Glenwood Springs and Carbondale Housing

Finding affordable housing near CMC Carbondale and Glenwood Springs can be a challenge. Knowing where to look, checking listings daily, and being prepared to act fast when an opportunity presents itself will help you secure housing in the Roaring Fork Valley.

The nearby CMC Spring Valley campus has residence halls available for Glenwood Springs and Carbondale students. Some of your classes may even be offered at this campus.

If you’re under 21 years old, you may be required to live at the Spring Valley campus while attending one of these nearby CMC locations.

On-Campus Housing

The CMC Spring Valley campus is less than 10 miles from CMC Glenwood Springs and CMC Carbondale. This is a popular option among traditional aged students in the area.

Visit CMC Residence Halls for complete information: room layouts, costs, meal plans, and much more.

There is a free shuttle connecting all three of these locations.

On-campus housing goes fast! Avoid the wait-list by securing your spot when you submit your housing application.

Off-Campus Housing

If you’re under 21 years old, you may be required to live on the Spring Valley campus even if attending nearby CMC Glenwood Springs or CMC Carbondale. See Section II of the housing agreement for details. If you’re under 21 years old, request approval to live off-campus by filling out the exemption form and wait for approval prior to signing a lease.

If you’re eligible to live off-campus, here are some options to begin your search:

  • Post Independent: Browse online or pick up a free copy of this daily newspaper outside many area businesses. New rentals are added daily.
  • Craigslist, Western Slope Region
  • Craigslist, High Rockies Region

You may need to make a special trip to the area a few weeks prior to classes starting to view listings and secure a lease. Be prepared to pay first and last month’s rent, as well as a damage deposit. Don’t be surprised if there aren’t many options that allow pets!

Need help finding roommates? Check out our CMC Connect Facebook Groups, our online communities where you can meet current and future CMC students. You might even find someone who has already found a place to rent, looking for roommates.

Note: The College provides the above housing resources as information only and has not independently reviewed the quality, price or other features of any housing alternative listed. CMC does not endorse or rate off-campus housing options. The list of housing facilities on this site is not complete, and there may be additional housing options in the community.

Finding Roommates

Need help finding roommates? Check out our CMC Connect Facebook Groups, our online communities where you can meet current and future CMC students.

For on-campus housing, you can request a specific roommate on your housing application. If you don’t select a specific roommate by the middle of July (for Fall move-in), we’ll pair you with one based on a number of answers you provide on the housing application. You may also have the opportunity to choose a roommate at orientation.

If you’re living on-campus, you’ll probably have a roommate since singles are rarely available at CMC Spring Valley.

Rental Assistance Program

Depending on your income and other factors, you may qualify for the Garfield County Rental Assistance Program if living off-campus.

At the link above you’ll find a document “Payment Standard & Utility Allowance” showing the current income levels for qualification, and another “Pre-Application” document. There is a wait-list for this assistance, so the sooner you apply the better.

For any questions regarding this program call the Garfield County Housing Authority at 970-625-3589.
