About This Home

As of July 2025

ATTENTION INVESTORS! This is the one you have been waiting for. This triplex is up for sale with an identical one also for sale nextdoor(OC21157799); same owner for both. Would prefer to sell together. All units are the same floorplans. 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom with a 1 car attached garage. 2 units are connected only by the garages and 1 unit is a free standing detached home and all are separate electric & gas meters. Now is your opportunity to manage and operate 6 units in the growing and popular community of Joshua Tree. There is huge demand and an inventory shortage of rentals in the area. Or, you can convert it into a short term vacation rental with the appropriate permits. Demand is high for both types of rentals, or a combination of the 2. This complex is located just a few short miles from the park entrance and close to dining, shopping and entertainment. With nearly 800,000 acres of mystical beauty, Joshua Tree National Park is undoubtedly one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures. Annual attendance at the park has nearly doubled in the past several years to approximately 3 million visitors, making it the 11th most visited park in the country. Joshua Tree has many different visitors that come from all around the world to experience the hiking, the scenery, the beautiful and amazing desert sunsets, the incredible stargazing, and more. World famous Palm Springs is just a short drive down the hill. DON'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY to own a piece of this rapidly growing and exceedingly popular beauty in the desert. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS! All inspections, including septic, termite, and general building, are DONE AND CLEARED!
