Palm Springs neighborhoods

[Kent1972]

In the next six to twelve months, plague permitting, I would like to purchase a home I’m Palm Springs. I have visited a couple of times for a few days and enjoy the area, but I’m not familiar with the various neighborhoods. If anyone has advice or can refer me to resources, I’d be most grateful. Thanks!

Are we talking Palm Springs, CA 92262 or Palm Springs, FL 33406?

I’m sorry! Palm Springs, CA.

Make sure you buy one with a lovely Guest room, right off the pool. I am dying for a vacation.

I would like at least two guest rooms, preferably with their own baths, and pool and hot tub! I love company.

I will bring you a Derby Pie as a hostess gift.....They are simply delicious. And please feel free to invite a Big dicked escort as a "guest gift" for me in the 2nd guest room !

I don't have specifics, but I too have gone there frequently and it has crossed my mind to move there.

The Cathedral City recommendation above is good as well as other nearby cities if you like being a litle more residential. You are still close to things, but needing to drive. If you're more of a city person like me, you might want to be right in Palm Springs itself. (Not that Palm Springs is a huge city). In Palm Springs proper you will also find more emphasis on maintining the Mid-Century Modern traditions. There are some neighborhoods tucked right near the heart of everything. The Warm Sands area for example is a mix of residential with many gay guest houses. Also west of Palm Canyon - near the art museum - is a little neighborhood just a few blocks from the main drag, but few people know that anything exists west of Palm Canyon. Going east from Palm Canyon toward the airport you may find a mix of lower value places and higher value places. I am not a real estate person, so you'll want to find someone who can point you in the right direction for what you desire. Hope that gives you a few thoughts though!

Thank you! This is all very helpful. I am looking for a more residential area. I don’t mind a drive into town for culture. I do want a good sized space with yard and pool. It won’t be my primary residence but I would like to spend winters there with occasional visits throughout the year.

I've heard Palm Springs is beautiful for gay retirees.

Cathedral City is known as the armpit of the Valley.

Stay away from north and northeast Palm Springs, anything north of Vista Chino Blvd. and east of the airport (Farrell) gets really really windy. So windy you won't be able to be outdoors without literally feeling like you're being sandblasted. My friend thought he picked up a good deal with a cute house near the World Gym, then he got hit so hard by gale force winds last summer that he moved to South Palm Springs, where it's completely calm (when it blows in the north). That is why there are wind turbines just north of town.

That’s great advice. Thank you!

That being the case, you indeed might want to check out one of the neighboring towns - Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage - particularly if you want some yard space. Houses in Palm Springs tend to be closer together with less property.

Thank you! I’ll have to schedule an exploratory trip once I’m able to leave my pandemic monastery.
