No HOA Homes for Sale in Brookside, Utah

Brookside is a small unincorporated community in Washington County tucked along SR-18 between Veyo and Central, about 25 miles north of St. George. The area sits at roughly 4,800 feet, which means cooler summers than the St. George basin and the occasional dusting of snow in winter — a different climate story than what most Southern Utah shoppers expect. Properties here tend to be larger parcels, older ranch-style homes, and the occasional custom build on acreage, and a lot of them were platted long before HOAs became standard practice in Utah subdivisions. That makes Brookside one of the more realistic places in Washington County to actually find a no-HOA home without driving an hour into the backcountry.

No-HOA buyers in Brookside are usually after the same handful of things: room to park an RV or boat without asking permission, the ability to keep chickens, horses, or a couple of goats, and freedom to run a workshop or detached garage on the property. Water rights, septic systems, and well shares come into play here more than they would inside St. George city limits, so financing and inspections look a little different. Lot sizes commonly run from half an acre up past five acres, and county zoning — not a board of directors — sets the rules.

Common questions

About no hoa homes in Brookside.

Are most Brookside homes really HOA-free?

A solid majority are, yes. Brookside predates the master-planned subdivision wave that swept through the St. George area in the 1990s and 2000s, so most parcels answer only to Washington County zoning rather than a homeowners association. The nearby Dammeron Valley community does have an HOA, so check the listing carefully if the property sits closer to that boundary.

What can I do on a no-HOA property in Brookside that I couldn't do in St. George?

Generally: park RVs, trailers, and work trucks in plain view; build detached shops or barns; keep horses, chickens, or small livestock subject to county ag rules; and skip the architectural review process for paint colors, roofing, and landscaping. You're still bound by Washington County setbacks, septic permits, and any recorded deed restrictions on the parcel itself.

Do no-HOA homes in Brookside come with water rights or a well?

It varies parcel by parcel. Some homes are on private wells, some share a community well system, and a few have culinary water through a small local provider. Irrigation water rights are a separate question and don't always transfer automatically — always ask the listing agent for a water rights summary before writing an offer.

How does the price compare to no-HOA homes in St. George?

Brookside typically delivers more land for the money than equivalent St. George properties, though the home itself may be older or more rural in finish. Acreage parcels with a livable home commonly run in the mid-$500s to low $800s depending on size, well situation, and outbuildings, while bare-bones smaller lots can come in lower.

Is financing harder on a no-HOA rural property here?

It can be. Conventional and USDA loans both work in Brookside, but lenders will scrutinize the septic, well, and any shared road agreements. Homes on more than five acres, or with significant outbuilding value, sometimes need a lender comfortable with rural appraisals — worth lining up pre-approval with someone who has closed loans in Washington County's unincorporated areas.

What's the commute like to St. George or Cedar City?

St. George is roughly 30 to 35 minutes south down SR-18, and Cedar City is about an hour north via Enterprise. Snow on SR-18 in winter is rare but does happen a few days each year, so factor that in if you're commuting daily. The trade-off is summer temperatures that run 10 to 15 degrees cooler than St. George.
