I grew up in St. George. I watched it grow into the city it is today. I was a non-LDS growing up in a prevelant LDS area. Today the prejudices are not so bad, outsiders and new commers are welcomed readily. The people are great and it is a clean city compared to most. However, recently the jobs have dried up average saleries are behind and lagging. And of course the cost of living is way too high. In order for myself to go to college, My husband and I had to move away from St. George so that we could afford for me to work part time. If you are lucky enough to have two steady incomes into one household, St. George would be to the place to be. It would be a great place to raise a family. Keep in mind the weather there is HOT! Reaching triple digits by May is not uncommon, and for most new commers it takes about a year to climatize and get used to the heat. You will learn quickly that yard work should begin early in the morning and water should be consumed in copious amounts if you plan on spending the day outside. St. George is really a great place to live no matter what stage of life you are in as long as you are prepared and can financially support living there.
