Cathedral City Cove
Midcentury ranch-style homes from all decades
The Cove's ranch-style homes have the Coachella Valley's typically neutral color palettes and flat roofs. With the mountains as a backdrop, front yards are accented by towering palms and low-water desert plantings. “Some homes here date back to the 1930s, but most of the homes were built in the ‘50s and ‘60s,” says Carl Borey, a Palm Springs local who’s been working in real estate for over 12 years. “Other areas went up in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and there are some sections that are brand new.” Homes here tend to have three to four bedrooms, and their prices depend on size, age and extra features like backyard pools. Older, smaller homes range from $550,000 to $750,000, while newer, larger homes range from $800,000 to $1 million.
