Palm Springs.

City orientation

A city, before a community.

Palm Springs is defined as much by its neighborhoods as by the city around them. Set on the western edge of the Coachella Valley beneath Mt. San Jacinto, the city combines a strong architectural identity with established residential districts, a downtown core, cultural amenities and access to the desert landscape. Mid-Century Modern architecture is especially associated with Palm Springs, but the city’s housing and neighborhood character extend well beyond a single style.

For a buyer, the more useful question is often not simply whether to choose Palm Springs, but which part of Palm Springs fits the property, setting and level of city access you want. That is where the community guides below begin.
