Homes Under $500,000 in La Verkin, Utah
La Verkin sits on the bench above the Virgin River about 20 minutes northeast of St. George and 15 minutes from Zion National Park's west entrance. For buyers with a budget under $500K, this is one of the more realistic price points in Washington County right now — single-family homes here still trade in the high $300s to upper $400s, where similar square footage in Santa Clara or Washington City has pushed well past it. Most of what comes up in this range is 3-bed, 2-bath stucco homes built between the late 1990s and 2010s, plus a handful of older block homes on bigger lots near State Street and the original townsite. Manufactured homes on owned land also show up under $500K, and some sit on quarter-acre-plus parcels with room for RV parking, a garden, or a few animals depending on the zone.
The trade-off for the lower price is climate and commute: La Verkin sits at about 3,200 feet, so summers run hot (high 90s to low 100s in July) but winters are mild and snow rarely sticks. Most working buyers commute to St. George or Hurricane, and the new SR-7 Southern Parkway has cut drive times to the I-15 corridor. Hurricane Valley schools serve the area, and Sky Mountain Golf Course is right next door in Hurricane. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market under $500K in La Verkin.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in La Verkin.
What kind of home can I actually get in La Verkin for under $500K? ▾
Most listings in this range are 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family homes between 1,400 and 2,000 square feet, typically built in the 1990s through 2010s. You'll also see older block homes on larger lots in the original townsite and some manufactured homes on owned land. Lot sizes tend to run larger than comparable St. George neighborhoods.
How does La Verkin pricing compare to nearby Hurricane or St. George? ▾
La Verkin generally runs $30K–$75K below comparable homes in Hurricane and noticeably below Washington City or Santa Clara. The trade-off is a slightly longer drive to shopping and the I-15 corridor, but proximity to Zion and the Virgin River gorge is a draw for many buyers.
Are there HOA fees on most homes under $500K here? ▾
Many older La Verkin neighborhoods have no HOA at all, which is part of the appeal for buyers who want RV parking, outbuildings, or animals. Newer subdivisions south of town and a few pocket developments do carry modest HOA dues, usually under $40 a month.
What's the property tax rate like in La Verkin? ▾
Washington County primary-residence property tax effective rates run around 0.55–0.65% of market value once the residential exemption is applied. On a $450K primary home, expect roughly $2,500–$2,900 per year. Non-primary (second home) tax bills are roughly 80% higher because the exemption doesn't apply.
Is La Verkin a good fit for short-term rental investors under $500K? ▾
La Verkin itself has strict limits on nightly rentals in residential zones, so it's not the spot for a Zion Airbnb strategy — Virgin and parts of Springdale are where nightly-rental zoning lives. Long-term rentals do well here given the Zion-area workforce and commuters to St. George.
How's the water situation for homes in this price range? ▾
Most La Verkin homes are on city water through the Town of La Verkin, with secondary irrigation shares available in some older neighborhoods for outdoor watering. Secondary water is a real cost-saver in summer, so it's worth asking the listing agent whether a specific property has shares attached.
