High desert living near Joshua Tree
Twentynine Palms is a sprawling High Desert community just north of Joshua Tree National Park. The area was first inhabited by Native Americans because there was a spring in the otherwise dry terrain. Gold prospectors who gave the city its current name came in the 1870s, and after World War I it was used to help soldiers recovering from respiratory ailments. Now it serves as a stopping point for tourists on their way to the national park as well as the home for thousands associated with the largest Marine Corps training base.

Spanish-inspired architecture designed to beat the heat
Residents live along sparse residential avenues with panoramic views of the Mojave Desert, often fringed by desert shrubs and towering palm trees. Twentynine Palms housing is comprised of single-family homes on deep lots that capitalize on the space afforded by the High Desert locale. Developers favored home styles that stood up to the area’s climate, including many variations of Spanish design. The styles’ distinctive stucco exteriors and the tile or flat roofing keep residents protected from the desert heat. Most Spanish homes in the area also feature expansive covered outdoor spaces to take in the stark beauty of the desert. Low-built structures like the mid-century modern and ranch styles equally distribute heat while providing expansive floor plans, with large windows taking advantage of natural light and conserving electricity. The median price is $265,000, which is lower than the national median. Prices tend to be driven by lot size rather than interior spaces or number of bedrooms. For example, a 2,300-square-foot Spanish-style home on 10 acres of land sold for $795,000 in 2022; alternatively, a 5,400-square-foot home on a half-acre lot sold for $525,000 that same year.
