Cimarron Hills is an unincorporated community in El Paso County on the east side of Colorado Springs. Its housing is mostly single-family homes and townhomes, and its location near Peterson Space Force Base and the Colorado Springs Airport brings steady demand from military renters.
What renters look for here
Many Cimarron Hills renters are military families on two- to three-year assignments who want a short commute to Peterson Space Force Base. Others work near the airport or along the east side. They tend to look for move-in-ready homes, fenced yards, and pet-friendly policies, and military renters often arrive on tight timelines.
What owners should know
- Plan for military turnover. Tenants can end a lease early under the SCRA (Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) if they receive PCS orders. We plan for this with lease terms and by marketing quickly when orders come.
- PCS season is your peak. Demand rises in late spring and summer, when most military moves happen. Having your home ready then shortens vacancies.
- Price against real comparables. Single-family homes and townhomes compete with different listings. We price from current comparable rentals in the area, not guesses.
- Unincorporated means county rules. Cimarron Hills is outside Colorado Springs city limits, so El Paso County, not the city, handles things like zoning and code questions. We keep that in mind when handling permits and repairs.
- Be thoughtful about pets. Many military families have pets. A clear pet policy with appropriate pet rent can widen your pool, if screening and inspections are done well.
- Documentation protects your deposit decisions. Frequent turnover means more move-in and move-out inspections. Under Colorado's new deposit law, detailed photo and video records matter more than ever.
