About Central
Tucked into the foothills of the Pine Valley Mountains along Highway 18, Central offers a quiet rural lifestyle about thirty minutes north of St. George. Its higher elevation brings cooler summer temperatures than the lower desert, along with quick access to the pine forests and trails of Dixie National Forest. The community is widely known as the starting point for the annual St. George Marathon, drawing runners from around the world each fall. For anyone looking to relocate, Central provides plenty of open space, scenic mountain views, and a relaxed, small-town atmosphere.
