Candlewood Villas
Spanish inspired homes and vacation rental opportunities
Contemporary ranch-style homes featuring Spanish influences, such as clay-tile roofs and stucco exteriors line residential streets. These properties sit on half-acre lots, and many come with an in-ground pool. Build dates stretch from the 1980s through the early 2000s, while prices typically range from $400,000 to $700,000 for a larger, recently renovated property. Homebuyers will also find condos in the gated Cathedral Springs subdivision in the northwestern corner. These units typically fall around $300,000 and come with homeowners association fees for amenities like community pools and pickleball courts. “There tend to be a lot of snowbirds that come to Cathedral City during the summer months,” Whittier says. The city allows homeowners within Short-Term Vacation Rentals (STVR) communities to rent out their property for 30 or fewer consecutive days of renting. “The city does this to keep home prices down versus people running them as a full-time business,” says Whittier. Those interested learn more about the ordinance on the city’s website.Big-box stores and local restaurants dot the community's outer edge
Ramon Road and Date Palm Drive border the community’s southern and southeastern sides. Alongside a handful of chain spots like Apple Bee’s Bar + Grill, the corridors are also home to locally owned eateries, including El Portal Mexican Restaurant and Bubba’s Bones & Brews, where patrons can wash down barbeque with a craft beer. On Ramon Road, The Springs shopping center sits opposite Walmart Supercenter and features The Home Depot, Burlington and more retailers. Residents stop by Cardenas Markets and Stater Bros. Markets on Date Palm Drive for groceries.The recreational opportunities of Cathedral City and Palm Springs
Short trips lead to Cimarron Golf Resort’s pair of courses just west of the community. Visitors of Ocotillo Park on Moreno Road practice tricks across its namesake skate park and climb about its several playgrounds. Big League Dreams on Date Palm Drive keeps busy with youth sports practices throughout the week and fills for weekend tournaments. Residents can also try their luck at Agua Caliente Casino 4 miles south or hop on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway 11 miles west. “The tram is huge here,” Whittier says. “In the middle of summer, when it's 120 degrees, I will take the tram up the mountain where it’s much cooler. On a clear day, you can see all the way down to the Salton Sea from the observatory.”Palm Springs Unified School District and the high-ranking Palm Valley School
Palm Springs Unified School District scores an overall B on Niche and serves over 21,000 students. Niche gives Sunny Sands Elementary School and Landau Elementary School B ratings. James Workman Middle School earns a B-minus and Rancho Mirage High School scores a B. The high school offers hands-on learning academies, from Rattler Automotive Careers Education to Culinary Arts Food Education. Those seeking local private options can enroll at Palm Valley School, which Niche gives an A-plus rating and ranks the best high school for STEM in the Palm Springs Area.Annual events take place at Cathedral City Festival Lawn
In late November, hot air balloons fill the horizon for the Cathedral City International Balloon Festival. Held at Cathedral City Festival Lawn, the staple event hosts live music, food trucks and several other activities. In late January, the lawn also hosts the Jalisco Festival, an annual celebration of Mexican culture since 1996.Commuting in and around the Coachella Valley
Interstate 10 is less than a 2-mile trip north. The throughway connects the area to neighboring cities like Coachella, 24 miles southeast, and San Bernardino, 60 miles northwest. For medical care, residents must take the 8-mile drive southeast to Eisenhower Medical Center Hospital. Those traveling to and from the region catch flights at Palm Springs International Airport 3 miles west. Flight paths do not overlap the community, but residents can expect to hear periodic noise of nearby planes. Sunline Transit Agency stops line roads framing the community, servicing travel throughout the locale.
