Brookside Homes with In-Law Suite
Multigenerational setups are one of the most common requests I get for the small towns, and Brookside fits the need well: bigger lots, flexible floor plans, and a lifestyle that suits families combining households. This page gathers listings with in-law suite potential, and the rules on second kitchens and separate entrances vary by jurisdiction, so I verify what is actually permitted on any specific property before you count on it.
Brookside is a little riverside community on SR-18, about 23 miles and a half hour north of St. George, tucked along the Santa Clara River with BLM land wrapped around three sides of it. It started in 1902 as a travelers' rest stop and it still feels like a place you slow down for: around a hundred recorded lots, a good share of them held as summer and second homes, big cottonwoods, and the sound of actual running water, which is not something most of Washington County can offer.
County rules, not city rules
Brookside is unincorporated Washington County, so the county's land use code is what governs here, and it is friendlier to rural living than any city code in the area. County zoning in this country runs from one acre residential agricultural lots up to five and twenty acre agricultural ground. On accessory dwellings, the county allows one ADU on lots under five acres with size caps tied to lot size, and either the main home or the ADU has to be owner occupied most of the year if you rent the other. Short term rentals are licensed in the unincorporated county, but with an owner occupancy requirement and caps per subdivision, so this is not a place to model an absentee Airbnb portfolio, and I will tell you that straight before you buy on that thesis.
Common Questions
Can I add or rent a second dwelling in Brookside?
The rules depend on the jurisdiction and the specific parcel, and they change, so I verify current requirements directly before you count on a rental or a second kitchen. What I can tell you is that multigenerational living itself fits this town naturally: the lots and floor plans support it.
What makes a good in-law setup?
Separate entrance, real privacy between living spaces, and bathroom access that does not route guests through a bedroom. A basement with a futon is not an in-law suite, and I will tell you the difference on any listing you send me.
