Retirement in St.George Never Looked So Good
Did you know that St. George Utah came in at number #4 as one of the top places to retire in the country?
Oh yes, this beautiful town has made it on the beautiful map, my friend!
Our sun-bathed city has become quite a popular haven for active adults of all ages, looking for an abundant amount of outdoor recreation opportunities and year-round warmth! St.George sits perfectly in Southwest Utah, along the Nevada and Arizona borders, where retirees can hit the links on an exceptional golf course all year long, strap on their skis to hit the slopes when the first snowfalls, or choose a different hiking journey every other day.
All of this, in combination with so much more, makes St.George among the greatest places to retire! Whatever active adults are drawn to and find rewarding, they can pursue it easily in this quintessential town that offers the perfect mixture of excitement and relaxation.
With SunRiver Active Adult Communities as your guide, here is why retirement in St.George, Utah has grown increasingly popular over the years:
St.George’s Outdoor Lifestyle
Most people leave the stress of the big city life behind and enjoy St. George, which offers the same small-town feeling of comfort and security with all the amenities of a larger city.
Those of us who are overly fond of the outdoor lifestyle certainly relish in the town’s sublime landscape, boasting vast contrasts, from the Mojave Desert at 2,000 feet above sea level to the 10,000-foot ridges of Pine Valley Mountain.
This whole region of Southern Utah is practically begging to be explored! So pick your poison– whether that be mountain biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, road cycling, camping or simply soaking in nature’s beauty, with a walk along one of our many paved and unpaved hiking trails.
There is definitely no shortage of interesting things to do in this breathtaking, historic town, my friend.
Retirees can take a trip back in time, whenever their hearts desire it! Start by exploring the Silver Reef ghost town or the city’s historic pioneer buildings. Or, set out to discover the area’s natural wonders by sightseeing in canyons, coves, and cactus gardens. For golfers though, St. George is an undeniable delight, with endless waves of green.
In proportion to its population, this sun-drenched oasis offers more golf than any other place in Utah. In fact, St.George is actually referred to as the golf capital of Utah!
Golfers can play year-round on one of our adorable town’s 13 challenging courses with vistas, warm year-round temperatures and some of the finest course designs in the Sunbelt!
Perhaps you might even seek some adrenaline-pumping activities such as skydiving or ziplining. Maybe even opt for an aerial tour by helicopter or hot air balloon over Utah’s stunning Zion National Park?
Small Town Dining and Entertainment
After a day exploring the sights and sounds of the desert, retirees can head to St. George's quaint historic downtown and enjoy a quiet meal at one of the many local dives or take in the peace and quiet of our town’s nightlife!
The best part though? Well that would be the awesome local events St George offers throughout the year, between farmer’s markets, gatherings, festivals, and music and art, the town never stops with something beautiful and local throughout the year.
Looking for shopping? Look no further! From big box stores to small boutiques and local crafts, to malls, restaurants, and entertainment. We are simply teeming with activities both indoors and outdoors!
With nearly half of the city’s population over age 62, according to Livability, active adults find themselves among friends. It’s easier than ever to get to know other like minded people and even other retirees people in this quaint, charming little town, which is Utah’s eighth-largest city.
And with Las Vegas and Arizona close by, active adults have easy access to 24-hour casinos and every imaginable entertainment their hearts.
