Gas prices have eased a little, paving the way for you “I-want-to-explore-small-town-America” types to indulge your inner vagabond.
Today, I take you to St. George, Utah, a cute Western town just an hour from Zion National Park. Now this one-bedroom vacation condo isn’t a luxury retreat, but the basics are all covered, from a flatscreen TV to a full-size washer and dryer and kitchen. There’s no sticker shock either. The condo costs just $92 a night if you stay before Oct. 25.
I chose St. George because according to this Associated Press article, it’s been getting a lot of interest lately as a market for vacation homes. And no kidding:
- It’s close to seven golf courses.
- Mesquite Nevada casinos are only 30 minutes away.
- Bryce Canyon National Park, with its majestic red rock spires and vast amphitheaters, is two hours by car.
Existing property listers, maybe this is the next place to invest?
