Brio

Brio is a 190-acre master-planned community in Washington, Utah, developed by Cole West Home and designed to ultimately grow to approximately 700 households. Originally planned as a 55+ community to compete with nearby Sunriver, the developer opened Brio to all ages before releasing homes — but the community retains its active-adult DNA, with single-level, low-maintenance home designs and a resort-caliber amenity package aimed squarely at semi-retired and retired buyers. The result is a neighborhood that skews heavily toward 55+ residents while still welcoming families, making it especially attractive to buyers who want an active-adult lifestyle without strict deed restrictions (meaning grandkids can actually use the pool). The centerpiece of the community is The Escape, a 14,500-square-foot clubhouse featuring a 1,500-sq-ft fitness center equipped with treadmills, bikes and weights, a yoga room, social gathering rooms, multipurpose activity rooms, a tech center, and an indoor pool. Outdoors, residents enjoy a second resort-style pool with tanning areas, eight pickleball courts, two full-sized tennis courts, walking and biking trails throughout the community, a playground, and a dog park. Brio backs directly up to the Green Spring Golf Course, a well-regarded and affordable public course, and sits adjacent to the 17-course Red Rock Golf Trail. Homes are built by Cole West Home and offered across two product lines: nine Estate Series floor plans (larger single-family homes on bigger lots, some up to half an acre, with plans like the Amethyst reaching 3,000+ sq ft) and four Enclave Series plans (smaller, more attainable footprints). Features commonly include vaulted ceilings, 8-ft doors, LVP flooring, and oversized primary showers. Pine Valley Mountain and red rock views are a signature of many lots. Brio was featured in the 2019 Southern Utah Parade of Homes and has been recognized by Retired Magazine among its top 50 communities in the US. A 204-unit luxury 62+ apartment component — Sky at Brio, also by Cole West — sits within the development, giving the overall Brio footprint a partial age-restricted element alongside the all-ages single-family neighborhoods. The HOA runs just $100/month (one of the lowest in any amenity-rich community in the region), covers common-area maintenance, amenities, management, and security, and notably allows RV parking on lots that can accommodate it — a meaningful differentiator versus Sunriver and other comparables. Brio sits just north of I-15 off West Buena Vista Boulevard between Exits 10 and 13, putting Costco, Home Depot, Best Buy, Walmart, grocery stores, and a deep stack of restaurants within a 5-minute drive. St. George is minutes south, and Zion National Park, Snow Canyon State Park, Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, and Sand Hollow are all within easy reach for the kind of outdoor lifestyle Southern Utah is known for.
