The Re-development of down town Palm Springs, Calif.

Palm Springs is definitely a resort destination, but the actual downtown area, (locals call it "the village"), needs some updating.  The old Desert Fashion Plaza is about to be redeveloped into a hip, pool topped hotel/retail area.  Palm Springs Redevelopment is on it's way!

The Village area of down town Palm Springs, is unique and highly desirable to our Palm Springs Valley.  It feels almost like a beach town in that you see people on bicycles cruising by, cars parked and people walking everywhere.  The housing developments that are walking distance to The Village, such as The Tennis Club, Vista Las Palmas, Old Las Palmas and parts of Movie Colony command a premium from buyers.  Homes range from fixers at $650,000 (not often!), to complete remodels at $2,500,000 and more. 

Old Hollywood charm, homes that were built in the 1940's, 50's, 60's and 2000's all mixed together help to create the Village's unique charm and allure.  The re-vitalization of the mall and it's surrounding retail shops is needed to keep the Palm Springs vibe alive.  There are tons of incredible eat spots, dance places and live music hangouts, but if Palm Springs cannot draw a mix of ages, then it will continue to have the "old folks" moniker attached to it by some.  Keep the old time charm, just mix it up with new ideas and buildings..a win-win!
