I've been fortune enough to have lived there on two separate occasions. It is, in my opinion, heaven on earth. If you decide to move there, check out the town of Ivins. The people are really nice, but the town closes down on Sundays because of the large Mormon population. They're good people, though. I have nothing bad to say about that. The weather is nice, the scenery is spectacular, and the riding is also really good. There are two main pools- that are open year round, and you are 1 1/2 hours outside of Vegas if you get the itch to go. Also, there is an active tri scene, and a couple of really good cycling shops, and if you're into golf, about eight different courses. I wish we could move back, but unless you own a business, are retired, or in the education field, it is kind of difficult to make a living there. If I were you, I'd jump at the chance.

Thank u...we arrive there on the 28th to check it out

Why St George? I love southern Utah, but not year round. St George is hotter than hades in summer. Not that warm in winter either. And not that cheap.

Outside of the S CA coast, the most moderate year-round climate is in the SW mountain areas.

For instance, this is St George:


And this is Bisbee, AZ:

Yup. Don't live there, but have the place to "visit often". Great golf, great asphalt, and an all around nice place to live. But as some have mentioned: it gets HOT in summer down this way. Been down in July...and there was barely enough beer to keep me pushing through my round of golf (and you had to finish it by the time you made the green or it was warm).

No clue the tri scene, but will be making St.George on my list of 70.3s to do since its close by.
