Palm Desert Country
Homes on the golf course, with views of surrounding mountains
Some houses are alongside the golf course at Palm Desert Country Club and Resort. They do not belong to a gated community and HOA membership is not required. Sixty-nine two-bedroom villas are in the early stages of construction that will feature front and back terraces with views of the 18-hole course and the Santa Rosa, San Jacinto, and San Gorgonio mountains. Woodhaven and The Oasis are two nearby clubs that offer private membership but are still open to the public. Both locations include gated communities where HOA fees are required. A five-bedroom early 2000s Mediterranean-style home with a spa and backyard putting green for $1.2 million. A two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium overlooking the second hole of Palm Desert Resort Country Club may sell for $340,000.A balanced education in highly rated schools
Many of Palm Desert’s children are educated at Ronald Reagan Elementary, with an A rating from Niche and a 15-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio. Palm Desert Charter Middle School has an A-minus rating from Niche and offers a curriculum that focuses heavily on art and STEM. Students can move on to Palm Desert High School, which has an A rating from Niche and offers Advanced Placement courses.From the fairway to sports courts at the local park
When locals want a break from the golf, the centrally located Freedom Park offers public access to eight pickleball courts, three baseball and softball fields, three basketball courts, two volleyball courts, two multipurpose fields, a dog park, multiple playgrounds and a picnic shelter.Places to grab a bite, shop and snag groceries
Palm Desert Country offers grocery stores, restaurants and boutiques. Many residents knock out their weekly shopping at Albertsons. Cups Café, a neighborhood coffee shop, specializes in shrimp frittata and chilaquiles, a Mexican breakfast dish with fried tortillas, sauce and cheese. Pacifica Seafood Restaurant offers homey open-air dining and vegetarian options. Color Pop Boutique specializes in candles, cosmetic grade micas and body and bath supplies. OMG Collectibles & Sports sells Pokémon or MLB cards.Entertainment, from live music at Coachella to big-name comedy
The yearly Coachella Valley Music and Arts is a significant tourist draw for the city. The neighborhood is also five miles from Acrisure Arena, a 10,000-seater that opened in December 2022. Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle have performed there, and the Lakers have played there. Locals enjoy visiting the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, which features about 50 distinct gardens and 150 species of animals.Easy access to Route 10 and lighter traffic than in Los Angeles
“The City of Palm Desert offers really easy living,” says Honey Guleria, executive premier director of Windermere Real Estate and longtime resident of Palm Desert Country. “The whole community is geared towards resort-style living. It’s a big change for people driving out from L.A. where there’s a lot of traffic. Everything here is so much more convenient.” The neighborhood provides convenient access to Route 10 to drive 20 miles to Palm Springs or 124 miles to Los Angeles

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
