Find Your Luxurious Desert Oasis in Southern California
Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells and La Quinta are five of the most luxurious locations in California and definitely rank in the top twenty most upscale areas in all of the United States.
The Coachella Valley is a large valley landform in Southern California. Populated by nearly one million people, the valley is part of the 14th largest metropolitan area in the United States, the Inland Empire, and includes the famed tourist destination, Palm Springs. Geographically it is the agricultural and recreational desert valley in Southern California, United States (U.S.), east of Riverside and San Bernardino.
The Coachella Valley is the second largest sub-region in the Inland Empire Metropolitan Area, after the Greater San Bernardino Area. The valley extends for approximately 45 miles (72 km) in Riverside County southeast from the San Bernardino Mountains to the saltwater Salton Sea, the largest lake in California. It is approximately 15 miles (24 km) wide along most of its length, bounded on the west by the San Jacinto Mountains and the Santa Rosa Mountains and on the north and east by the Little San Bernardino Mountains. Coachella Valley real estate is a retreat, an oasis of calm and serenity in a complex, stressful world.
These majestic mountain ranges successfully block the marine layer that forms in most other areas of Southern California, leaving the Valley with a mild climate characterized by lots of sun and little precipitation. The wintertime temperatures here range from 50 to 80 degrees, which accounts for the population boom that the area enjoys during the winter months.
Often, new homebuyers entering the Coachella Valley real estate market are overwhelmed by the options.
For the past few years’ market conditions have changed dramatically. These constant changes require my professional guidance for even the most experienced homebuyer and real estate investor. There are simply outstanding opportunities in Palm Springs REO, La Quinta bank-owned properties, Rancho Mirage foreclosures, Indian Wells bank-owned and Palm Desert distressed properties.
Sales activity in the desert has begun to show signs of improvement, with more sales now in the $500,000 -$1,000,000 price range. This price range is not dominated by bank owned homes, as in the lower price ranges where homes under $300,000 is the norm and fastest selling, but many of these homes were once priced over $1 million. Sales of homes above $1 million are still rather scarce.
The Coachella Valley is the Capital of Golf in the western United States, and nearly 125 world-class courses prove this fact!

Palm Desert once served as a training ground for General George Patton's Third Army troops and tank battalions. After World War II, Cliff Henderson, an L.A.-based developer, began to develop the desert into his dream community.
The first residential development occurred in 1943 in connection with an
Army maintenance camp in the area. That site was later developed into
"El Paseo", an upscale shopping district not unlike
Rodeo Drive. In 1948, the Palm Desert Corporation began to develop real estate, and in 1951 the area was given its present name.
