Tucked below Snow Canyon State Park, Ivins is a quieter, art-and-outdoors-oriented community with one of the highest median ages in the region — a favorite for retirees and second-home buyers.
U.S. Census Bureau estimate; up from 9,079 at the 2020 census. Household income and poverty figures from U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.
Tourism and hospitality drive much of Ivins' economy, centered on Kayenta Art Village, the Tuacahn Amphitheatre, and Red Mountain Resort. The city also has a strong second-home and active-adult retirement market.
Ivins sits right against Snow Canyon State Park's red and white sandstone cliffs, with an artsy, laid-back character built around Kayenta's galleries and the Tuacahn outdoor theater. It's popular with retirees, artists, and anyone wanting quiet with red rock views out the back door.

Designed by Tom Weiskopf, Black Desert Resort winds through ancient lava fields and vermillion cliffs and was ranked the #1 course in Utah by Golfweek. It hosted the PGA TOUR's Black Desert Championship and the LPGA's Black Desert Championship, the first PGA Tour event held in Utah in 60 years.
This outdoor amphitheater, set beneath 1,500-foot red rock cliffs, stages Broadway-caliber musicals each season and is one of Southern Utah's signature cultural attractions.
A few miles from Tuacahn, Kayenta's art village is filled with galleries, studios, and a theater, and is a hub for Ivins' artsy, laid-back character.
Ivins sits right against Snow Canyon's red and white Navajo sandstone cliffs and lava tubes, with miles of scenic, less-crowded trails.
