The amazing quality of Desert life is accented by a splendid choice of homes in Palm Desert. Many types of neighborhoods make up the city. You will be hard pressed to find a category of home that is not represented in this city. Big Horn is a perfect example of the variety of homes in Palm Desert.

Yet, almost next door to Bighorn you can find beautiful condos for sale starting at $200,000. There are also smaller homes, mid-century modern homes, senior communities (like Sun City Palm Desert), gated communities, non gated communities, golf properties and even horse properties are all types of property available for sale in Palm Desert.

While Palm Springs is a treasure trove of 1950’s contemporary 
architecture many people are surprised to find these fifties homes in South Palm Desert as well. In fact little pockets of the Alexander, Meisselman and Wexler homes are tucked away in the most surprising places.
A great option for seasonal visitors looking to buy in East Palm Desert is the neighborhood of Desert Breezes. This neighborhood is made up of "condos" which are really cute little villas that are totally detached from each other. With nice private walled yards, greenbelts and a terrific clubhouse featuring workout room and olympic sized pool and Tennis courts. These Mediterranean styled villas are a fantastic combination of home and condo giving you the best of both worlds.
One thing that is not immediately apparent to the visitor to Palm Desert, but is very important to who we are, is that we are a destination resort. There is no industry in the valley. No rush hour, no commuting. The “business” of the Coachella valley is fun in the sun. Casinos, golf courses, world class resorts, theatre, shopping and dining see to that! Everything is just minutes away and the pace of life is slower. Everyone is here to relax and enjoy the endlessly sunny days. 
Palm Desert is broken up into 3 geographical areas referred to as Palm Desert North, Palm Desert East and South Palm Desert. South Palm Desert is almost exclusively residential once you get away from the Highway 111 corridor, while North and East are well planned communities with a mix of uses but lean more towards the residential side. Palm Desert also holds the reputation in the valley of being the most financially sound. It is also home to the new extension of the University of Southern California San Bernardino. As a result of the University project most of the remaining vacant land in North Palm Desert is being totally developed with supporting infrastructure, housing and retail. 
The McCallum Theatre and the two year College of the Desert are also located in Palm Desert. Every Saturday on the grounds of the College of the Desert the Street Fair takes place – an open air shopping extravaganza.
Perhaps best of all getting to this Desert Paradise is as easy as can be. With a convenient International Airport right in downtown Palm Springs (20 minutes away) and just 120 miles from Los Angeles or 4 Hours from Las Vegas or Phoenix.
The only question that remains is Are you ready to look for your home in Palm Desert California homes for sale?
