SperlingViews - Cedar_City, Utah

I have lived in Cedar since I was 18 (came here for college) and I have loved it the entire time. My first impression moving here is that everyone I met was so friendly. I stayed here after I graduated, and am sad to think about leaving. My husband moved here from out of state, he's originally from a much larger city, and although he originally thought he would be bored all the time without nearby concerts, shows, etc - he soon fell in love with it too. It's very pretty and safe here. Cost of living seems pretty low, apartments are much less expensive here than anywhere else I've looked at. The only downside is that it's difficult to find jobs, there aren't a lot of openings here. St. George is about 45 minutes away and there are more stores, business and job opportunities there although the drive might be a pain, especially during the winter.[read more...]

Nice cultural area with Southern Utah University's theatrical presences and the surrounding National Parks, Zions, Kolob, Cedar Breaks, Bryce and Grand Canyon[read more...]

This town is wonderful in all aspects unless you are single. I do have a son but its so hard to just have a fun single life except for a few special occasions that bring a larger number of single, available people to the area. But if you have a family, this is the place to be![read more...]

I had never visited Utah in my life before, but after searching online for months, for a place to buy a home for me & my husbands retirement years, I found Cedar City. We went to visit this adorable city in the late summer of 2006. When we got there, we knew it was the place we wished to live. It has a lot to offer, it's quaint and the people are just great. We fell in love with this wonderful little city right away and we decided to buy a new condo there. It is the place that we will spend the rest of our lives enjoying the beauty and peaceful living.[read more...]

In two years time there was an incredible rise in the cost of real estate. Speculation began to grow and individuals and developers were riding an unreal real estate market. Alas, all good things must end...and now individuals and developers are literally sitting (or losing their properties). There's no employment base for all these housing developments...where are the people going to come from if they can't find work?[read more...]

Our family just moved to Cedar City and we are in heaven! Of course, it is for people wanting a small town atmosphere and all the benefits that come along with that. You may have to shop outside of town sometimes but it is more than worth it. There is so much to do and just the drive to take my kids to school each day is breathtaking! We are not LDS yet respect the religion and appreciate what positive affects it has on a community. Homes have gotten too expensive here but haven't they everywhere. At least here there is some justification. The quality of life is amazing compared to our native CA. People are friendly, respectful and seem to have a positive attitude which is refreshing to say the least.[read more...]

how can the local ordinary people afford any housing here is beyond me. Nice little town but seems to have already been inflated by out-of-state investors.[read more...]
