A Hurricane community
Living in Cimarron Terrace.
A compact single-family subdivision on the west side of Hurricane, built out in the early-to-mid 2000s, with the State Street corridor putting groceries, hardware, and two reservoirs within a short drive. Sand Hollow and Quail Creek are both close, and Zion is about twenty-five minutes east on SR-9.

Life in the neighborhood
What a day here feels like.
Morning in Cimarron Terrace is quiet. This is a west-side Hurricane subdivision built out in the early-to-mid 2000s, so the streets are settled and the trees have had a couple of decades to fill in. State Street runs a straight shot to grocery stores, hardware, and the Hurricane Recreation Center, so the first errand of the day is a five-minute drive, not a twenty-minute expedition. If you are headed to the water, Sand Hollow and Quail Creek are both a short drive out and reachable without crossing the center of town.
Midday, the neighborhood feels residential and low-traffic. The lots here are compact and the homes are modest single-family builds, so the streets read as tidy and close-knit rather than sprawling. There is a small neighborhood park at the top of the subdivision, and Pine Valley Mountain sits on the skyline to the northwest.
Evening settles in early. Pine Valley Mountain holds the last light, the park empties out, and the subdivision drops into a quiet that is hard to find in the newer, denser builds on the edge of town.
Trails & water
World-class singletrack and two reservoirs.
Hurricane Rim Trail
A classic Southern Utah loop with views of the Virgin River gorge and the cliffs. The trailhead is roughly ten minutes from Cimarron Terrace, and the full loop is about 16 miles of singletrack shared by bikes, hikers, and trail runners.
JEM Trail
One of the most celebrated mountain bike trails in Utah. Fast, flowy singletrack above the Virgin River, about 12 minutes from the subdivision. The JEM connects to the Gould's Rim and Hurricane Rim systems for a full day of riding.
Sand Hollow Reservoir
About 12 minutes from the subdivision. Boating, fishing, swimming, and red sand beaches. The Sand Hollow State Park entrance fee applies, and summer weekends fill the parking lot early.
Quail Creek Reservoir
Closer than Sand Hollow, about 8 minutes from the subdivision. A quieter reservoir popular for paddling, fishing, and swimming. Quail Creek State Park manages the access and the day-use areas.
Gooseberry Mesa
Technical slickrock riding with canyon-edge views, about 20 minutes from the subdivision. A destination trail that draws riders from out of state. The access road is graded dirt, passable in a standard vehicle when dry.
Golf nearby
Sky Mountain Golf Course sits about 5 minutes east on SR-9, a public 18-hole course with views across the Virgin River valley. Copper Rock, the newer championship course, is about 8 minutes south.
Trail conditions change with the seasons. The full outdoor picture for Hurricane, including the Hurricane Cliffs and the wider trail network, is in the Hurricane guide.
Homes & lots
Modest homes, compact lots.
Cimarron Terrace was built out in the early-to-mid 2000s, so it reads as a settled, in-town subdivision rather than a raw new-construction corridor. The home stock is mostly modest single-family homes, a lot of them one-level living, in the roughly 1,200 to 1,600 square foot range, with a mix of layouts from one street to the next. The lots here run compact, smaller than the half-acre parcels you find on the edges of town, which keeps yards manageable and the streets close-knit.
The subdivision sits on the west side of Hurricane off the State Street corridor, close enough for a quick errand run but far enough off the main road that traffic noise is not a daily presence. There is a small neighborhood park at the top of the subdivision, and many homes catch a view of Pine Valley Mountain to the northwest. Because these are early-2000s builds, there is variety from one home to the next: some are close to original, others have been updated or had a bedroom or living space finished out over the years.
On a compact lot, you are buying the street as much as the house. Drive it at different times of day before you commit.
One thing to know about this part of Hurricane: soils here run sandy and alkaline, and the growing season is hot and dry. If the landscaping matters to you, check the irrigation setup. A drip system with good coverage is worth more here than a lush lawn that fights the soil chemistry every August.
Errands & drive times
Everything you need, measured in minutes.
This is the practical answer to "how far is everything from Cimarron Terrace." The short version: most daily errands land within about a six-minute drive along the State Street corridor.
| The errand | Where it happens | From the subdivision |
|---|---|---|
| Full grocery run | Lin's Marketplace, State Street | ~5 min |
| Second grocery option | Davis Food & Drug, State Street | ~5 min |
| Big-box and shopping | Walmart Supercenter, State Street | ~7 min |
| Hardware | Ace Hardware, State Street | ~5 min |
| Fuel | State Street stations | ~4 min |
| Golf | Sky Mountain Golf Course | ~5 min |
| Rec center | Hurricane Recreation Center | ~6 min |
| Nearest ER | St. George Regional Hospital Hurricane Campus, 75 N 2260 West | ~7 min |
| Zion National Park | South entrance, SR-9 | ~25 min |
Farther out: St. George is about 25 minutes west on SR-9 and I-15, with the larger medical facilities, the regional airport (SGU), and the full retail corridor. Cedar City is roughly 45 minutes north. The day-trip map is in the Hurricane guide.
Schools & education
Schools, by the facts.
Cimarron Terrace is served by the Washington County School District. On this side of Hurricane, the K-5 assignment falls to either Hurricane Elementary or Three Falls Elementary depending on the exact street, and the chain from there runs Hurricane Intermediate (grades 6-7), Hurricane Middle (grades 8-9), and Hurricane High (grades 10-12). Valley Academy, a K-8 charter in Hurricane, is an alternative some families weigh. For higher education, Utah Tech University and Dixie Technical College sit in St. George, roughly 25 minutes away. The district is actively redistricting to manage growth, so the specific schools assigned to a given address can shift year to year. Confirm the current assignment for any home you are serious about directly with the district. For independent school information, GreatSchools and Niche both publish data you can weigh for yourself.

What locals know
Notes from around the neighborhood.
No listing photo tells you this part. After years of showing homes across Hurricane, here is what I would tell a friend about living on this side of town.
-
You live between two reservoirs. Quail Creek is the closer one, Sand Hollow is the bigger one, and having both within ten minutes means you pick based on the activity, not the drive. Kayaking goes to Quail Creek. Boating and beaches go to Sand Hollow.
-
Hurricane runs warm. The town sits about 1,000 feet lower than Cedar City and runs hotter through the summer. Plan on real air conditioning and shade trees, and expect the shoulder seasons here to be some of the best weather in the state.
-
State Street is the spine. Nearly every errand runs along it, and once you live here you learn which lights to avoid at which hours. The good news: most of your trips stay within a one-mile stretch.
-
Peach Days changes the traffic patterns. Every September, Hurricane's Peach Days festival draws a crowd that fills the streets around the city center. From this side of town you stay off the busiest blocks and can skip the detours.

Expect modest single-family homes on compact in-town lots, a lot of them one-level living, built out in the early-to-mid 2000s. Lot sizes here run smaller than the edge-of-town parcels, and the streets stay quiet because it is a settled residential subdivision.
Yes. Sand Hollow Reservoir is about 12 minutes from the subdivision. Quail Creek Reservoir is even closer, about 8 minutes. Both are reachable without crossing the center of town.
