Homes Under $300,000 in Parowan, Utah
Parowan sits at the base of the Red Hills along I-15, about 20 minutes north of Cedar City and roughly 45 minutes from the ski runs at Brian Head. It's one of the last spots in southern Utah where $300K still buys real square footage rather than a starter condo. Older brick homes near Main Street and 100 South, many built in the 1950s through the 1970s, regularly list in the $220K-$290K range, and manufactured or modular homes on their own lots in the surrounding grid streets can come in even lower. Buyers priced out of St. George and Cedar City have been driving up demand here over the past few years, so inventory in this range moves faster than it used to.
What you get under $300K in Parowan is usually a 2-3 bedroom home on a lot big enough for a shop, RV parking, or a garden, with Iron County property taxes that run noticeably lower than Washington County's. Winters bring real snow — enough for Brian Head's season but enough that heating costs and roof upkeep matter — and summers stay milder than the desert floor of St. George. Parowan Elementary and Parowan High serve the town directly, and most jobs are a commute to Cedar City's hospital, Southern Utah University, or the regional airport.

Common questions
About homes under $300k in Parowan.
How many homes under $300K are usually for sale in Parowan? ▾
Inventory is small. Parowan typically has somewhere between two and ten active listings under $300K at any given time, and that includes manufactured homes and fixers. If nothing on the current list fits, it's worth checking back weekly — turnover is slow but steady.
What kind of home does $300K actually buy in Parowan? ▾
Most homes in this range are 1,000–1,800 sq ft ramblers or older two-stories built between 1900 and 1990, often on lots of a quarter acre or larger. Manufactured homes on permanent foundations also show up here, as do a few cabins and building lots. Expect some deferred maintenance at this price.
Is Parowan a reasonable commute to Cedar City for work? ▾
Yes. It's about 19 miles down I-15 to Cedar City, roughly a 20-minute drive in good weather. Many Parowan residents work at SUU, Cedar City schools, or the regional hospital and accept the commute in exchange for cheaper housing and small-town life.
Are property taxes low in Iron County? ▾
Iron County has some of the lower effective property tax rates in Utah, generally well under 1% of assessed value for a primary residence. On a $275,000 home that often pencils out to roughly $1,200–$1,600 per year, though exact bills depend on the taxing district and primary-residence exemption.
Can I get financing on older or manufactured homes in this price range? ▾
Usually yes, but it depends on the property. Conventional, FHA, USDA, and VA loans all work in Parowan, and USDA is a real option here since the area qualifies as rural. Manufactured homes need a permanent foundation and a HUD tag for most loan programs, and pre-1976 mobile homes generally won't finance conventionally.
What should I inspect carefully on an older Parowan home? ▾
At 6,000 feet of elevation with cold winters, pay close attention to the roof, attic insulation, furnace age, and any signs of frozen-pipe history. Many older homes are on septic rather than city sewer, so a septic inspection is worth the cost. Also check for knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring in pre-1970 houses.
