Enoch Least Favorites
What’s your least favorite thing about living in Enoch?
- No one obeys leash laws and there are dogs running all over. The plethora of un-neutered/spayed cats that poop and pee all over everyone’s yards with no way of enforcing anything. If you say anything, you are the bad guy. All the underage children riding ATVs and dirt bikes – not street legal and they are often speeding – with regular cars and trucks on the road. The ‘outsider’ mentality locals have for anyone that disagrees and happens to be out of town is SUCH a turn-off. Toddlers/Preschoolers riding PowerWheels in the street with no adults anywhere in sight. School-age children crawling all over the place or coming onto your property without asking…again…no adults anywhere. It’s lovely. (Ann, 2 years)
- The lack of store/businesses. (Sean, 2 years)
- The amount of trashy property. (Christine, 3 years)
- How people let their dogs run. (Lindsey, 3 years)
- No sidewalks. (Mary, 6 years)
- Local government. (Mary, 11 years)
- The yards and areas aren’t as well kept up. (Brooklyn, 19 years)
- Homes here for years – not even some yard put in . causes sone areas to look very poor. Seems we have had a history of people around us being in/and out of jail. (Trina, 20 years)
- Grumpy butts. (Jade, 21 years)
- No grocery store or gas station. (Shirley, 21 years)
- No big stores or restaurants. (Siera, 22 years)
- Lack of a gym, supermarket, condition of roads. (Sally, 24 years)
- Drama, could do without. (Robert, 30+ years)

Enoch Advice
Any advice for people moving to Enoch?
- I wouldn’t move here again unless I had a garage, full fence, preferably a bigger property (I thought 1/2 acre was big enough, but it turns out it isn’t when no one cares where their children are). (Ann, 2 years)
- It’s a love/hate relationship with the distance to Cedar. (Sean, 2 years)
- Don’t complain about animals. If you don’t like farm animal noises, don’t move here. (Mary, 6 years)
- If you are looking for a quiet friendly place to live, don’t come here. It used to be quiet but is turning into a bigger more crowded area overtaken by the local religion. If you aren’t one of them you will have no friends and neither will your children. (Mary, 11 years)
- Keep up your yard. (Brooklyn, 19 years)
- Give yourself plenty of extra time to get to Cedar. (Jade, 21 years)
- Please keep your dog restrained, aka in your own yard, not running loose through the neighborhood. (Shirley, 21 years)
- Get to know our neighbors. Enoch is full of great people. (Siera, 22 years)
- Be active in the Mormon church. (Sally, 24 years)
- Good place to raise kids. (Robert, 30+ years)
Enoch Stories
Share an experience you’ve had in Enoch (fun, crazy, dangerous, etc.).
- We tried to walk to the 4th of July parade our first summer here and got to see the whole thing in the less-than five minutes it took us to walk over. By the time we got to where all the ‘floats’ and entries were walking by, it was over. We thought that was pretty funny, actually. (Ann, 2 years)
- 4th of July parties. (Mary, 6 years)
- My children were shunned in school and told straight up by other kids that they were only allowed to play with others in their “ward” even though we lived only a few houses away and, geographically, were in their “ward”. Local government will override what the local residents want because they have stars in their eyes and want to turn this into a different place. They can’t take care of things as they are yet they want growth. (Mary, 11 years)
- I was able to walk to my dance studio a few times a week for 8 years, it was so great and so close knit out there! (Brooklyn, 19 years)
- 4th of July watermelon eating contest. (Jade, 21 years)
- I loved on the 4th of July when they’d have the celebration at the old Enoch park and there was fireworks and mud mania! (Siera, 22 years)
- HA’s fake zumba class at the Three Peaks church — so fun! (Sally, 24 years)
- Fireworks years ago. (Robert, 30+ years)
Enoch’s Future
How do you think Enoch will change over the next 10 years?
- Hopefully there will be a real drainage system in place and no more ditches. Better enforcement of leash laws and laws for animals(and unwatched children) in general would be nice. Hopefully Lins or someplace builds a store nearby. It is really unfortunate that we all have to leave town to shop or get gas or really…do anything. It is a community of people who want things to remain the same but that is, unfortunately, not good for growth or how it works. Construction is busy building people new homes. There is no avoiding this. (Ann, 2 years)
- Hopefully gain more businesses. (Sean, 2 years)
- I am hoping it will develop a little more into a town. (Lindsey, 3 years)
- Bigger, more stores. (Mary, 6 years)
- I think it will have apartments, condos and businesses. Of course, they will have all of that and still a 2 lane road for everyone to travel on. (Mary, 11 years)
- I think there could be more growth of people moving out there! Also Cedar City will probably grow so the two towns will kind of just mix together! (Brooklyn, 19 years)
- Hopefully more development, and hopefully some more businesses will come in. (Jade, 21 years)
- Hopefully some new businesses to broaden the tax base, and make it easier on locals to pick up essentials in a pinch. (Shirley, 21 years)
- Hopefully there will be a couple more stores or restaurants but the subdivisions will grow for sure. (Siera, 22 years)
- More businesses. (Sally, 24 years)
- Bring jobs to the area. (Robert, 30+ years)
