Edge of the desert
Located at the edge of the Mojave Desert, Shadow Hills offers a mix of quiet rural and suburban living between Indio and the Coachella Valley Preserve. Indio started as a railroad town but later developed into an agricultural powerhouse specializing in date farming; Indio’s Shadow Hills community continues to offer rare greenery amid the desert climate of the Inland Empire. Residents of Shadow Hills live in sight of the wide-open desert and distant mountains, in a city whose world-class celebrations of art and culture earned it the nickname “City of Festivals.”
