Desert Color Homes For Sale

Desert Color is a master-planned community on the south end of St. George, along I-15 just north of the Arizona line. The first plat was recorded in June 2019, and the community has filled in quickly since: Washington County has recorded more than 80 plats here, covering roughly 2,250 lots, and nearly every home on the MLS was built in 2020 or later. The listings above show every Desert Color home for sale right now — currently 128 active listings with a median asking price of $546,000.

What Buyers Find in Desert Color

Desert Color is built tighter than most of St. George. The median lot is about a tenth of an acre and the median home is around 1,760 square feet, so the community leans toward townhomes, condos, and smaller single-family homes, with a smaller share of larger custom-style houses. County building records through 2022 counted about 280 single-family homes, 226 townhomes, and 40 condo units inside the community outline, and construction has continued since.

• Price range: median list price $546,000; the median sale price over the last 12 months was $563,000 across 100 sales.
• HOA dues: about $237 a month at the median. Dues vary by neighborhood and by whether exterior or yard care is included, so the exact figure is in each listing.
• Home types: buyers who want lower-maintenance living can filter to St. George townhomes or condos; new builds across the city are on the St. George new construction page.

Neighborhoods Inside Desert Color

Desert Color is made up of separately platted neighborhoods, and the MLS often lists homes under the neighborhood name rather than "Desert Color." Searching only one name can miss listings.

• Desert Color Resort — the resort-designated area near the lagoon at The Shores, with condos, townhomes, and single-family homes.
• Auburn Hills — the first neighborhood platted (2019), with single-family homes and condos.
• Sage Haven — one of the more recent areas, with new phases recorded through 2025.
• Regency at Desert Color — the community's 55+ neighborhood.
• The Shores, Ironwood Flats, Atara, Azure, and Atkinville Townhomes — smaller neighborhoods listed on the developer's site and in county plats; Atkinville Townhomes has its own page.

Lagoon, Pools, Parks, and Trails

The signature amenity is the lagoon at The Shores: roughly 2.5 acres of water with more than a half-mile of white-sand shoreline, about 8.5 feet deep at the center, used for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Colcada Springs Pool & Park is open daily to Desert Color residents and resort guests. The developer lists six miles of trails and 13 parks across the community, including Akoya Pearl Community Park in The Shores and several parks in Auburn Hills, with more under construction in Sage Haven. Amenity access and fees are set by the HOA, so buyers should confirm what a specific home's dues include.

Builders in Desert Color

Several builders work in Desert Color at once, which is why floor plans and finish levels vary block to block. The developer currently lists AJ Construction, CareFree Homes, Cedar Point, Cole West, Goodboro, Holmes Homes, Pulte Homes, Split Rock, and Visionary Homes.

Vacation Rentals in Desert Color

Short-term rentals are part of the plan in Desert Color's resort-designated neighborhoods, such as Desert Color Resort and The Shores, but not everywhere in the community. Rental rules are set in each neighborhood's CC&Rs, so investors should confirm nightly-rental eligibility for the specific lot before writing an offer. The city-wide St. George vacation rentals page collects listings marketed for rental use, and the Pecan Valley Resort vs. Desert Color rental guide compares the two rental communities.

Schools

Desert Color is in the Washington County School District. Based on recent listings, most homes are assigned to Desert Canyons Elementary, Desert Hills Middle, and Desert Hills High. Assignments can differ by address and change as the district adds schools, so confirm the boundary for any specific home.

Location and Nearby

The community sits on the far south side of St. George, near the newer Desert Canyons area and a short drive from the St. George Regional Airport. I-15 runs along its edge, putting downtown St. George and the Arizona line both within easy reach.
