A tiny, remote community along the Santa Clara River in the shadow of the Pine Valley Mountains, Brookside is about as quiet as Southern Utah real estate gets.
Brookside is an unincorporated community in Washington County, near the town of Veyo, with an estimated population of roughly 480 residents. It was founded in 1902 by Thomas Alfred Jeffery as a travelers' rest stop, and the Baker Reservoir recreation area was built within its limits in 1953 and developed further in the 1980s.
As a small, remote community, Brookside doesn't have its own stores — residents drive down to St. George for everyday needs. The Santa Clara River runs directly through town, lined with cottonwood trees, with views of the Pine Valley Mountains that give the area its nature-retreat character.
Because Brookside is a very small, unincorporated community, the U.S. Census Bureau does not separately publish detailed income, poverty, or race/ethnicity estimates for it the way it does for Washington County's incorporated cities. We've shared what's verifiable below rather than estimate figures we can't confirm.
As a small rural community, Brookside doesn't have a dedicated school. Students are part of Washington County School District and bus to schools in the St. George area — contact the district directly for current boundaries and bus routes.
Brookside has no golf course of its own; the nearest options are in St. George, roughly 25–30 minutes away.

Brookside sits in the shadow of this range, part of the Dixie National Forest, a short drive from hiking and camping.
Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious what your home is worth, I'd love to help you navigate Brookside and the rest of Southern Utah's red rock country.
