The character

A neighborhood
where you can hear yourself think.

Cross Hollow Hills is the closest thing Cedar City has to genuine country living within ten minutes of a Costco. The original plat was recorded back in 1990 and the first lots sold in 1992, so the neighborhood has settled into itself the way only thirty-plus years of mature Pinion Pines and Junipers can. You wind up Cross Hollow Road, the valley falls away behind you, and by the time you reach the second cattle guard the rest of Cedar City might as well be a different state.

The defining feature here is space. Lots run from 2 acres on the smaller end to 5 acres on the larger, and the zoning carries animal rights, so horses, small livestock, gardens, and hobby farms are not just allowed, they are the point. Drive the loops and you'll see barns, shops, equestrian facilities, and the occasional pasture fence held up by a mix of optimism and good engineering. It is a working-rural neighborhood, not a manicured suburb pretending to be one.

And yet you are not isolated. Providence Center, with its full grocery and dining lineup, is about five minutes down the hill. SUU is eight minutes. Downtown Cedar City is ten. Interstate 15 is right there for weekend runs to Zion or Salt Lake. The trade you make in Cross Hollow Hills is privacy and elbow room in exchange for a slightly longer drive to coffee, and most of the people who live up there will tell you that trade has been worth it every single morning. If you are weighing acreage against the in-town options, it is worth comparing notes across the other Cedar City neighborhoods before you decide.

Cedar City Market Snapshot

The city sets the frame,
your home sets the price.

These are the citywide Cedar City single-family numbers I brief every seller with before we talk strategy. They show which direction the market is moving. What they cannot tell you is what your specific home is worth, because a citywide median hides the differences in lot, finish, and location that decide your number. That gap is exactly why a personalized Cross Hollow Hills valuation matters more here than any headline median.

How to read this

Citywide single-family figures, year over year. A rising median with homes selling near asking signals a market with momentum. Use it as backdrop for your home, not as a per-square-foot price.

For Cross Hollow Hills sellers

What you actually
need to know
about listing here.

Cross Hollow Hills draws a narrow, specific pool of buyers. The mistake most agents make is pricing your home like the rest of Cedar City and marketing it like a tract subdivision. Get the framing right and you reach the right buyer without burning months on the market.

01

Buyers price the land, not the square footage.

In a Cedar City tract neighborhood, price per square foot is the gravitational center. In Cross Hollow Hills, it isn't. A 2,800 square foot home on 5 view acres with a full barn and arena will trade higher than a 4,200 square foot home on 2 flat acres with no outbuildings. Comp selection has to match acreage, orientation, and infrastructure, not just bed-bath-sqft.

02

Outbuildings are revenue, not decor.

A finished, insulated shop with 220-amp power adds real dollars in this neighborhood. A working barn, a riding arena, or a hay storage building does the same. Listing copy that mentions outbuildings as an afterthought leaves money on the table. Photograph the shop interior. Drone the arena. Spell out the dimensions and the power.

03

The buyer often arrives from out of state.

A meaningful share of Cross Hollow Hills buyers find the home before they find Cedar City. They are searching the country for animal-rights acreage near amenities, and Cross Hollow Hills is genuinely competitive against rural pockets elsewhere in the West. Marketing has to reach beyond the local MLS. Out-of-state digital reach and clear lifestyle storytelling matter more here than in any in-town neighborhood.

04

Days on market run longer. That's normal.

The citywide pace is shown in the market snapshot above. Cross Hollow Hills typically takes longer than the citywide average because the buyer pool is smaller and the price point is higher. That isn't a pricing problem by itself, but it is a marketing-stamina problem. Plan for a real listing campaign, not a six-week push.

05

Condition flags for the era and the use.

Original 1990s and early 2000s builds carry predictable inspection items: water heaters past 12 years, roofs in the second half of their life, septic systems that need pump-and-inspect documentation, and well-water systems on the lots without culinary water. Add equestrian wear-and-tear on fencing, gates, and pasture footing. Address the obvious items before list day or expect them back in buyer requests.

06

Architectural Control Policy paperwork matters.

Cross Hollow Hills does not have a traditional HOA, but the Community Association's Architectural Control Policy governs new construction and exterior modifications. Buyers will ask. Have the recorded covenants, any approval letters for additions or detached buildings, and the association contact info ready before list day. Smooth disclosure removes a stall point that has killed deals in slower months.

What's nearby

Common questions

Cross Hollow Hills,
answered.

Where is Cross Hollow Hills in Cedar City, Utah?

Cross Hollow Hills sits in the hills southwest of Cedar City, above Westview Drive, technically inside Iron County rather than the city limits. You access the neighborhood by winding up Cross Hollow Road. The community looks east toward the mountains and west across the Cedar Valley. ZIP code is 84721. The original plat was recorded in 1990 with first lots sold in 1992, and the community now has 156 total lots and roughly 140 homes built.

Is there an HOA in Cross Hollow Hills?

Cross Hollow Hills does not have a traditional HOA with mandatory monthly dues, but the Cross Hollow Hills Community Association maintains an Architectural Control Policy that governs new construction and exterior modifications. The intent is to preserve architectural diversity and the neighborhood's rural character. The association also hosts community traditions like an annual Halloween trunk or treat. Specific covenants vary by lot and phase, so always pull the recorded documents before assuming what is allowed.

Can I have horses or livestock in Cross Hollow Hills?

Yes. Cross Hollow Hills has animal rights baked into its zoning. The neighborhood was designed around rural living with small farms, gardens, livestock, and horses allowed. Drive through the subdivision and you will see equestrian facilities, barns, shops, and other outbuildings on a significant share of the lots. This is one of the main reasons buyers seek out Cross Hollow Hills specifically rather than other Cedar City neighborhoods.

What schools serve Cross Hollow Hills?

Cross Hollow Hills is in the Iron County School District. Iron Springs Elementary serves K-5 students, Cedar Middle School handles grades 6-8, and Cedar High School is the assigned high school. Iron County School District periodically reviews boundary lines, so verify your specific address with the district before relying on a school assignment.

What is the price range for homes in Cross Hollow Hills?

Cross Hollow Hills trades higher than the Cedar City citywide median because the lots are 2 to 5 acres and most homes are custom or semi-custom builds. The neighborhood ceiling depends heavily on acreage, view orientation, outbuildings, and whether the home has been updated since its original build. Pricing your specific lot requires a real comp pull against similar-acreage, similar-vintage sales, not a citywide average. The citywide single-family figures from the Iron County Board of REALTORS MLS are published on this page as a baseline.
