, along with the unit's update history, before comparing prices across the subdivision.

Sunrise View Townhomes is served by the Washington County School District. I checked the subdivision's location against the district's published elementary attendance boundaries (the area each school serves). It falls inside the Bloomington Hills Elementary boundary, grades K-5. That is a separate school from the nearby Bloomington Elementary. The district publishes a chart of where students go next, and it lists Desert Hills Intermediate (grades 6-7), Desert Hills Middle (grades 8-9), and Desert Hills High (grades 10-12) for this side of the boundary.

Attendance boundaries can and do change. Check the current assignment for your exact address with the district before you rely on it. For outside school data, GreatSchools and Niche both publish numbers you can weigh yourself.

The county's own plat index shows Sunrise View Townhomes recorded in two separate phases, sixteen months apart. I could not say that about the townhome subdivision next door. Phase 1 was filed on February 6, 1992, under document number 402733. Phase 2 followed on June 30, 1993, under document number 441454. Both carry the subdivision code SUVT, and both sit inside the St. George city limits.

A two-phase filing like this usually means a builder platted and sold a first section, then came back and platted the next one once the first had sold. It is a small detail, but it explains two things. It is why some units under this name sit on a slightly different block than others. It is also why a title report may list two plat documents for what buyers see as one subdivision.

I would rather give you a detail anyone can check in the county records than a made-up story about who built it or why. If you want the plat maps themselves, Washington County's GIS office keeps both on file under document numbers 402733 and 441454.
