Cimarron Hills: East of Colorado Springs
Cimarron Hills is a census-designated place in El Paso County with a population of about 16,161, located immediately east of Colorado Springs. The community occupies a stretch of rolling terrain along US-24 and Peterson Road, and its residents rely on Colorado Springs for most commercial services, healthcare, and entertainment. As an unincorporated CDP, Cimarron Hills has no municipal government and falls under El Paso County for administrative and law enforcement purposes.
The area developed primarily as affordable housing for military families and civilian workers tied to the cluster of military installations in El Paso County. Peterson Space Force Base and Schriever Space Force Base are both within commuting distance, as is Fort Carson to the south. This defense sector presence keeps the local housing market active even during broader economic slowdowns.
Residential streets in Cimarron Hills are lined with ranch-style and split-level homes dating mostly from the 1970s and 1980s. School District 49, which serves much of eastern El Paso County, operates the local public schools. Retail and dining options are concentrated along the Powers Boulevard corridor to the west and the US-24 commercial strip.
