Cimarron City is a quiet country town, but maybe not for long
Cimarron City is a rural area in Logan County, north of Oklahoma City, with spacious farmland and homes near Lake Lattawanna and Cedar Cove Lake. As more and more people leave busy Edmond and OKC, Cimarron City may be the next hot spot for development. “We have some properties for sale near Cimarron City that people might buy to develop,” says Bo Martin, owner and broker at Exit Realty Premier, who grew up in nearby Cedar Valley. “It’s right between Cedar Valley and Crescent. There’s not much for sale there, but ultimately, it’s only a matter of time. It’s on the same stretch of highway as us.” For now, it’s a quiet, rural town to live among nature while still having access to Crescent, Guthrie, Edmond and OKC.
Cimarron City blends rural charm with access to Crescent, Guthrie, Edmond, and OKC.

Manufactured, ranch-style and farmhouse-style homes
Most homes here were built in the 1970s with ranch-style designs, though there are also manufactured homes and a handful of custom-built contemporary properties built in the early 2000s. Older properties feature carport awnings instead of attached garages, and some residents park in their front yards. Estimated home prices range between $175,000 and $400,000. Due to the rural setting, many homes run on septic tanks and well water systems. Homes here have Crescent addresses, and some properties along Lake Lattawanna and Cedar Cove Lake feature private docks on the water.
Cimarron City locals can find beautiful ranches shaded by mature trees.

Keeping an eye out for tornadoes
Weather in Oklahoma can occasionally be severe. There are often tornados and storms with hail during the spring, hot summers and an average of 9 inches of snow in the winter. Logan County sends severe weather alerts to residents who sign up for the CivicReady system, and local news outlets send alerts on the radio and broadcast TV. Some homes have storm shelters, and residents can install their own or rely on a neighbor who has one. The CAP Index gives Cimarron City a 1 out of 10 crime score, lower than the national average of 4.
Driving down Highway 74 to nearby cities
Residents rely on their cars to get around, and the narrow residential streets are sidewalk-free. Highway 74 is the main commuter route that runs north to Crescent and south to Oklahoma City. The nearly 35-mile drive to OKC or Will Rogers International Airport lasts about 45 minutes, while a trip to Crescent is 5 miles or less than 10 minutes. Some residents commute to work in Edmond, 23 miles south or about a 30-minute drive. Crescent has Mercy Primary Care – Crescent for routine services, but the nearest hospital is Mercy Hospital Logan County. The Blessing Barn is the only place of worship in town.
Hanging out in Crescent or Guthrie
Cimarron City homes have large lots, which means having plenty of room to spend time outdoors, but members of the Lake Lottawanna Association can fish in Lake Lattawanna or launch their boats onto the water. The nearest park is Crescent City Park, and Crescent is also the destination for annual community events. “We have our annual Fall Festival as well as our Christmas in Crescent event and movies in the park from June to August,” says Mahala Renteria, president of the Crescent Community Enrichment Foundation. The Crescent Fall Festival was held for the first time in 2024, and it was a success with food trucks, a pumpkin patch and kid’s activities like the sack race. Nearby Guthrie is home to Oklahoma’s oldest and largest parade, held during the ‘89er Days Celebration.
Crescent City Park has a well maintained play set for Cimarron City kids to enjoy anytime.
The Guthrie 89ER Parade is just a short drive for Cimarron City locals to enjoy.

Crescent and Guthrie have shops and restaurants close to Cimarron City
Anyone who wants to shop or dine out can visit Crescent or Guthrie. Crescent has the Hometown Foods grocery store, and Paper Pages Bookstore is one of the few locally owned businesses along Noth Grand Street. Crow Creek Cafe serves classic American food, from a soup of the day to homemade treats. El Palmo Mexican Restaurant is a popular lunch and dinner spot.
Martin says people who move in from out of state are drawn to Guthrie for its historic setting. Guthrie was Oklahoma’s first city and original capital. After exploring the museums and antique stores, visitors might grab dinner at Martin’s favorite spot: Gages Steakhouse. The restaurant is in the Old Santa Fe Train Depot, which Guthrie's early settlers used for commuting.
