Spanish-style homes with scenic golf course views
Homes in Palm Valley are primarily Spanish-style condos, some with two units attached and some with up to four units. Most are one story, but a few in the neighborhood’s northern end are two stories. The homes often have spacious built-in garages and are situated close together, making it easy for residents to get to know their neighbors. Mature palm trees and vibrant plants add to the tropical vibe. “Every street is a flower name, and they landscape accordingly. I’ve never seen such a huge crew of gardeners in my life. It’s part of what drew us there,” says Jason McAfee, a Palm Valley resident and broker at Reagan Properties. Nearly every home has a backyard patio overlooking a portion of the golf course, adding a serene spot for residents to relax, host friends for a cookout and enjoy a sunset over the desert mountains. Palm Valley also has 24-hour gate attendants, adding a sense of security for residents. The neighborhood has a crime score of 3 out of 10, according to the CAP Index, lower than the national average of 4. The condos in the community come in one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans and typically range from $500,000 to $800,000. Buyers in Palm Valley will also be responsible for a homeowners association fee of $936 per month.Tee off a day of fun in Palm Valley
