Year-round vacation living in Melody Ranch
Bordering California State Route 111 and just south of Palm Springs International Airport, Melody Ranch is a neighborhood on the south side of Palm Springs. Melody Ranch is named after a former hotel owned by Gene Autry. Today, the neighborhood includes the five-star hotel Parker Palm Springs and three other HOA communities. “This is for people who like the resort lifestyle,” says Peter Lavin, who is a real estate professional at Links Real Estate with 23 years of experience. Homeowners here enjoy abundant recreation opportunities, as well as access to lively cultural events and premier shopping destinations. “Many young people are moving here, and Palm Springs is more suited for the cosmopolitan crowd,” Lavin says.
Single-family condominiums in private communities
Melody Ranch is comprised of four communities, including the five-star hotel Parker Palm Springs, which was formerly California’s first Holiday Inn. The gated Seven Lakes Golf & Country Club features 1960s and 1970s midcentury modern homes centered around an 18-hole golf course, with pools and recreation venues scattered throughout. “It’s a wonderful country club community with single-family condos,” Lavin says. “But the HOA is very, very high, which can be prohibitive for some homeowners.” The Oasis Resort has Spanish-style condominiums, while Canyon Sands has residences spread across 33-acres of land. Both associations also have amenities such as swimming pools and tennis or pickleball courts. Homes in Seven Lakes usually start at around $550,000, and those with panoramic views of the golf course or recently remodeled units can top at $1.6 million. Residences in other communities are typically between $350,000 and $550,000. Homeowners may be cautioned that extreme heat in the area can cause property damage, such as foundation cracks or premature material aging. Meticulous maintenance may be needed, and home insurance is advised.

Recreational venues and public parks in Palm Springs
Open to both private members and the public, the 18-hole course at Seven Lakes is a big draw to golf enthusiasts. Sitting north of the community, the 61-acre Demuth Park features baseball diamonds, soccer fields, 12 pickleball courts, and tons of green space for walks. Also home to the park, the Demuth Park Community Center has a gym, a basketball court and recreational classes such as dance and yoga. Across the street is The Palm Springs Surf Club, featuring a waterpark and a surfing pool. “The surf club with the man-manmade surf pool is the newest addition to the area’s recreational scene,” Lavin says. “It’s a huge investment, but it’s really cool, and people spend a lot of time there in the summer.” The Araby Trailhead is located on the neighborhood’s southwest corner, and the 3-mile-long hiking trail offers spectacular views of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains.
