Joshuas At Southgate Real Estate | Homes for Sale in St. George, Utah

Joshuas At Southgate is a detached single-family subdivision off Tonaquint Drive, in southwest St. George just minutes from downtown and the Southgate Golf Course. Unlike the surrounding townhome and condo communities, the homes here are full single-family residences on their own lots, with attached 2-car garages and small but private yards. The subdivision is still building out, with homes ranging from older 2005 construction through brand-new 2024 builds in the same neighborhood.

The combination that makes Joshuas work for so many buyer types: an HOA of only $69 to $74 per month (one of the lowest in the area), detached single-family homes rather than townhomes, and a central location close to downtown, Southgate Golf Course, and a new city park with walking trails and pickleball courts. Pricing typically runs from the high $300,000s to the mid $400,000s depending on size, build year, and whether the home includes a finished basement or casita.

Why Buyers Choose Joshuas

The buyer pool at Joshuas is mixed and the reasons people land here are pretty consistent. They want a detached single-family home rather than a townhome, but they do not want the lot maintenance burden of a quarter-acre yard. They want a real attached garage. They want a central location close to downtown and the freeway. And they want carrying costs that work, which is where the $69 to $74 monthly HOA comes in.

Compared to a townhome community at a similar price point, you get more privacy, your own yard, no shared walls, and a real driveway. Compared to a no-HOA neighborhood, you give up some yard space but get partial yard maintenance handled by the HOA and a more predictable streetscape. For first-time buyers, downsizers, snowbirds, and move-up families who want detached single-family living without the overhead, Joshuas hits a balance that is hard to find at this price point in St. George.

What the HOA Covers

The HOA at Joshuas is intentionally light. Monthly dues have run $69 to $74 in recent transactions, with a one-time transfer fee at closing typically between $295 and $350. What that covers:

• Common area maintenance throughout the subdivision
• Private road maintenance
• Partial yard maintenance (most commonly the front yard, with the back yard remaining the homeowner's responsibility)

What is not covered:

• No community pool or hot tub
• No clubhouse or fitness center
• No internet, water, or sewer bundled into dues
• No exterior building maintenance or insurance

For buyers who do not need a community pool or amenity package and want the lowest possible HOA on a detached home, this structure works. For buyers who want a clubhouse, pool, and fitness center bundled into the dues, communities like Hidden Valley Town Homes are a closer fit, though those are townhomes rather than detached homes.

What Homes Cost at Joshuas

The price range at Joshuas tracks closely with build year, size, and whether the home includes a finished basement or casita.

• Older single-level homes (2005 era, around 1,377 square feet): Recent sales around $390,000. These typically include some level of updates and a corner or interior lot.
• Newer single-level homes (2021 to 2024 builds, around 1,438 to 1,538 square feet): Recent sales between $390,000 and $420,000. These come with modern finishes, vaulted ceilings, stainless steel appliances, and current HVAC equipment.
• Larger homes with finished basements (around 2,469 to 2,668 square feet): Recent sales between $400,000 and $455,000. These offer 4 to 5 bedrooms total, walkout basement access, and the flexibility for multi-generational living.
• Homes with a separate mother-in-law suite: At least one recent transaction included a fully equipped basement-level casita with its own private entrance, kitchen, laundry, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and its own 1-car garage. These configurations are rare but show up occasionally.

Sold price per square foot has run roughly $162 on the larger basement homes (where finished basement square footage drags down the per-foot number) up to $286 on the smaller updated single-level homes. The per-foot range is broad and reflects the meaningful difference between basement square footage and main-level square footage in the buyer pool.

Location and Day-to-Day Convenience

The location is one of the stronger reasons buyers choose Joshuas. You are minutes from downtown St. George, just off Hilton Drive and Tonaquint Drive. The Southgate Golf Course is essentially next door for golfers, and a city park with walking trails and pickleball courts is being built across the street from the subdivision. For broader context on the local golf options, see St. George golf course homes.

The Bloomington commercial cluster, restaurants on Bluff Street, and I-15 access through the St. George Boulevard interchange are all within 5 to 10 minutes. For weekend trips, the southwest position gives quick access to Sand Hollow, Snow Canyon, and the trail networks to the west.

New Construction Within the Subdivision

Joshuas is one of the few St. George subdivisions where you can still buy brand-new construction on the same streets as resale homes from nearly two decades earlier. Recent transactions have included 2021, 2022, and 2024 builds, all within the same community. That kind of build-out timeline is unusual and gives buyers flexibility.

For buyers focused on new construction, current 16+ SEER HVAC equipment, modern post-tension foundations, and builder warranties are all reasons to consider the newer builds here over older resales. For broader new construction context, see St. George new construction.

Schools

• Elementary: Bloomington Elementary
• Intermediate: Tonaquint Intermediate
• Middle: Dixie Middle
• High: Dixie High

School assignments are consistent across Joshuas, which makes school-driven decisions easier here than in communities where the boundary cuts through. As always, verify the current assignment with the Washington County School District before relying on it. Background context is in the St. George schools guide.

What to Watch For in a Joshuas Home

The wide build era means inspection priorities depend on which vintage you are buying.

• Older 2005 builds: Verify HVAC age, water heater age, roof underlayment status, and original kitchen and bath conditions. Some homes have been refreshed over the years, others have not.
• Newer 2021 to 2024 builds: Walk the home carefully for any builder punch list items. Confirm builder warranty status and what is still covered. New construction quality varies between builders even within the same subdivision.
• Foundation types vary: Some homes use pier foundations, some use post-tension slab, and some use stem walls. Each has different inspection priorities. Confirm which type you are buying.
• Pool of bidders for basement homes: Larger basement homes have a narrower buyer pool than the single-level layouts. If you are buying one, consider what happens if you eventually need to sell.
• Yard maintenance scope: Confirm exactly what the HOA covers for your specific lot. Front yard maintenance can be requested through the HOA on some sections.
• Casita compliance: If a home includes a mother-in-law suite or casita, verify permit status and ADU compliance with the city.

Selling a Home at Joshuas

Joshuas has a wide buyer pool because the price points overlap with first-time buyers, downsizers, snowbirds, and move-up families. The homes that sell fastest tend to be the smaller single-level layouts in updated condition. The homes that take longer are usually the larger basement homes that have to find a narrower buyer pool willing to pay for finished below-grade space.

Pricing accuracy here depends on knowing which subset of Joshuas your home fits into. A 2005 single-level home cannot be priced like a 2024 single-level home, even on the same street. The build year, the finish quality, and the lot position all factor in.
