Southern Utah golf community with outdoor recreation

Six miles from downtown St. George, the Bloomington Hills golf course community offers residential comforts near urban amenities. The neighborhood is split into two parts, with Bloomington Hills to the south and Bloomington Hills North just above. Both areas have their own parks and are connected by the St. George Golf Club and Bloomington Hills Drive. This neighborhood is near hiking and biking trails and plenty of ways to enjoy nature. Bloomington Hills attracts a diverse mix of retirees, families and professionals living next to each other. “Bloomington Hills is a peaceful area where people take good care of their properties. It has a great mix of housing styles and a stable market. The community is in a great location, and the golf course is lovely. There are lots of decks on the golf course, and the homes have views of the greens and the surrounding landscape,” says Vicky Wiley, a real estate agent with Realty Absolute and 17 years of experience.

Fairways, flowers and neighborhood parks

St. George Golf Club is a 7,200-yard 18-hole municipal course in the center of Bloomington Hills. Winding through the Ft. Pearce Wash, the course has traditional greens and has been part of the St. George community for over 30 years. Bloomington Hills Park is known locally as ‘Circle Park’ thanks to its round shape. It’s in the neighborhood’s southern portion and has a playground, picnic shelter and open spaces. Bloomington Hills Park North, on the other hand, is often called ‘Long Park’ due to its half-mile length. It covers 10 acres and has a walking trail that splits into two loops. It’s also a hub for several trails running along the Virgin River. White Dome Nature Preserve lies four miles south of the neighborhood. The 800-acre wilderness reserve is open year-round and is home to the dwarf bear poppy, an endangered plant only found in Washington County. Five miles of hiking trails snake through the desert and are designed to show off the unique flowers in its natural environment. There's also the Bloomington Hills Duck Pond, a popular wildlife-watching spot.

An established community with beautiful views and curving streets

The Bloomington Hills development began in the 1980s, and homes are still being built today. This gives the area a unique blend of housing styles, including traditional and updated ranch-style dwellings and contemporary designs. The houses were built in the hills for spectacular views of the course and Southern Utah’s red sandstone hills, towering mountains and desert landscapes. Manicured lawns and mature landscaping line the gently curving streets and cul-de-sacs. There aren’t many houses for sale at one time in the community, so buying here can take some planning. Homes sell for a median price of $540,000 after 43 days on the market. Ranch-style dwellings sell from $475,000 to $650,000, while contemporary designs range from $775,000 to $1 million.

Sweet treats, specialty grocers and shopping centers

The community doesn’t have retail stores or eateries, but plenty are nearby. Just to the east of Bloomington Hills South, Royal Thai Cuisine Express makes Southeast Asian dishes in an exhibition kitchen so guests can watch the chefs. Across the parking lot, Snelgrove Ice Cream makes delicious confections from nearly century-old family recipes. Just above the neighborhood, the Asian Market Company has been serving Southern Utah for over a decade. The store carries specialty ingredients from China, Vietnam, India and a half-dozen other countries. Harmons Neighborhood Grocer is 3.5 miles north of Bloomington Hills. The regional chain provides locals with fresh produce, pantry items and household goods. Just over five miles away, the Shoppes at Zion and Red Cliffs Mall offer a variety of retailers, restaurants and entertainment options.

Short commutes on nearby freeways

The neighborhood has a network of gently winding streets in each section and is connected by Bloomington Hills Drive. River Road borders one edge of the area, and Interstate 15 is easily accessible using East Brigham Road. This is a car-dependent area where nearly 70% of commuters travel less than 15 minutes one way daily to work in St. George or Washington. The neighborhood has no public transportation, and the only bike lanes are around Bloomington Hills North Park. Walking can be problematic in the subdivisions due to sporadic sidewalks. The community is 3.6 miles from St. George Regional Hospital-River Road and seven miles from the St. George Regional Airport.

Heat and Wildfire risks

Bloomington Hills is at risk of wildfires and extreme heat. The two can occur together, with severe temperatures sometimes igniting blazes, but they can also happen separately. To protect against wildfires, the city ensures buildings are up to current construction standards, flammable materials are kept away from houses and water reserves are kept above a minimum level. To escape extreme heat, residents are encouraged to carry water for hydration and to seek shade or shelter during the hottest parts of the day.
