PGA West
Suburban Neighborhood in La Quinta, California

Spanish style homes with luxury amenities
Homes in PGA West are a collection of luxury homes and condos, with options for residences on and off the fairways. “We have condos starting at $500,000 up to $5 million homes, so there’s something for everyone,” King says. Stucco walls and clay tile roofs inspired by Spanish and Mediterranean architecture adorn the exteriors. Spacious contemporary interiors blend seamlessly with ornate courtyards to balance indoor and outdoor space, and landscaped backyards and private pools are standard household amenities. “HOA takes care of landscaping, so everything is aesthetically pleasing,” King says.

Members have access to private golf courses, wellness facilities and more
“If you’re active, it’s the greatest place to live,” King says. “We have hiking trails, golf, pickle ball, bocce ball and polo tennis. There are three private clubhouses, a clubhouse and a restaurant.” Residents must be PGA West members to use the private facilities, including the six state-of-the-art private golf courses. There are also three public golf courses. PGA Residents also have access to the popular hiking trails and parks in La Quinta. The moderately challenging La Quinta Cover to Lake Cahuilla hike goes through PGA West Golf Course and finishes at Lake Cahuilla. Like other trails in the area, it is surrounded by the Santa Rosa Mountains.

World-class events like Coachella and PGA Golf Tour
In addition to seemingly limitless recreation opportunities in PGA West, residents are also at the center of high-profile events. “Coachella is held just a mile away each April, and every January, we have the American Express PGA Golf Tour come through here,” King says. Just outside of PGA West, Acrisure Arena opened in 2022 and holds over 11,000 people. “They’ve had a ton of good concerts there: The Doobie Brothers, Eagles, Stevie Nicks, Shania Twain, you name it. We also have a junior Hockey Team called the Firebirds,” King says.Day trip to Los Angeles and San Diego
PGA West is in La Quinta, about 130 miles from Los Angeles and 130 miles from San Diego. “It’s well situated. You’re two hours to the beach and two hours to go skiing at Big Bear Mountain Resort. You’re also about two hours from Disneyland,” King says. “Most people get around the neighborhood on their golf carts. Of course, you’ll need a car to go places outside the neighborhood.”High-end dining and shopping options nearby
Arnold Palmer’s Restaurant is a steakhouse just outside PGA West. The restaurant is decorated with Arnold Palmer memorabilia and serves some of the golf legend’s favorite foods, like slow roasted prime rib and meatloaf. Another local favorite is Lavender Bistro, serving seafood, steak and pasta. Its outdoor dining patio is decked out with twinkly lights. PGA West residents can grab groceries at Ralphs, Vons and big-box stores like in La Quinta like Target, Walmart and Costo.
