Single Story Homes for Sale in Cedar City, Utah
Cedar City draws a lot of retirees and downsizers relocating from Southern California, Las Vegas, and the Wasatch Front, and single story homes are usually top of their list. The city's older grid neighborhoods near Southern Utah University tend to have smaller rambler-style homes from the 1960s-80s, while newer single-level construction has spread out toward Enoch and the west side subdivisions off Cross Hollow and Airport Road. Winters here bring real snow — Cedar City sits at 5,800 feet and gets more accumulation than St. George or Hurricane — so avoiding stairs to a laundry room or garage matters more here than in the warmer corners of the state.
Single-level floor plans in Cedar City run the gamut from modest 1,200 square-foot ramblers under $350,000 to newer rambler builds with 3-car garages and finished basements-optional layouts pushing past $500,000. Buyers with mobility needs, aging parents, or a preference for one-level living also like that many of these homes sit on larger lots, since the town hasn't run out of buildable land the way Washington County has. Some come with rambler-plus-basement configurations that still qualify as single-level living upstairs. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About single story homes in Cedar City.
Are single story homes common in Cedar City? ▾
Yes — ramblers and ranch-style homes make up a significant share of Cedar City's housing stock, both in mid-century neighborhoods near SUU and in newer subdivisions like Cross Hollow and Fiddlers Canyon. Builders here continue to put up one-level floor plans because retiree and downsizer demand is steady year-round.
What do single story homes typically cost in Cedar City? ▾
Older ranchers from the 1960s-80s in the 1,400-1,800 sq ft range generally list in the mid $300s to low $400s. Newer construction with 1,800-2,400 sq ft on the main level, attached three-car garages, and modern finishes typically runs $475K to $650K, with custom builds on larger lots pushing past $700K.
Do most single story homes here have basements? ▾
Many do. Full or partial basements are common in Cedar City because the elevation and soil conditions support them, and they let owners keep daily living on one floor while gaining storage, a cold room, or finished rec space below. Listings will specify whether the basement is finished, unfinished, or walkout.
Which neighborhoods have the most one-level inventory? ▾
Cross Hollow Estates, Fiddlers Canyon, Coral Canyon-area developments on the north end, and the Royal Hunte subdivision tend to carry the most single story listings. Closer to downtown and SUU, older neighborhoods off 200 North and Center Street have a steady supply of mid-century ranchers.
Is a single story home better for Cedar City's winters? ▾
Most local buyers think so. Snow loads, icy steps, and heating a second floor that overheats in summer are all avoided with a one-level plan. Roof access for snow rake work is also simpler on a single story footprint, which matters during heavier winters when Cedar can pick up 40-plus inches of snow.
Are HOAs common in single story subdivisions? ▾
It varies. Older established neighborhoods typically have no HOA, while newer rambler-focused developments like parts of Cross Hollow and some Coral Canyon phases do carry modest HOA fees that cover common areas and basic standards. Each listing will note the HOA status and monthly cost.
