St. George, known for its mild snow-free winters, is recognized as one of the best overall places to live and regularly tops the list as one of the most desirable places to retire. Many factors contributing to this recognition include: clear blue skies, low humidity, clean air, scenic beauty, affordable cost of living, accessibility, small town feel, big town resources, and low crime rate. Many natural attractions draw people to the area including Zion’s National Park, north rim of the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Brian Head ski area. As a compliment, the world-class entertainment of Las Vegas and its international airport is only an hour and a half away.
