Our Take
St. George offers solid schools, low flood risk, and plenty of outdoor space, but the walk score is zero and public transit is virtually nonexistent. The median home price is steep compared to local income, and there are signs of a speculative housing boom. It’s a decent choice if you’re okay with a car‑centric lifestyle and don’t mind higher cost of living.
