Palm Desert

Situated in the heart of Greater Palm Springs, Palm Desert has metamorphosed from a sandy cove at the foot of the Santa Rosas into a sprawling shopping, entertainment, and recreation mecca. Catch a show at the McCallum Theatre , a state-of-the-art performance venue that has hosted some of the world’s top entertainers, as well as touring Broadway acts; feed a giraffe at the wonderfully wild Living Desert Zoo & Gardens , ranked one of the top zoos in the country; let inspiration strike while exploring public art along the city’s famed shopping district, El Paseo; kick it into high gear on the Bump and Grind Trail (the 1,000-foot elevation gain pays off in breathtaking panoramic views); or play a round on an award-winning golf course.

Palm Desert offers a variety of property ownership options, from single-family homes in gated and non-gated communities to condos and townhouses to high-end golf course properties. Like much of the Coachella Valley, house styles vary widely (Spanish, Santa Fe, mid-century modern, contemporary and newer tract homes). Single-family residences start at approximately $375,000 to upwards of $13,000,000. Condos/townhomes are more affordable starting at about $240,000.
