Apartment Complexes in St. George, Utah

Every purpose-built apartment community we know of in St. George and Washington County is on this page — 44 of them, listed in full rather than split across pages. If you have been working through listings sites one complex at a time, this is the roster you have been assembling by hand.

Start with eligibility, not price

The useful first cut is not what a place costs. It is whether you can rent there at all.

A large share of the communities here are closed to most renters by rule rather than by price — some are restricted by age, some by household income, and some are built for students and contracted in a way that makes them a poor fit for anyone else. Sorting by rent across all of them produces a shortlist you are not eligible for, which is the standard frustration with searching this market on a national portal.

So the three groups below come first. Everything not in one of them is a conventional community, open to any qualified applicant, and those make up the bulk of the full list further down.

Student housing near Utah Tech

Rented by the bed rather than by the unit — you sign for your own room and the community places your roommates, so an advertised figure is per bed, not per home.

Age-restricted: 55+ and 62+

Every resident has to meet the age floor, which is 55 at two of these and 62 at the other two. Two are income-restricted as well.

Income-restricted and income-eligible

Eligibility is capped by household income rather than opened by it, so these fill from waiting lists. Programs differ — tax-credit, USDA Rural Development, Section 8 vouchers — and each community screens against its own.

The conventional communities

Everything not named above is conventional stock: rented by the unit, open to any applicant who qualifies, and spread across St. George itself plus Desert Color, Sienna Hills and the surrounding towns. It is the largest of the four groups by some distance, and it is what most people are actually looking for.

The full roster follows, and it is not filtered — every community on this page appears in it, including the ones grouped above.

Geography matters more here than the map suggests. Washington, Santa Clara, Ivins and Hurricane are separate towns rather than districts of St. George, and a community in one of them is a different commute, a different school boundary and a different city government from one three exits down I-15. The city is listed against every entry below for that reason.

Reading the list

Each entry carries what we have been able to establish about the community — its layouts, its amenity set, and where it actually sits. Two things are worth knowing about how that is recorded.

The amenity flags say what we have confirmed, not what we have audited. We record a pet-friendly policy at 22 of these communities and furnished units at 8, and in both cases a blank means we have not established it rather than that the community lacks it. Confirm either in writing before it matters to you — pet policies in particular vary by breed and weight from one community to the next, and a phone call is not a policy.

And availability is not something a page like this can hold honestly. What does not change month to month is which communities exist, where they are, who they are open to and what they are like, which is what this list is for.

Whether an apartment is the right search at all

Apartment communities are the one part of this market with a stable, listable inventory, which is exactly why they can be cataloged. Two neighboring markets cannot, and people routinely search the wrong one.

If you are at Utah Tech, the communities near campus run on a different contract entirely — you sign for a bed rather than a home, which changes both what a quoted figure means and what happens when a roommate leaves. student housing near Utah Tech covers how those contracts work before you sign one.

If you need more space than an apartment offers, houses and condos are the largest part of the rental market here and the hardest to see in one place. They also carry a permission problem apartments do not: a house inside a community association may sit under recorded covenants that cap or forbid renting outright. houses for rent in St. George sets out that rule and what else a house lease hands you. For the shape of the market as a whole — rooms, houses, seasonal stays and where each is actually advertised — start at rentals, and St. George real estate covers buying instead.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a landlord in Utah have to return a security deposit?

Utah gives a landlord 30 days from the end of the tenancy and the day you move out to return the deposit or the balance of it, together with an itemized list of anything deducted. Deductions have to be for actual damage or unpaid rent; normal wear and tear does not count. If the deadline passes with no refund and no itemized list, state law lets a tenant recover more than the amount withheld, so the itemized list is worth insisting on rather than chasing later. Utah sets no statutory cap on how large a deposit may be.

Is there rent control in St. George, Utah?

No. Utah has no rent control, and state law bars cities and towns from adopting any of their own, so St. George could not introduce it even if it wanted to. What that means in practice is that rent at renewal is a negotiation rather than a capped increase, and it is worth asking what renewal has looked like at a community before you sign a first lease there.

Is there student housing in St. George?

Yes. Utah Tech University sits just east of downtown St. George, and a cluster of communities around campus is built for students. The contract is what sets them apart: you sign for a bed space rather than for the apartment, so you carry your own portion and not your roommates', and the community decides who fills the other bedrooms. It also means an advertised figure is per bed rather than per home, which makes a straight comparison against a conventional apartment misleading until you have adjusted for it. They are grouped into their own tier on this page, and student housing near Utah Tech covers the contract terms worth settling first.

Is renting in St. George seasonal?

Some of it. St. George draws winter residents from Salt Lake City, the Mountain West and western Canada, which puts real demand on furnished and short-lease units from roughly October through April, and the student communities near Utah Tech turn over on the academic calendar instead. Conventional unfurnished apartments are much less seasonal than either. If you need a furnished place or a lease shorter than a year, start earlier than you would elsewhere and expect fewer options.

How many apartment complexes are there in St. George?

We list 44 purpose-built apartment communities across St. George and the surrounding Washington County towns, which is close to the whole of that market. The count is lower than people expect for a place this size, and it is worth knowing why: a large share of what is rented here is not in an apartment community at all but in houses and condos owned individually and handled by local property managers. That inventory is real and substantial, it simply cannot be listed the way a community can.

Which apartments in St. George are open to anyone?

The conventional communities — the ones not grouped above as student, age-restricted or income-restricted — accept any applicant who meets their screening. That is the largest group on this page. The other three are closed by rule rather than by availability: an age-restricted community enforces a floor of 55 or 62 on every resident, an income-restricted one caps rather than opens eligibility by household income and generally runs a waiting list, and student communities contract by the bed around an academic calendar. Checking which category a community falls into before you inquire saves the most time of anything on this page.
