Investment Properties for Sale in Hurricane, Utah
Hurricane has become one of the more approachable entry points for investors priced out of St. George proper. The city sits right at the base of the Hurricane Cliffs along Highway 9, the main route into Zion National Park, which means steady demand from vacation renters headed to Springdale, Sand Hollow State Park, and the Hurricane Valley's growing pickleball and mountain bike scene. Median purchase prices here typically run 15-25% below comparable properties in St. George or Washington City, while nightly rental rates for Zion-adjacent stays hold up well from March through October. That gap between acquisition cost and rental income is the main reason investors keep circling back to this zip code.
Zoning matters more here than in most Washington County cities — Hurricane has specific overlay districts for short-term rentals, and not every neighborhood allows nightly rentals, so confirming a parcel's STR status before writing an offer saves headaches later. Long-term rental demand is also real, driven by Dixie Technical College, Coral Canyon's employment growth, and workers commuting to St. George's hospital and retail corridors. New construction in Coral Canyon and Sky Ridge tends to carry HOA rules worth reading closely if the plan is nightly rentals, while older homes near Main Street and 100 South often have fewer restrictions and lower entry prices.

Common questions
About investment properties in Hurricane.
Which Hurricane neighborhoods allow nightly (short-term) rentals? ▾
Nightly rentals are limited to specific zoned developments — most commonly Sky Ranch, Stone Cliff at Sand Hollow, parts of Coral Canyon, and the Sand Hollow Resort area. Hurricane City does not allow STRs in standard residential zones, so confirm the zoning and HOA rules in writing before closing. The city keeps a current list of approved STR communities, and HOAs in those areas require their own nightly-rental permit.
What kind of returns are STR investors seeing near Sand Hollow? ▾
Performance varies a lot by property, but well-furnished homes with private pools and easy access to Sand Hollow Reservoir typically run 55–70% occupancy annually, with peak nightly rates in March–May and September–October when Zion traffic is heaviest. Newer builds with toy-hauler garages and sleeping capacity for 10+ tend to outperform smaller units. Run your numbers against AirDNA or Rabbu comps for the specific subdivision, not Hurricane as a whole.
Are long-term rentals a better play than STRs in Hurricane? ▾
It depends on your zoning and your capital. Long-term rentals in older Hurricane neighborhoods (north of SR-9, around 100 South) have lower entry prices and steadier tenants — often workers commuting to St. George or Intermountain Healthcare. STRs require a much higher purchase price and furnishing budget but produce 2–3x the gross revenue when they're in the right zone.
How do property taxes work on a non-primary residence in Hurricane? ▾
Utah taxes primary residences at 55% of assessed value, but investment and second homes are taxed at 100% — so the effective rate roughly doubles. Expect annual property taxes around 0.9%–1.1% of market value on an investment property in Washington County. Build that into your pro forma, especially if you're comparing to a state like Arizona or Nevada.
What's the difference between buying near Sand Hollow versus closer to downtown Hurricane? ▾
Sand Hollow-area properties (Sky Ranch, Stone Cliff, the resort) command higher prices and are built for the STR vacation market — pools, casitas, RV bays. Downtown Hurricane and the older grid north of State Street is where long-term rental inventory lives, with smaller lots, 1980s–2000s construction, and tenant pools made up of local workers and families. Different strategies, different buyer profiles.
Can out-of-state buyers manage a Hurricane rental remotely? ▾
Yes, and most do. There's a deep bench of property managers in the St. George/Hurricane area handling both long-term leases and STR turnovers — companies like Utah's Best Vacation Rentals, Sand Hollow Vacation Rentals, and several local LTR managers. STR management fees typically run 20–25% of gross; long-term management runs 8–10%.
