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.”

The nearby Coachella Valley Preserve is home to many hiking trails and desert oases. Nature lovers can relax under fanning palm leaves beside the oasis pond in the Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve. Indio is renowned for the festivals held in its limits, most famously the Coachella Arts and Music Festival. Excellent live music performances from the likes of Bruno Mars and Beyonce dazzle tens of thousands of attendees every year, a tradition carried on – almost uninterrupted – since 1999.
