Living in Bloomington

Where it is and getting around

The original Bloomington sits in the southwest corner of St. George, west of I-15 at the Brigham Road interchange (Exit 4). The Virgin River runs along its north and east edges. It began taking shape in 1966 and was annexed into St. George in 1982. Don’t confuse it with Bloomington Hills, a separate community east of the freeway around the city-owned St. George Golf Club.

Drive times are rough estimates in normal traffic and vary by street.

Homes you’ll find

Bloomington is mostly resale, with homes built from the late 1960s into the 2000s. It has several distinct parts:

• The core: an established grid of single-level and two-story homes on wider lots with mature shade trees.
• Bloomington Country Club: homes around a private 18-hole course open since 1969, including lots on the fairways.
• Bloomington Ranches: larger lots, some close to an acre, many with horse rights and room for RV garages or shops. Mostly built 1975–2000.
• Bloomington Gardens and Bloomington Knolls: smaller single-family homes and attached townhomes, including single-story townhomes from 1988 off Brigham Road.

Recent sales have run from below the citywide median for townhomes to the top of the market for golf-course and acreage homes. For reference, the citywide single-family median sale price was $563,500 in September 2026 (see the full report).

Parks, trails, and things to do

• Bloomington Park (650 W Man O War Road): about 26 acres with ball fields, pickleball, disc golf, a playground, and pavilions.
• Virgin River South Trail: a paved, mostly flat path from Bloomington Park south toward Sun River.
• Bloomington Petroglyph Park: a small protected site of Ancestral Puebloan rock art at Geronimo Road and Navajo Drive.

Short-term rental note

The only Bloomington development on the city’s approved short-term rental list is Bloomington Country Club Vacation Villas. The rest of Bloomington falls under the standard citywide rules.

St. George allows nightly (short-term) rentals only in commercial zones, in developments named on the city’s approved short-term rental list, or on a single-family lot of two acres or more that fronts a major collector or arterial street and sits at least 500 feet from another short-term rental. Every short-term rental also needs a city business license. Always confirm a specific parcel with the city before buying with rental income in mind. See the full short-term rental guide →

Before you buy here

• Flood zone: Bloomington sits low along the Virgin River. Check the FEMA flood map for any lot near the river.
• Electric provider: homes south of the Virgin River are generally served by Dixie Power, not the city’s utility.
• The private golf course requires membership, so ask about costs if golf is a draw.
• Confirm school assignments with the Washington County School District boundary tool.
