Sunrise Palms is a welcoming place between the mountains and downt
California palm trees and prickly pear cacti take the place of grass lawns in the serene desert community of Sunrise Palms. Realtor Peter Lavin from Links Real Estate describes the town as a “Vibrant, well-kept, affordable, condominium-style community. It’s close to downtown Palm Springs and has all the amenities and beauty that the desert has to offer.” Wedged between the San Bernardino Mountain Range to the north and downtown Palm Springs to the south, people are drawn here for the neighborhood's welcoming atmosphere and relatively affordable housing. “Me Yah Whae” means “Hello!” in the native Cahuilla Indian Language. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians owns 10% of the land in Palm Springs, including most of the land in Sunrise Palms. The rich native history, combined with the large LGBTQ community, has given the area a distinctive artistic flavor and culture.
Mountain views and desert terrain shape the neighborhood feel
Single story Spanish Revival houses dot the streets of Sunrise Palms with their distinctive red tile roofs and roasted orange palette. There are also a few modern houses, whose lighter colors and minimalistic designs make them easy to identify against the abundant terra reds and earthly browns of the neighborhood. Plentiful garages combined with wide roads make the streets highly drivable. As residents walk across the extensive sidewalks of Sunrise Palms, they might be inspired by the panoramic San Bernardino Mountain Range that stretches across the sky. The imposing mountains contrast with the mostly flat desert landscape, which prevents the growth of tall trees. The median house price of Sunrise Palms is $325,000, less than half the median of the Palm Springs market. The land of the neighborhood is leased from the Cahuilla Indian Reservation, and the contract is set to expire in 2045. The Cahuilla Reservation can choose to renew the contract, renegotiate, or allow it to expire and assume control over the land and its properties. Smaller houses and simplistic architectural designs also contribute to significantly below-market prices.
Public schools earn solid ratings from Niche
Residents of the neighborhood enjoy the advantage of an excellent public school system, with nearby Palm Springs High School scoring an A minus on Niche. Local Vista Del Monte Elementary school and Raymond Cree Middle School score a B and B minus, respectively.
Local parks offer playgrounds, tennis courts and shade
Community members get exercise by hiking the mountain trails or taking a tour of the Palm Springs Wind Farm. Made famous by their appearance in Mission Impossible III, these imposing white turbines are close enough for residents to enjoy a tour, but far enough away that they can’t be heard. Homebuyers enjoy balmy winter days by exploring some of the local parks. Nearby Victoria Park has an abundance of something that is difficult to find elsewhere in the neighborhood: grass. The park also features shade cover and a well-kept playground. Larger Ruth Hardy Park has a playground, but people of all ages are attracted to its basketball court and eight lit tennis courts.
Local BBQ and easy access to downtown restaurants
Browns BBQ and Soul Food serves up savory southern cuisine like crispy fried chicken and barbeque pork ribs. Locals shop at Albertson’s Grocery Store, conveniently located less than a mile and a half away. Downtown Palm Springs, within 4 miles, offers diners many distinct flavors, like the bone-in pork chop from Bar Cecil or the spicy tuna tostada from Sandfish Sushi & Whiskey. Sun-dried colors and rainbow art adorn the outside of eclectic bars. Native totem poles and other tribal artwork decorate street corners.
Modernism week and Coachella highlight local creativity
Every February, residents celebrate modernism week in the downtown area, where over 100,000 attendees enjoy a festival highlighting modern art, architecture, fashion and culture. Nearby Coachella Valley is home to the famously surreal Coachella music festival, and many festival goers choose to lodge in Palm Springs.
