Contemporary architecture with traditional elements
This is one of the newest neighborhoods in Palm Springs. Built in the early 2000s, the homes have contemporary designs with Spanish-inspired elements, like tile roofs and stucco exteriors. They stand along curved streets with manicured lawns, and most properties have spacious backyards with patios. Homebuyers can own the land here, as opposed to leasing the lot. “People come for the low HOA dues; we’re the lowest in the city. The amenities are a big draw, and we’re right off Palm Canyon Drive,” says Carol Appel, a real estate agent with HomeSmart with almost two decades of experience and a Mountain Gate resident. “The homes are built well, and there are a lot of floor plans. They’re big and very livable. People get a lot for their money, and it’s a very friendly and helpful community. There’s at least one party a month and a social club with a great mix of people.” Houses sell for a median price of $770,000 after about 50 days. The full price range begins around $500,000 and continues to just north of $800,000.
