Single Story Homes for Sale in Glendale, Utah
Glendale sits along Highway 89 in Kane County, a small ranching town of roughly 400 residents tucked between Orderville and the red-rock entrance to Zion via the east side. At 5,800 feet of elevation, the valley runs along the East Fork of the Virgin River, and most of what's built here is low-slung — ranch houses, manufactured homes on acreage, and newer single-level builds on parcels ranging from a half acre to several acres. Single story floor plans dominate the inventory for practical reasons: lot sizes are generous enough that owners don't need to build up, snow loads in winter are easier to manage on a single roofline, and a lot of buyers here are retirees or second-home owners who want everything on one level.
Demand for one-level living in Glendale comes from a specific mix: Zion-area workers priced out of Springdale, St. George retirees wanting cooler summers at elevation, and out-of-state buyers looking for a quiet base near Bryce Canyon, Zion, and the Grand Staircase-Escalante. Prices typically run well below what you'd pay in Washington County for comparable square footage, and many properties include outbuildings, horse setups, or room for an ADU. Cell service has improved, fiber internet is reaching more parcels, and the drive to St. George is about 90 minutes south.

Common questions
About single story homes in Glendale.
Why are single story homes so common in Glendale? ▾
Lot sizes are large and land is relatively affordable, so there's no pressure to build vertically. The buyer pool also skews toward retirees and second-home owners who specifically want single-level living, and contractors building spec homes here respond to that demand.
What price range should I expect for a one-level home in Glendale? ▾
Most single story homes in Glendale trade between the high $300s and mid $600s, depending on acreage, outbuildings, and condition. Newer builds on usable acreage and homes with water shares or horse facilities push toward the upper end.
Do single story Glendale homes usually sit on acreage? ▾
Yes, most do. Half-acre to five-acre parcels are typical, and properties with irrigation rights along the Virgin River corridor are especially valued. Smaller in-town lots exist but are less common than acreage parcels along Highway 89 and the side roads.
How far is Glendale from Zion and St. George? ▾
Zion's east entrance is about 25 minutes away through Mt. Carmel Junction, and St. George is roughly 90 minutes southwest via Highway 89 and I-15. Bryce Canyon is about an hour north, which is part of why this stretch attracts buyers who want quick access to multiple parks.
Are basements an option, or are slab-on-grade homes the norm? ▾
Both exist. Older ranches and many manufactured homes sit on crawl spaces or slabs, while custom builds in the last decade more often include full or partial basements. Soil and water table vary by parcel, so a geotechnical look is worth doing before assuming you can dig.
What about utilities and internet for rural Glendale properties? ▾
Most homes are on private well and septic rather than municipal systems, and propane is the standard for heat and cooking since natural gas lines don't reach town. South Central Communications has been expanding fiber in the area, so internet speeds on many parcels are better than buyers expect.
