Review of St. George, Utah


The red rocks are amazing, however...
Star Rating - 11/28/2016
I love living in southern Utah. My family actually moved to St. George from Cedar City (which is also beautiful, but that's for another day) about 3 years ago. I'll admit there was some adjusting to the heat, but we couldn't be happier here. There is so much to do: hiking, swimming (sometimes both at the same place), fishing, theater, arts, golf, tennis, etc.
There are drawbacks too. For one, the heat can get a little intense for some , but I always tell people that everywhere you go has air conditioning and there are hundreds of pools and splash pads throughout the city. Plus, spring begins 2 months early and warm weather lasts right into November.
The other thing that is kind of a drawback is that if you are active at all, red dirt gets everywhere. But I notice it more than most because I'm a carpet cleaner (stgcleanestcarpets.com).
Anyway, all in all, I would say St. George is a great place to live. Although maybe I should've told you how horrible it is so that you wouldn't want to move here. Kidding. Kidding.

Valley girls are more likely to lead to your demise than Valley fever.

You mention that "red dirt gets everywhere." I'm concerned about Valley Fever. I know that the fungus that causes Valley Fever is found in the soil throughout the desert southwest. I've considered retiring to St. George. But I'm 66 years old and have COPD. Is Valley Fever an issue I should be concerned with?
