| My daughter is moving to St George next month trying to find an apartment. 1 bedroom monthly rent is around $6-700 and she called couple apartments but could not find 1 bed room apartment available now. Is the area really this expensive and hard to find apartments? Any "bad areas" to avoid? |
| I recently moved back up north after living down in St. George. I am still in school and got married while I was down there. You can find some pretty good priced apartments around the school. We were only paying $400 a month for the few months we were down there. Most of the area really is clean. I don't know of anywhere I would avoid, but I would recommend looking around the school for something priced a little better. I know there were some near the temple that were very reasonably priced, temple view or something like that they were named. |

There really isn't a bad part of town.
A good indicator: the local newspaper made a huge deal (front page) about a gas station getting robbed. I'd second the apartments around campus, a lot of them are all-inclusive. There is a lot of shopping and restaurants close to the school as well. If she has a car, that's fine... but she'll really only need a moped. Additionally, campus police don't fuck around. ETA: It's still summer, so an apartment might actually be available down here. Come fall, the areas around campus fill up quickly. |

No real bad areas, some are just older than others. Anything near the college will be in a more 'historic' part. Crime is almost non-existent around here.
Be careful about renting houses, as there is occasionally a scam with people posting houses/apts for rent and them not being the owners that was going on some time ago. Real estate in general has gotten rampantly overpriced and I think the rentals in the area aren't growing with the increase in population so its not the easiest place to just find a place and go. |
