Peaceful living at University Neighborhood
Located off Interstate 10 and quietly tucked away on the north side of Palm Desert, University Neighborhood is a small community almost entirely composed of new developments and subdivisions. The area also offers homebuyers proximity to the highway, country clubs and two higher education institutes. “University Neighborhood is a brand new area with quite a bit of building going on, and it’s probably just about halfway done,” says Fatima Nordquist, a real estate professional at Power Brokers International with 20 years of experience. “The big plus is it’s very close to the freeway, and it is up the hill so most homes are outside the wind belt.”
Newly developed homes by Interstate 10
At University Neighborhood, a mix of single-story and two-level homes sit close together on quiet streets. Architectural designs range from midcentury modern and contemporary to New Traditional with Mediterranean influence. Lots are moderate in size and average around 3,000 square feet, with just enough room for patios or a small garden. With relatively low monthly association fees, real estate prices are typically between $550,000 and $1 million, and properties that have five bedrooms or are over 3,000 square feet can reach $1.3 million. “Homes here have very small lots and are very close together,” Nordquist says. “It’s also why there are more two-story houses because there’s only so much space. These homes are more for the younger generations who don’t want to pay high HOA fees to live in country club communities.”
Mid-century modern-style homes can be found in the University Neighborhood.
Many homes in the University Neighborhood feature ample garage space.
