Palma Village Groves
Single-family homes with no HOA fees in central Palm Desert
Residential homes here are organized into clusters of well-plotted communities. Neatly trimmed lawns and tall palm trees quietly sit alongside single-story houses. Properties were mostly developed in the second half of the 20th century, and newer builds can be a rare find. Midcentury modern ranch-styles, with contemporary or Spanish influences, dominate the community landscape. Yard sizes vary slightly between several thousand square feet to a quarter acre, and most lots have enough space for backyard pools and a grill area. Often selling between $500,000 and $750,000, the area’s home prices are slightly lower than those in neighboring gated or country club communities. “The biggest draw is that homes here don’t have HOA fees and prices are more reasonable,” Nordquist says. Houses on larger lots often come with casitas, and these can fetch over $1 million.El Paseo is a world-class shopping destination
The neighborhood is in the heart of El Paseo Shopping District, which is often referred to as the “Rodeo Drive of the Desert,” featuring premier designer boutiques, eclectic restaurants, galleries and wine bars. Since 1987, Cactus Jack's Bar & Grill has been serving Coachella Valley with classic American fare. Locals often come here to have a burger and watch a sports game. With colorful décor and an outdoor patio, Fresh Agave Mexican Bar & Grill is a casual cantina serving Mexican food. Surrounded by big-box and grocery stores such as HomeGoods, Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s, The Shops at Palm Desert sits adjacent to the community and offers additional department stores, fashion retailers and restaurants.Community events and recreation opportunities at Palm Desert Civic Center Park
