Snow Canyon Apartments

Snow Canyon Apartments

Snow Canyon is a small, 39-unit community in northwest St. George, near shopping, a movie theater, parks, and walking trails, and close to a bus route. It offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes and is managed by Community Housing Services (CHS Utah) as an affordable/general-rental community.

Homes include central air conditioning, self-cleaning ovens, and an outside storage closet, with on-site laundry, a playground, and a picnic area.

Getting your bearings

Bearings from the door: downtown St. George is about 2 miles away, Santa Clara is about 2 miles away and Utah Tech University is about 3 miles away. Pioneer Park is about 2 miles off if you are heading out for the day. Those are straight-line distances, so allow more by road — the valley is cut up by washes and ridges, and very little of it runs in a straight line.

The list, translated

A shared laundry room. Machines are shared rather than plumbed into each home. Worth asking two things on a tour: how many machines serve how many homes, and whether they take cards or coins. Neither shows up in a listing.

Refrigerated air conditioning. This matters more in this valley than it sounds. Plenty of older southern Utah rentals still cool with an evaporative — swamp — cooler, which works well in dry heat and much less well once the monsoon humidity arrives in late summer. If a unit's cooling matters to you, confirm which system it actually has before signing.

Extra storage. This matters more here than in most markets: a great deal of what people own in southern Utah is outdoor gear that does not want to live in a hot car.

Utilities, and who bills you

Which utility company serves you depends on which city you are in rather than on the community: several municipalities in Washington County run their own power and water utilities, while others are served by the regional provider. Ask the leasing office which are included, which are billed back to you, and whether the property uses a third-party billing service that adds an administrative charge — that last one surprises people.
