5+ Bedroom Homes for Sale in Cedar City, Utah
Cedar City sits at 5,800 feet on Utah's high desert plateau, and large families have been drawn here for the same reasons for decades: Southern Utah University anchors the town, Iron County schools post solid scores, and lot sizes still stretch wider than what you'd get along the Wasatch Front for similar money. Five-bedroom homes show up across a few distinct pockets — newer construction in Cross Hollows and Fiddlers Canyon, established two-story builds in the Westview and Royal Hunte areas, and a handful of acreage properties out toward Enoch and Kanarraville where families want room for horses, shops, or extended-family living. Many 5+ bedroom listings here include a finished basement, which is how Cedar City builders typically deliver the extra bedroom count without ballooning the footprint.
Pricing on 5-bedroom homes in Cedar generally runs from the mid $500s for a standard 2,800–3,400 sq ft tract build up past $900K for newer custom homes on larger parcels. Multigenerational setups are increasingly common — separate basement entrances, second kitchens, and mother-in-law layouts are worth asking about since SUU staff, regional medical workers, and remote families relocating from California and Las Vegas all push demand in that direction. Winters are real (snow falls, but plows run), summers stay 10–15 degrees cooler than St. George, and the airport handles daily Delta flights to SLC. Browse the active 5+ bedroom listings below to see what's currently available across Cedar City and the surrounding Iron County communities.

Common questions
About 5+ bedroom homes in Cedar City.
What kinds of homes in Cedar City typically have 5 or more bedrooms? ▾
Most 5+ bedroom inventory falls into a few buckets: newer two-story builds in subdivisions like Cross Hollows, Fiddlers Canyon, and the Equestrian Pointe area; older ranch homes near SUU with finished basements that add bedrooms below grade; and larger custom homes on the west side or out toward Enoch with acreage. Basement bedrooms are very common here because most Cedar City homes have full basements due to the cold winters and frost line.
What's the typical price range for a 5-bedroom home in Cedar City? ▾
Pricing generally runs from the mid $400s for an older split-entry or basic two-story up to $700K–$900K+ for newer builds with three-car garages, RV parking, and finished basements. Homes on acreage in Enoch or Kanarraville with 5+ bedrooms can push past $1M. Cedar City still prices well below St. George for comparable square footage.
Are 5+ bedroom homes good candidates for SUU student rentals? ▾
Yes, this is one of the strongest rental submarkets in town. Southern Utah University has roughly 14,000 students and a chronic shortage of off-campus housing, so larger homes near the university rent by the room very reliably. Investors should check Cedar City's zoning and rental licensing rules, since some neighborhoods cap the number of unrelated occupants.
Do these larger homes usually have basements that count toward bedroom count? ▾
Almost always. A home listed as 5 or 6 bedrooms in Cedar City typically has 3 bedrooms up and 2–3 down. Make sure basement bedrooms have egress windows that meet code — older homes near downtown sometimes have non-conforming basement rooms that legally shouldn't be counted.
How does the cold-climate factor into owning a larger home here? ▾
Cedar City sits at 5,800 feet and sees real winters with snow and single-digit nights, so heating a 3,500–5,000 sq ft home matters. Ask for 12 months of gas bills before writing an offer. Homes built after 2010 with upgraded insulation and high-efficiency furnaces run dramatically cheaper than 1980s–90s builds of the same size.
Are there many new-construction 5+ bedroom options? ▾
Several active subdivisions on the north and west sides of town are building floor plans with 5–6 bedrooms standard, often with a main-floor primary and 4 bedrooms split between upstairs and basement. Visionary Homes, Ence, and a handful of local builders are the most active. Lot sizes typically range from 0.18 to 0.30 acres in these newer phases.
