A popular desert resort since the 1930s, Palm Springs is the largest city by size in the Coachella Valley. Sometimes confused with Florida’s Palm Beach, Palm Springs has plenty of palm trees, sand, elegant homes, golf courses, and swimming pools — but no ocean.
Palm Springs is a mecca for fans of 20th-century architecture, with midcentury modern and Spanish hacienda taking the cake as the most popular styles. Condos are also found throughout the city, including 1970s apartment-style dwellings at Americana Gardens, 1970s small Hacienda-style detached homes at Canyon Sands, 1980s modern split-levels at the Village Racquet Club, and uber-modern attached townhouses at Cody Place.
Mobile home communities range from the 55-plus Sahara Park to all-ages communities such as the Palm Canyon Mobile Club, renovated in the mid-2000s, and the midcentury modern-style Horizon Mobile Village & RV Park.
Golf is arguably Palm Springs’ most popular activity, and there are more than 100 courses here. Large resorts and clubs such as Canyon Estates, Escena, and Seven Lakes include single-family homes and/or condos.
The city is served by the Palm Springs Unified School District. Of its 28 schools, the only local ones are Cahuilla Elementary and K-8 charter Cielo Vista.
Hiking and equestrian trails crisscross the neighboring Agua Caliente Reservation, as well as the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains. You can also glimpse the ranges from the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. More city fun includes the 18-acre Desert Highland Park — where you can play badminton and volleyball, among other sports — and art and architecture museums in downtown Palm Springs.
