Palm Springs CA Real Estate Information

Located just 115 miles from Los Angeles CA, the desert playground of Palm Springs has offered endless sunshine and quick getaways to Southern Californians for years. With a convenient modern airport, anyone can come enjoy the golf, shopping, gaming and dining opportunities in this Desert paradise.

Palm Springs real estate represents some of the best over-all retirement/vacation home prices in the otherwise pricey California real estate market.

• The value for the money remains very high when compared to other areas of the state.
• The proximity to the 22 million southern Californians makes it a perpetually popular weekend getaway.
• The warmth of our winters makes it the perfect place to escape the cold and snowy weather in the North.

While many of our visitors and second home owners come from the Pacific Northwest and Canada we are starting to see many more visitors from East of the Mississippi.The ease of arriving by air has greatly increased since the expansion of the convenient Palm Springs International airport. Once a sleepy little, winter vacation spot in the California desert the 7 cities that make up the Coachella valley have blossomed into vibrant year round communities. Palm Springs offers an enviable resort lifestyle that includes over 320 days of Sunshine per year.

Neighborhoods and Architecture: Historic mixes with trendy and new blends with old in the neighborhoods of Palm Springs.  From the ULTRA modern soaring rooflines of the multi-million dollar ALTA neighborhood in South Palm Springs to the more traditional California Ranch style homes of Tahquitz River Estates. Mid Century architecture with pedigrees from the likes of Donald Wexler and Alexander abound in the neighborhoods of Palm Springs. From Deepwell, to Ruth Hardy Park to The Movie Colony, Las Palmas and Little Tuscany.  Palm Springs is truly an architectural jewel box.   

The Future: looks quite bright for Palm Springs.  The 2013 Season is ending strong with amazing entertainment, larger than ever crowds of visitors, more flights and lots of new or improved restaurants. From Zin Bistro, Cheekys, Sammy G's, Tinto to Rio Azul  and a revamped Kaiser Grill plus the recently redone Saguaro Hotel. 

The city has passed a new Tax measure to support a project to redevelop the old Palm Springs Fashion Plaza Mall and opening up a street leading to the front of the Palm Springs Art Museum.  This work is already well underway as the old BOA building at Tahquitz has been demolished. The Marilyn Monroe statue took up residence in 2012 in that space. The Morrison townhomes are finished and the intersection of Amado and Caballeros has a new development of 40+ single family homes called SOL. The Escena development that was stalled is now back up and running offering new homes with a modern flair and a popular golf club and restaurant as well.
