Living in Crimson Fields

Crimson Fields runs along Crimson Fields Drive in Washington Fields, the broad newer part of Washington south of the Virgin River that locals simply call The Fields. It sits among other recent additions like Freedom Village and Sugar Plum, a short hop off Washington Fields Road and close to the Crimson Cliffs schools campus.

What sets it apart from the neighborhoods around it is the homes themselves. Almost every home in Crimson Fields was built in 2020 or later. They run larger than the typical Fields home, with a median of roughly 3,300 to 3,400 finished square feet on fifth-acre lots. The streets look newer and the homes look bigger, which is the first thing I point out when someone compares it to the rest of The Fields.

Daily life here is Washington Fields living: flat lots with the garage up front. The desert recreation area is a short drive east, and St. George's shops and services are a short drive west. The freeway at the Washington Parkway interchange is close enough to keep the commute short without sitting on top of the houses.

Crimson Fields is small and recent, not a large phase of repeated plans. The recorded homes were built in 2020 or later, with an average build year right around 2021. New Trend Construction is one of the custom builders at work in this part of The Fields, and its name is on homes here. When you compare sales, how new a home is matters more than any other single fact.

The homes run larger than the Fields norm. Finished living area centers around 3,300 to 3,400 square feet. Floor plans range from three bedrooms up past five, and lots sit near a fifth of an acre. The neighborhood is small and the homes are custom, so two houses on the same street can finish and price differently. That is why I look at each home on its own, not at one price-per-square-foot number for everything.

On price, this is a higher range than the broader Washington Fields market of repeated-plan homes. Recent Crimson Fields sales on the Washington County MLS have generally landed from the upper $700,000s to past $1 million. The newest and largest homes sit at the top. Use that as a starting point, not a fixed number, and check it against the live listings. With so few sales, the right two or three similar homes matter more than any average.

Crimson Fields is in the Washington County School District, generally in the Crimson Cliffs group of schools. The area is served by Majestic Fields Elementary (grades K-5). Next come Washington Fields Intermediate (grades 6-7) and Crimson Cliffs Middle (grades 8-9). Then comes Crimson Cliffs High (grades 10-12), on the campus a few minutes south on Crimson Cliffs Way.

In November 2024 the district approved a boundary change for part of Washington Fields. Some addresses north of Washington Dam Road and east of Washington Fields Road moved into the Pine View group of schools. Check the current assignment for any specific address directly with the district, not from a map. For outside school data, GreatSchools and Niche both publish numbers you can weigh yourself. Utah Tech University is about fifteen minutes away in St. George.

Most of Washington Fields filled in as large phases, builder by builder, plan by plan. Crimson Fields is the exception: a small, newer neighborhood of custom homes that went up in 2020 and after. The homes are larger than the surrounding norm and were built one at a time, not from a single repeated floor plan. That is the one thing true here that is not true of the neighborhoods around it.

The practical effect shows up in pricing. The homes are custom and few sell, so a single sale carries more weight here than it would in a 200-lot phase. A one-size price-per-square-foot figure pulled from the broader Fields will look low against what these homes actually sell for. I keep the comparison inside the newer custom homes on purpose.
