Ironwood Country Club provides access to golf and Palm Desert living
Ironwood Country Club was originally developed in the 1970s, and it is one of southern Palm Desert’s largest gated communities. “It has a really great lifestyle. You have access to golf, and there’s high-end shopping and dining nearby,” says Molly Hobin Williams, president and CEO of the 100-year-old Hobin Company, who has been working in Palm Desert and Manhattan Beach since 2010.Along the edges of the community, residential streets and houses skirt the base of the San Jacinto Mountains. “Because you’re tucked up against the mountain, it’s not as windy as some other parts of the Coachella Valley,” Williams says.

Varied home styles and HOA maintenance
Buyers can find three general categories of homes in the community — condos, freestanding houses that are classified as condos and custom homes. Most condos were built in the 1970s or ‘80s, and they have neutral-toned stucco exteriors and terra-cotta roof tiles. They generally list between $500,000 and just under $1 million. With freestanding homes listed as condos, the owner maintains the interior, and the HOA covers exterior maintenance and landscaping. These tend to fall between $1 million and $1.8 million.
A few estate homes were built in the mid-1900s, but many were added after 2000. Their custom designs reflect Pueblo Revival, Mediterranean, or modern design influences. Estate owners are responsible for interior and exterior upkeep, and the homes often cost between $2 million and $8 million. HOA fees are about $250 to $1,200 per month. The community has a CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, compared to 4 nationally.

Country club amenities and nearby recreation
Residents have the option to join the Ironwood Country Club, which entails paying an initiation fee and monthly dues. Social membership provides access to the fitness center, pickleball courts and the many gatherings. With a golf membership, full use of the two 18-hole golf courses, driving ranges and practice areas is added. “You don’t have to join the club, though. It’s kind of unique in that way,” Williams says. Just north of the community is The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, a 1,200-acre park with replicas of deserts habitats from around the globe, as well as some of the animal species that inhabit them. "It's always kind of weird to be driving down the street and see giraffes," Williams says. Ironwood Park is also nearby, and it has walking trails and a shaded playground. Some people enjoy hiking around the nearby mountains or up to the cross just west of state Route 74, Williams says. “From the top, you have an incredible view of all the clubs.” Plays and performances take place at the McCallum Theatre, about 4 miles north. Past entertainers have included cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, and Broadway performer, Leslie Odom, Jr.

Close to El Paseo and other shopping
One block south of state Route 111 is El Paseo, where people can shop from luxury brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton or grab a bite to eat. “There is an endless number of great restaurants,” Williams says. “Jillian’s is the best, but it’s very hard to get in. Ristorante Mamma Gina has a happy hour every day, and people are lined up right at 4.” The Shops at Palm Desert, a two-story indoor mall anchored by Macy’s, is just north of state Route 111. Albertsons, Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s are all within a 5-mile radius of most homes.

Seasonal activities and events in the Coachella Valley
Between November and Memorial Day, the Coachella Valley has “nonstop events, parties and dinners,” Williams says. “It can be a very active lifestyle if you want it to be, or it can be very mellow.” Fashion Week El Paseo and the Palm Desert Food & Wine festival both take place in March. Indian Wells hosts the annual BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament, and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival brings a swarm of people to the valley each April. Though many festivalgoers camp on site at the Empire Polo Club, others stay at hotels in and around Palm Desert. “By Memorial Day, people are usually out of here until November. In September and October, it’s dusty and courses are closed, but in November, it’s full steam ahead,” Williams says.
There are many vendors and booths at the Palm Desert Greek Festival.
The Coachella Valley Wildflower Festival is a feast for the eyes and a delight for the senses.
