The situation

Why workers commute to Colorado City

America’s data center build out and race to win the AI wars has brought tens of thousands of workers to the Abilene and Stargate corridor areas, and local housing has not been kept up. Rents have climbed and units are scarce, with renters competing for a short supply. Colorado City sits on I-20, outside that Abilene crunch, with furnished homes ready now at a steady, all-bills-paid price. You trade a manageable commute for real savings and a place that is actually available.

For workers and companies

Built for data center construction crews

Specialized trades come to the West Texas data center builds from across the country, electricians, concrete workers, steel erectors, equipment operators, technicians, often on contracts that run months. We handle the utilities, furniture, and setup, so you move in with a bag and nothing else. Placing a crew? We work with companies on multiple homes, quantity rates, corporate billing, and terms that match your rotation.

Honest about the commute

Between the sites, not on top of them

We are straight with you: Colorado City is on I-20 between the Mitchell County Barber Lake and Sweetwater data center sites not adjacent to the Stargate data center. Barber Lake data center is about 5 minutes West; Sweetwater is about 30 minutes East and the Abilene Stargate campus is about an hour East. If you are on a rotation, split a ride, or the rent gap matters more than the drive, the savings here are worth it. If you must be five minutes from Stargate daily, a closer option may fit better. We would rather tell you that than oversell the distance.
