Country-club living in the Coachella Valley
Stunning views and world-class amenities make The Lakes one of the treasures of the Coachella Valley’s collection of resort communities. Founded in the early 1980s and named for the 23 freshwater lakes dotted throughout this gates community, The Lakes is much more than a golfing community; its offering of both cozy ranch-style homes and vast Spanish-style residences within a verdant community surrounded by nature brings out Palm Desert's greatest features.
An aerial view of The Lakes shows how much of a paradise the community really is.

Tall palm and shade trees populate the neighborhood and provide shelter to residents playing on the fairways.

Club life and outdoor exploration
Membership to The Lakes Country Club is complimentary for residents. Realtor Angela Caliger of Surterre Properties, who has sold several properties in this subdivision, says, “Living in The Lakes is like a built-in vacation. This very active community offers a newly renovated clubhouse and fitness center, 27 holes of golf, 44 pools, tennis, pickleball, pop tennis, bocce ball, two dog parks, and many more amenities. There are clubs and get-togethers to satisfy all different interests.” Locals can play through one of the club’s three golf courses with panoramic views of the Santa Rosa Mountains and any one of the freshwater lakes on the property. Afterwards, they can head over to one of the club’s quality athletic facilities and later to its top-notch dining halls. Residents will also have plenty of opportunities outside The Lakes to connect with nature. The Civic Center Park is the largest in Palm Desert, with several public art installations and space to host musicians and public speakers.
