CNN Money Ranks Palm Springs #2-Best Places to Retire

Desert Golf Course

For people with an artistic and adventurous spirit who seek culture and an active lifestyle, Palm Springs never disappoints. A rejuvenating oasis in the desert, the Palm Springs area has been a popular destination for regular folks since the 1920's, as well as a desert playground for movie stars and presidents. This beautiful desert gem has long been a favorite choice for retirees from all over the world.

Desert visitors and residents can enjoy beautiful paintings and sculptures in the 125,000-square-foot Palm Springs Art Museum, see world-class performing artists at the many area theaters, and appreciate the landmark mid-century architecture by William Cody, Donald Wexler, Richard Neutra, and Albert Frey.

Palm Springs area residents enjoy an average of 354 days of sunshine per year, which is perfect for outdoor activities like biking, hiking, golfing, tennis, swimming, and horseback riding. Many residents of other states and countries, often called "snowbirds," enjoy spending winters here as owners of second homes, and then make the permanent move when they retire.

Although there are many million-dollar homes in the desert cities, enticing deals are available for every type of budget. Those in the market to buy will find incredible opportunities to make a great investment in Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Desert Hot Springs, La Quinta, and Indio.  An average three-bedroom home can be had for just $250,000, down from about $450,000 at the peak.

There are many people in this country and Canada who for a long time may have wanted to own a second home in sunny Palm Springs, but whose dream seemed unattainable because of high prices. Their time has arrived, and their dream home is waiting for them here at an affordable price!  Buyers are discovering that it's never been easier to make a secure investment in the beautiful California desert.

 I am a newspaper correspondent and want to share my view about  <a href="http://www.gardenspotvillage.org"> Best Retirement Communities </a>, and I found Garden Spot Village is the best place for retirees. Ambience is very good. It is well connected with major metropolitan areas. The best thing is they provide health care service too. They pay attention to create good environment for everyone to live happily.
