Students consistently praise the across-the-street proximity to campus, rock-bottom rent, and a genuinely social pool scene that brings people together.

  2. Cedar Flats
    5.0(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Cedar Flats stands out for delivering the kind of responsive, genuinely caring management that transforms the student housing experience. Connor and Desiree have earned serious loyalty by jumping on maintenance requests within the week and going the extra mile to solve resident problems whether that's finding someone a new apartment or simply listening when things get tough. The newly renovated units add real comfort to the mix. As one resident put it, "Desiree and Connor have made everything super easy and have worked with us on any and all problems that we have had." That level of hands-on support is rare and worth seeking out.

  3. Dixie South
    5.0(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Dixie South wins hearts through Nicole's exceptional management and a prime walkable location that puts campus just up the hill. Students who've lived here for years keep coming back because Nicole is genuinely responsive, thoughtful, and willing to go above and beyond tracking down missing packages, accommodating special requests, and making sure move-ins are smooth and clean. The consistency of praise across multiple years of residents speaks volumes. As one four-year resident reflected, "Nicole is truly top-notch always friendly, responsive, and consistently goes above and beyond to support residents." It's the kind of place where you feel actually cared for.

  4. Tech Dunes
    5.0(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Tech Dunes delivers a quiet, well-maintained living space with a genuinely invested management team that knows residents by name. The apartments feel new and spacious, maintenance issues get fixed quickly, and the small size of the complex (just six units) creates an intimate community feel that larger properties can't replicate. Students consistently highlight how Jason and the team show real care for each person living there, not just processing complaints. As one resident noted, "With the property only having 6 housing units it is comforting to have management know you by name." It's the kind of place where you're not just a lease number.

    29 min walk to Utah Tech$299/person/mo
  5. 4.4(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Dixie Red Sands earns its spot as an overall standout near Utah Tech by delivering solid, affordable student housing without cutting corners on the essentials. Residents consistently praise the generous storage throughout the units, the spacious kitchen with excellent counter space, and responsive management that actually listens to rooming requests and maintenance needs. The location is a quick walk to campus, and the two large bathrooms per unit give you breathing room that's rare at this price point. As one resident noted, "Management is pretty quick to help out, and the location is great being short convenient walk to campus." It's the kind of place that doesn't try to be fancy it just works.

  6. Vintage at Tabernacle
    4.2(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Vintage at Tabernacle stands out for its genuinely invested staff who go beyond the job description to make residents feel at home. The community itself is clean and well-maintained, with amenities like a pool and hot tub that actually get used, and the maintenance team especially Tim and Keith has earned serious loyalty from long-term residents who keep coming back year after year. The front office staff (Charlene, Nakoa, and Koa) consistently earn praise for being warm and genuinely helpful. As one four-year resident put it, "Keith and Tim are the greatest maintenance guys you will ever meet! They are a jack of all trades!" When your maintenance team is helping residents install car batteries, you know the culture here is different.

  7. 4.2(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Dixie Cove wins on location and room quality it's literally across the street from campus, so you're never more than a minute from class. The private rooms are genuinely spacious and come loaded with in-room amenities like a microwave, mini fridge, AC, and plenty of power outlets and lighting, which matters more than you'd think when you're studying late. The pool offers a real escape from St. George's heat, and the overall setup is straightforward and reliable for freshmen or anyone looking for a solid, no-nonsense living situation. As one freshman summed it up, "As a freshman entering college at UTU, this is the perfect place to live! The rooms have a ton of space, power outlets, and lighting fixtures."

    28 min walk to Utah Tech$850/person/mo
  8. 4.2(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: The Stay stands out for bringing dorm-upgrade amenities that actually matter: in-unit laundry, private bathrooms for each room, and smart locks that eliminate the code-sharing headache. Sitting right across the street from campus, it's an easy choice for students who want to step up from the dorms without sacrificing convenience, and the smaller roommate count (three instead of five) gives you real breathing room. The management team is genuinely nice and invested in making the experience good, and the pool provides a solid social hub. As one resident put it, "This place is really nice to stay at if you are a current student at Utah Tech. It's right across the street from the school."

  9. Campus View Suites II
    3.8(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Campus View Suites II delivers spacious layouts and privacy that stand out for overall living near Utah Tech, with floor-by-floor common areas that actually get used. Students rave about the kitchenettes and room configurations that work well for groups, plus the proximity to campus buildings makes daily life convenient. The views are genuinely nice, and as one resident noted, it's "a really nice view and great place to stay, plenty of room for 6 people or more." Just be prepared for shared kitchen and laundry realities on a busy floor.

  10. Campus View Suites I
    3.6(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Campus View Suites I looks polished on first glance and maintains clean common spaces and functional bathrooms that students appreciate. The building clearly got a design refresh, and residents have noted solid dorm conditions with reliable appliances. However, the gap between appearance and actual comfort is real as one student put it, "DSU has clearly spent a lot of time to make this building look appealing, but a closer inspection shows that there's not much else but looks." Temperature control and wifi reliability remain ongoing frustrations.

    27 min walk to Utah Tech
  11. 3.4(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: 605 Place earns its ranking on the strength of a genuinely responsive management team that students and parents trust to actually solve problems. Grace, Annika, and Logan consistently get called out for being helpful, professional, and genuinely invested in residents' experience. As one parent shared, "Grace, Annika and the rest of the team were awesome! Had a whole bunch of stuff to figure out with timeline and getting the lease worked out and they were able to follow up nonstop to get things figured out for me." That said, move-out fees and deposit returns can be contentious, so read the fine print carefully.

    20 min walk to Utah Tech$459/person/mo
  12. 3.4(5 reviews)FMP Score

    why it ranked: Red Rock Ridge stands out for overall living because the management team particularly Brayden and Elaine genuinely cares about resident satisfaction and creates a community feel with regular events and giveaways. Long-term residents praise the friendly atmosphere, reasonable pricing, and clean apartments that make staying here feel like home. One satisfied resident put it simply: "I've been nothing but pleased with Red Rock Apartments for my son. Brayden and Elaine have both been incredibly helpful, courteous, and professional." Just know that the laundry setup requires a trek for some units.

How We Ranked These Apartments

1

Ranked by the FMP Score

FMP Score, high to low. That’s the whole ranking. It’s our overall measure of a property, combining verified review scores with signals reviews miss, like how current the listing is kept and how responsive management is. Ties go to the property with more verified reviews.

2

Who Makes the List

Every property near Utah Tech can appear, but it takes a minimum number of verified reviews before we score and rank it. Properties under that bar sit below every ranked property and move up automatically as reviews come in.

3

How We Calculate the FMP Score

The FMP Score blends the social, management, and quality scores from verified reviews with signals that a place is actively and well run, like how up to date its listing is kept and how consistently management responds to residents. It’s built to surface genuinely well-run properties, not just the highest raw review average.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best overall student apartment near Utah Tech?

Vintage at Canyonlands leads our September 2026 ranking of the 12 Best Overall student apartments near Utah Tech with a 2.3/5 FMP Score, followed by Cedar Flats and Dixie South.

How is this ranking calculated?

This list is ranked by one number: each property's overall score from verified reviews. Students rate a property's overall 1 to 5, and we average those scores, counting recent reviews more heavily than older ones. No self-reported data from landlords.

What makes an apartment the best overall?

The best overall apartments score highly across everything students rate (social scene, management, and unit quality), not just one. This ranking uses each property's overall rating from verified reviews.

How often is this ranking updated?

Monthly. We re-pull verified reviews and re-score every property at the start of each month, so the order reflects the most recent 24 months of student feedback. The “updated” date at the top of the page shows the latest refresh.

How many reviews does a property need to be included?

There's a minimum number of verified reviews to rank by score, and we don't publish the exact bar so it can't be gamed. Properties under it still appear, below every qualified property and ordered by review count, so a 5.0 from one review never outranks a 4.5 from thirty. Once a property collects enough reviews, it moves into the scored ranking automatically.

Is this ranking independent, or can properties pay to rank higher?

It's fully independent. There's no pay-to-rank. Position is set by verified reviews alone. Property managers can't buy placement, remove reviews, or influence the score.
