La Quinta 30th Anniversary-- Desert Clubdesert club

 






















Kids now swim, frolic and play at the Fritz Burns Park and Community Pool, but it was once an exclusive playground for adults know at The Desert Club.  In the 1930's and 1940's  the Desert Club was a magnet for celebrities like Rita Hayworth. There were frequent poolside parties  in an informal setting, where guest could wear anything from "dress clothes to dungarees."

Desert Club Estates is now a neighborhood in La Quinta with eclectic homes ranging from $250,000- $600,000.  Currently there are 7 active listings with 3 of them with offers and "contingent" status. The homes in Desert Club Estates are single-story, most with private pools, and no HOA's.  The neighborhood is located close to Old Town La Quinta, La Quinta Resort, golf and shopping!

Desert Club advertisements touted La Quinta as the place "where winter never comes!"

Kathy, your title caught me as well. I do not enjoy winter, but still like the seasons of the north. Maybe someday I will end up in the south near you. I will give you a shout when I look to buy!
