Welcome to Palm Desert

 
Though one of Coachella Valley’s largest cities, Palm Desert is arranged in such a manner that it feels like an ensemble of several smaller communities, with each area offering its own unique ambiance. From exclusive guard-gated country clubs with stunning custom estates to spacious single-family designs and carefree attached homes, Palm Desert’s abundance of choices is a hit with singles, couples, growing families, and those 55 and better. Popular destinations are led by Palm Desert’s El Paseo Shopping District, which rivals Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills with high-end shops and restaurants, including luxury homes.
 
An oasis for golf enthusiasts, the city also hosts Broadway plays and concerts at The McCallum Theater, an award-winning aquatics center, and Civic Center Park, complete with free concerts, picturesque lakes, tennis courts, and more. Dramatic mountain views in all directions provide a beautiful backdrop for vacationing, daily living, and seasonal escapes from colder climates. Major retail centers along Highway 111 feature big-name stores and services, and The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens is one of Palm Desert’s most popular destinations for adults and kids alike.
