Rancho Mirage

Anyone who has ever been to the city before would probably be surprised to learn that Rancho Mirage was not incorporated until 1973. It seems so much more established and settled than that date would lead you to believe. The truth is Rancho Mirage was first settled way back in the 1920’s and 1930’s.  Fame for the area did not start until after World War II. Many of the Elite of Hollywood (Sinatra, Hope, Fred Astaire, the Marx Brothers and Ginger Rogers to name a few) began to draw the worlds attention to this beautiful spot in the California Desert. To this day many streets in the city are named after these stars.

The World also knows about Mission Hills Country Club. The Dinah Shore/Kraft Lades golf tournament id televised from here every year. As a Rancho Mirage seasonal or year round resident you can get discounted tee times and golf fees at this great course.

The heart of what makes Rancho Mirage special is the primarily residential nature of the City. Careful planning has lead to a city filled with just the right amount of commercial, much of it architecturally interesting, many parks and trails and loads of tree lined quiet residential streets. World class golf, resorts, medical facilities and country clubs fill the rest of the area. A new public Library is an architectural treat and a great community resource offering entertainment and lecture series year round.

A great mix of homes and condos offers a choice for any taste, any need. From Gated communities offering “weekender” sized condos, large condos up to large Luxury estates there is a home that would be perfect for anyone.  There are even areas that have horse property such as Clancy Lane.  In addition to the many fine golf communities recent years have seen a few water front communities built. If you are interested in having water view and a mountain view you can now do so.
