A Cedar City community
Living in Cimarron Heights.
A small west-side subdivision off Highway 56, where Cimarron Circle and Kingsbury Drive sit on gently elevated ground looking back across the valley. Finished homes share the streets with a few buildable lots, so the map matters more than any single median here.

Life on the west side
Small subdivision, big difference from street to street.
Cimarron Heights is the kind of Cedar City subdivision where the map matters more than the name. It sits on the west side, reached off Highway 56 in the 3200 to 3300 West corridor, with Cimarron Circle and Kingsbury Drive carrying most of the addresses on ground that rises just enough to open up a look back across the valley.
That gives it a different feel than the older downtown core, the northeast bench neighborhoods, or the newer master-planned subdivisions further out Highway 56 toward Iron West. Up here you are working with a small, established street pattern, open valley sightlines on parts of the block, and a route built around Highway 56 rather than the freeway.
Because it is small, one or two listings can make the whole place look more expensive, cheaper, more land-heavy, or more built-out than it really is. Pull the live feed, then separate the lots from the houses before you draw any conclusions. That one habit will save you from a lot of bad math here.
Neighborhood highlights
The west-side details that actually matter.
Off Highway 56
The subdivision sits in the 3200 to 3300 West corridor along Highway 56, on Cedar City's west side. It is a tucked-away pocket built around Cimarron Circle and Kingsbury Drive, not a through-street.
Gently elevated lots
Several lots sit on modestly sloped or elevated ground, which opens up valley sightlines on parts of the block but also raises grading and driveway questions worth asking early.
Homes plus buildable lots
Finished single-family homes share the streets with a handful of buildable lots, so read the active feed by property type before you let any price signal stand.
Fast Highway 56 access
Highway 56 is right there, which is what makes the west side work for commuting, airport runs, and reaching I-15 at Exit 59 (SR-56/200 North).
Three Peaks a short drive out
This is not a trailhead subdivision, but heading further west on Highway 56 and north on Lund Highway puts you at the Three Peaks Recreation Area in about 20 minutes.
Comp it street by street
One custom home can drag the average around in a subdivision this small. Lean on address-level comps and recent west-side sales instead of any citywide or subdivision median.
Homes & lots
Two product types, one small subdivision.
Cimarron Heights is a small west-side subdivision, and that size is the whole story. It holds finished single-family homes alongside a handful of buildable lots, and those two products belong in completely different buckets. A median that blends them tells you nothing.
Recorded lots here have generally run from just under half an acre to about two-thirds of an acre, sized to the block rather than a fixed grid. The finished homes sit well above raw land in price, which is exactly why you sort by type first. Recent finished-home sales have generally started in the high $500,000s, with new construction pushing higher, and bare lots have traded for a fraction of that; treat both as a starting point and confirm against the live MLS.
For a buyer, the sharpest comparison is not just other Cimarron Heights listings. It is nearby west-side property with a similar lot size, slope, and finish level. If a particular street or buildable lot matters to you, tell me early and I will line up the right comps.
In a subdivision this small, one custom home and one bare lot can sit two doors apart and mean completely different things for value.
One lot-picking tip from twenty years of Iron County winters: pay attention to slope and which way the driveway faces. South-facing concrete clears itself between storms, while a shaded pitch holds ice longer. On a gently graded west-side lot, that is worth knowing before you fall in love with a floor plan.
Trails & outdoors
Not a trailhead block, but close to the real thing.
Cimarron Heights is not a walk-out-your-door trail subdivision, but the west side puts you within a short drive of Cedar City's paved in-town trail and a genuine BLM trail system further out Highway 56. Here is the honest tiering, from a short drive to a day trip.
Coal Creek Trail (easy)
The paved Coal Creek Trail follows the creek across town, a short drive in from the west side. It is the flattest, easiest option for a walk or a bike ride without leaving pavement.
Three Peaks Recreation Area (BLM), ~20 min
Continue west on Highway 56, then north on Lund Highway, and Three Peaks opens up more than 25 miles of mountain-bike singletrack, OHV trails, and granite bouldering on the desert floor. It is the nearest named trail system to this side of town.
Iron Hills Trail System and the "C"
Across town on the south bench, the Iron Hills system and the climb to the white "C" add dirt singletrack once you are willing to cross to the other side of Cedar City.
Cedar Breaks and Brian Head, seasonal day trip
Farther out, State Route 14 and the Parowan route into Brian Head open the high country for the season. Both are a genuine drive from the west side, not a quick errand.
Trail details come from the Bureau of Land Management's Three Peaks and Iron Hills pages and Cedar City's trail resources. The wider outdoor picture is in the Cedar City guide.
Errands & drive times
The drive map starts with Highway 56.
This is the practical answer to "how far is everything from out there." Times are measured from near Cimarron Circle and are approximate; confirm door-to-door for the exact address and time of day you will actually drive.
| The errand | Where it happens | From the subdivision |
|---|---|---|
| Get on the main route | Highway 56, the west-side spine | ~2 min |
| Get on I-15 | I-15 Exit 59, via SR-56/200 North | ~6 min |
| Grocery run | Lin's Fresh Market, 150 N Main Street | ~9 min |
| Second grocery option | Smith's Food & Drug, 633 S Main Street | ~9 min |
| Flights | Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC) | ~10 min |
| Big-box and shopping | Providence Center, south interchange | ~13 min |
| Campus and games | Southern Utah University | ~10 min |
| Dinner downtown | Historic Main Street | ~9 min |
| Healthcare | Cedar City Hospital, 1303 N Main Street | ~11 min |
| Mountain biking and OHV | Three Peaks Recreation Area (BLM) | ~20 min |
Farther out, the west side puts the highway under you fast: the Kolob Canyons gate of Zion is about 25 minutes south on I-15, Brian Head's ski runs are roughly 35 to 40 minutes via Parowan, and St. George is about an hour. The full day-trip map lives in the Cedar City guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Cimarron Heights is part of the Iron County School District. This side of Cedar City generally falls in the Iron Springs Elementary (grades K-6) area, which feeds into Canyon View Middle School and Canyon View High School on the north end of town. The district is redrawing elementary boundaries for the 2026-27 school year and middle and high school boundaries for 2027-28, so treat any specific assignment as a starting point, not a guarantee.
Confirm the current assignment for any home you are serious about directly with the district by address. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself. Southern Utah University sits about ten minutes across town.
I cover the bigger education picture, including SUU, in the Cedar City guide.
What to check first
Before you commit to a small plat.
A subdivision this size rewards a buyer who does a little extra homework before they fall for one address. With only a couple dozen parcels total, the mix of finished homes and open lots on Cimarron Circle and Kingsbury Drive means each listing has to be read on its own terms rather than against a neighborhood average.
On a gently elevated lot, how the ground drains and how much grading a build needs can shift the real cost, especially on the parcels with the most slope. Whether you are buying a finished home or a piece of dirt to build on, walk it and read the recorded plat before you commit.
Any building rules, easements, or shared maintenance run through the recorded subdivision documents rather than anything posted on a listing page. Read them so you understand upkeep and buildable envelope before you sign.
What I check before I call a lot ready to build on
- Slope, grading, and where water actually goes when it comes off the parcel.
- The recorded lot size, setbacks, and buildable envelope against the plat, not the listing rounding.
- Whether power, water, sewer, and gas are stubbed to the property or still a cost you carry.
- The recorded subdivision documents for any easements or shared-maintenance obligations before you sign.
What locals know
Notes from the west-side streets.
No listing photo tells you this part. After more than 20 years in Southern Utah, here is what I would tell a friend looking up here.
-
Slope changes the math. A gently elevated lot can be a real upgrade, but grading, driveway pitch, and drainage belong in the first conversation, not the last.
-
Sort homes from lots. Finished houses and buildable lots price on different planets here. Read the active feed by property type so one of them does not skew your whole read.
-
Highway 56 is the spine. The errand map starts with Highway 56, not the south interchange, and I-15 Exit 59 (SR-56/200 North) is the on-ramp this side of town actually uses. Test the actual route you will use most, at the time of day you will drive it.
-
Comp it on the west side. The better comparison is usually another nearby west-side lot or finished home, not a citywide Cedar City number.

Buying in Cimarron Heights
Cimarron Heights sits on the west side of Cedar City, reached off Highway 56 in the 3200 to 3300 West corridor. Cimarron Circle and Kingsbury Drive run through the subdivision on gently elevated ground that opens up west-side valley views.
It is a small west-side subdivision that mixes finished single-family homes with a handful of buildable lots, so on any given week you might see houses, dirt, or both. Sort the homes from the lots before you compare anything.
Recorded lots here have generally run from just under half an acre to about two-thirds of an acre. Always confirm the exact recorded size, slope, setbacks, and utility status for a specific parcel against the plat before you make an offer.
Because it is small and mixes homes with lots, the range is wide, roughly from the high $500,000s for finished homes down to well under $100,000 for a bare buildable lot. Treat that as a starting point and confirm against the live MLS.

Selling in Cimarron Heights
On the west side, value moves with lot usability, slope, finish level, garage and storage, and the nearest recent comparable sales. Start with the home valuation page and I will run a real comparison, no obligation.
List with me and your home or lot is featured across MovingUtah, on this page, on the Cedar City hub, and in the listings buyers browse on this site. The get featured page walks through exactly how that works.
In a subdivision this small, a single well-priced home or lot stands out when little else is listed nearby. The pricing still has to be grounded in real west-side comps. Tell me your timeline and I will give you a straight read, not a pitch.
Yes, and it is common here. Timing the two is mostly a sequencing problem, and I cover the playbook in the buy and sell at once guide. Because I am dual-licensed, I can keep the sale, the search, and the financing on one desk.
