A rural village where year-round recreationists and vacationers live outside of St. George
Founded in 1902 as a rest stop, Brookside is a small rural village with about 200 residents. The community has the Santa Clara River running through it and views of the Pine Valley Mountains, making it a nature retreat hidden away from the city life of St. George. “Mainly, it’s super remote and calm. If I lived there, I’d be relaxing on my porch,” says Realtor Sariah Meredith, who works with ERA Brokers Consolidated and has four years of experience in the area. Many of the area’s houses have wide porches or decks, from which residents can see the mountains rising toward the sky, the river rushing past or goldfinches flitting between Gambel oak trees. For more of southern Utah’s outdoor splendor, there are many parks and recreation areas nearby.
Custom-built homes, ranch-style houses and land in Brookside
As a small village, Brookside is composed of a few winding roads of single-family homes. Some of the houses are used as second homes or vacation homes, but many residents are full time and enjoy year-round access to the outdoors from their backyards. The western side has homes with open fields, barns and clear views of the mountains. The eastern side of the community offers homes on the Santa Clara River and woodsy lots for extra privacy. The architecture includes custom-built homes, which range from $750,000 to $1 million, and ranch-style homes, which start from $600,000 and go up to $700,000. There's also plenty of land for buyers interested in building their own homes, with lots ranging from $75,000 to $250,000. Usually, those interested in Brookside may have to wait for available houses. “I'd say it’s a smaller market because there’s not a lot that goes up for sale in that area usually,” Meredith says. The area's quietude is reflected in its CAP Index Crime Score: a 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4 out of 10.
