Bocce ball, new playgrounds and tee time near Gene Autry
Just outside the community, Gateway Park provides walking paths and bocce courts, serving more as an urban park than a natural green space. Victoria Park is less than 2 miles away with more extensive recreational options, including a newly remodeled playground, open grassy areas and covered picnic tables. The Escena Golf Club, which is open to the public, features an 18-hole course layout by Nicklaus Design.

Palm Springs High School's academies provide dual college credit
The neighborhood falls under the Palm Springs Unified School District, and most local kids will start at Vista del Monte Elementary School, which gets a B-minus on Niche. They can move on to B-rated Raymond Cree Middle School before heading to A-minus-rated Palm Springs High School. Aside from the standard curriculum, Palm Springs High also has several academics, including the Academy of Business Leadership and Entrepreneurship and the Palm Springs Academy for Learning Medicine. These academies allow students real-world experience and dual college credit in different career fields.

Easy connection to Interstate 10 and near Palm Springs International Airport
Gene Autry is next to Palm Springs International Airport, which services several commercial airlines. While convenient for residents, noise from planes coming and going can be noticeable. State Route 111 borders the community's southside and connects to Interstate 10 in northern Palm Springs. A few bus stops operated by SunLine Transit are nearby on Route 111. Gene Autry is only 2 miles from the Desert Regional Medical Center and its surrounding medical plaza.Nearby retail shopping and exploring downtown Palm Springs
Sunrise Square Shopping Center and Palm Springs Market Place, less than a mile from the neighborhood, offer necessities for everyday shopping. Albertsons and Stater Bros. Markets sit alongside national chains like Walgreens and Dollar Tree, all clustered at the intersection of Route 111 and Sunrise Way. “It’s less than 10 minutes from downtown Palm Springs, which is just obviously a cool place to be. Awesome restaurants and shops, tons of live shows and galleries. There’s a tourist element, but I don’t think you really get tired of it.”

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.
