Thinking about moving to Southern Utah? Dusty breaks down his top 3 reasons why St. George is the place to be.

Whether you're new to the area or just looking for another reason to love it, here’s Dusty's personal reasons for calling Southern Utah home.

1. Nielsen’s Frozen Custard

If you know, you know. This isn’t just any dessert spot—it’s a St. George institution. From classic sundaes to their unbeatable concrete creations, Nielsen’s Frozen Custard is a must-visit (and possibly a weekly habit if you move here). Just off St. George Boulevard, it’s a sweet taste of hometown charm that locals and visitors both rave about.

2. 300+ Days of Sunshine a Year

No exaggeration—St. George gets over 300 sunny days every year. That means more time outside, fewer gloomy afternoons, and an all-around boost in energy and lifestyle. Whether you’re working, playing, or relaxing, the weather here makes it all better. Plus, winter? You’ll barely notice it.

3. World-Class Outdoor Recreation

St. George is an outdoor lover’s dream. Within minutes, you can be hiking in Zion National Park, exploring the red rock beauty of Snow Canyon State Park, or paddleboarding at Quail Creek Reservoir. Want more thrill? Head to Sand Hollow for boating, ATV rides across the Sand Hollow Dunes, or a day in the sun with family and friends.

No matter your pace—adventurer, explorer, or laid-back nature lover—there’s something here for you every single weekend.

Why Move to St. George?

Besides the frozen custard, unbeatable weather, and epic outdoor access? St. George offers a safe, growing community with top-rated schools, thriving local businesses, and a real estate market filled with potential—whether you’re looking to buy your first home or invest in your forever one.
