Investment Properties for Sale in Bloomington, Utah
Bloomington is a master-planned community tucked into the southwest corner of St. George, just minutes from the Nevada border and roughly 300 miles south of Salt Lake City. The neighborhood sits at about 2,700 feet elevation, which means St. George's signature 300-plus days of sunshine per year and mild winters that rarely dip below freezing — a climate that keeps short-term rental demand strong virtually year-round. Golfers come for the Bloomington Country Club course, hikers come for proximity to Zion National Park (45 minutes away) and Snow Canyon State Park (20 minutes), and retirees come because the lifestyle is low-maintenance and the weather cooperates. That consistent foot traffic from tourists and seasonal residents is exactly what makes investment properties here worth a close look.
On the numbers side, St. George's Washington County has been one of the fastest-growing metros in the country for the past decade, and Bloomington has captured its share of that appreciation. Single-family homes and townhomes in the area have historically held value well, and the city's short-term rental market — fueled by Airbnb and VRBO activity tied to Zion and the broader Dixie region — gives investors a second income strategy beyond traditional long-term tenants. Median home prices in the St. George market have hovered in the $450,000–$550,000 range in recent years, though entry-level condos and townhomes can come in lower. City of St. George STR licensing requirements apply, so due diligence on rental permits is part of any smart purchase here. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About investment properties in Bloomington.
Does Bloomington allow short-term rentals like Airbnb or VRBO? ▾
St. George, which governs most of Bloomington, requires a business license and a short-term rental permit for any property rented for fewer than 30 consecutive days. HOA rules in specific Bloomington subdivisions can add an additional layer of restrictions, so it's critical to verify both city and HOA rules before closing. A local agent who works the area regularly can pull the HOA CC&Rs and confirm current city licensing requirements for any specific address.
What types of investment properties are most common in Bloomington? ▾
The inventory tends to run toward single-family detached homes, townhomes, and patio-style homes that appeal to the retiree and second-home buyer profile. True multifamily duplex or fourplex product is rare inside Bloomington's master-planned footprint — investors looking for that asset class usually search slightly north in central St. George or in Washington City. That said, single-family short-term rentals with private pools or putting greens command strong nightly rates given the golf and outdoor recreation draw.
What kind of gross rental yields should I realistically expect? ▾
Short-term rental properties near Zion and in the St. George metro have historically generated gross yields in the 6–10% range depending on property size, amenities, and how actively they're managed. A three-bedroom home with a private pool in a STR-friendly zone can pull $200–$350 per night during peak spring and fall seasons when Zion visitation peaks. Winter softens somewhat but rarely goes quiet the way mountain ski towns do, given the mild temperatures. These are estimates — actual performance depends on management, listing quality, and specific location within Bloomington.
Are there HOAs in Bloomington, and how do they affect investment plans? ▾
Most of Bloomington is governed by one or more HOAs, which is standard for master-planned communities in Southern Utah. HOA fees typically range from roughly $50–$200 per month depending on the subdivision and amenities included. Some HOAs explicitly prohibit short-term rentals or require owner-occupancy for a period before renting, which directly impacts an investment strategy. Always review the full CC&Rs — not just a summary — before committing to a purchase if STR income is the goal.
How does Bloomington's investment market compare to other St. George neighborhoods? ▾
Bloomington tends to attract a more established, lower-density buyer than areas like Entrada or Desert Color, and property prices often reflect that. Investors who prioritize long-term appreciation and quality of tenant or guest often prefer Bloomington's mature tree canopy, golf course setting, and proximity to I-15. Areas like Desert Color on the south end of St. George offer newer construction with resort amenities but at higher price points. Bloomington sits in the middle — established enough to carry strong resale value, accessible enough to still find deals.
What due diligence steps matter most when buying an investment property in Bloomington? ▾
Start with the HOA documents — CC&Rs, financials, and meeting minutes — to catch any pending special assessments or rental restrictions. Confirm the property's STR permit eligibility directly with St. George City, since zoning overlays can affect individual parcels even within otherwise rental-friendly areas. A sewer lateral inspection is worth adding to a standard home inspection in older Bloomington sections, and buyers financing through conventional loans should confirm the lender's second-home or investment property guidelines, since those loan products carry different down payment and rate requirements than primary residence loans.
