Residential neighborhood bordered by Highway 52 retail
Highway 52's car dealerships, fast food chains and furniture stores border Cimarron, a Northwest Rochester neighborhood about 5 miles outside of city center. Here, most single-family homes date back to the 1980s and ‘90s, and local haunts like the St. James Coffee shop are a bike ride—or even a quick walk away off 18th Avenue to the east. “Rochester requires sidewalks in all neighborhoods, so there’s walkability and accessibility to restaurants, bars and shopping from Cimarron,” says Christopher Hus, a local Realtor with RE/MAX Results. Neighbors gather outside small-town churches like Resurrection Lutheran and Pax Christi on Sunday mornings, and densely packed homes look out onto playgrounds and the athletic fields of nearby parks. In other words, Cimarron is a careful blend of quiet cul-de-sacs, swingsets and commercial properties. Perhaps most importantly, it’s all a quick commute from the Mayo Clinic, which employs more than 40,000 people in Rochester. Hus, along with fellow RE/MAX Results Realtor Dane White, says that almost everything in town is centered around the clinic, from summertime concert series to winter ice festivals. Since Cimarron came to be approximately 40 years ago, the city’s population has now more than doubled, a fact which can be attributed to Mayo.
‘Starter homes’ on compact lots
In Cimarron, Hus says, “You’ll find smaller houses with detached garages,” along with “starter-home prices,” especially when compared with properties in Rochester’s eastern quadrant. There’s a mix of four-bed, two-bath ranch-style houses and bi-levels, which White calls “the Rochester special” and prices range from around $280,000 to $340,000. Lot sizes are compact, less than one-fifth of an acre. In the fall, mature maple and oak trees shed their leaves, turning once-green lawns various shades of red and orange.
Homes with lush green yards are commonplace in the Cimarron neighborhood.

Playgrounds, sports complexes and swimming in the summer
Brightly-colored climbing structures and slides stand tall in Cimarron Park, sandwiched between 48th Street and 49 ½ Street at the center of the neighborhood. A block away, Kings Run Park has a small community garden, a playground and paved trails that are popular with joggers and dog owners alike. On the eastern side of the neighborhood, Roy Watson Youth Sports Complex hosts soccer and baseball tournaments. “We live below 32 degrees for the majority of the winter here,” says White. “But if you can get past the cold, the summers here are fantastic.” Swimmers can bring folding chairs and towels to the beach at Foster-Arend Park and there’s also a floating water park and sand volleyball court by the lake.

Dual enrollment at the University of Minnesota and RCTC
Students in Cimarron are districted for Rochester Public Schools like Gage Elementary, which Niche grades with a B-minus; John Adams Middle, which earns a C-plus and John Marshall High, which scores a B grade. At John Marshall, students can opt to pursue dual enrollment opportunities at local institutions like the University of Minnesota or Rochester Community and Technical College. While juniors and seniors interested in medical careers can pursue research-based mentorships at the Mayo Clinic. The Ressurection School, a private option for kids in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, is also located nearby in the adjacent neighborhood.
John Adams Middle serves 1,072 students in grades 6-8.
John Marshall Senior High serves 1,573 students in grades 8-12.

Big-box national chains and local chains with unique burger toppings
According to White, Cimarron’s proximity to shopping destinations like Walmart Supercenter and Target make it a convenient home base, and there’s also a variety of chain restaurants like Applebee’s, Five Guys and Taco Bell located off Highway 52. Hus recommends stopping by Newt’s, a local chain famous for its brews and burgers with creative toppings like guacamole, fried eggs and even peanut butter. Walls are decorated with black-and-white photos and the mounted heads of bucks--and there’s usually classic rock playing in the background. Locals can pick up specialty goods at Saigon Far East Oriental Market on 18th Avenue or drive to Hy-Vee for larger grocery runs.

Downtown festivals and concerts sponsored by the Mayo Clinic
Cimarron residents can travel just outside the neighborhood to experience annual concerts and festivals, many of which are sponsored by the Mayo Clinic closer to Downtown. There’s Rochesterfest, typically scheduled in late June, a week-long event complete with live music, sherbert-eating contests and a large-scale treasure hunt that ends with a parade on Saturday. “Different small businesses and some of the real estate brokerages in Rochester walk in the parade,” says the Enclave Team’s Marcia Gehrt, adding, “It’s a long parade route, kind of a fun sampling of everything that goes on in the city.” There are also live performances in Peace Plaza throughout the summer, free concerts beside Silver Lake and an event called Social-ICE in the winter, which is popular for its themed drinks and ice sculptures.
Commutes Downtown and to Rochester International via Highway 52
Although Downtown Rochester is accessible via the city’s public bus system, which stops near Cimarron Park and along Frontage Road, it’s more common for residents to commute via car. Hus says traffic is rarely a concern— “Probably 85% of the nation wouldn’t consider it an issue”— and the 5-mile trip down Highway 52 typically takes between 10 and 15 minutes. Once Downtown, pedestrian subways and skyways make it possible to walk between hotels, hospital buildings and shopping centers without stepping foot outside, a feature that’s especially convenient on days when wind chill leads to sub-zero temperatures. Rochester’s international airport is a few miles south of Downtown attractions like Peace Plaza, and planes fly nonstop to larger airports like Minneapolis/St. Paul and Chicago O’Hare.
