Palm Springs Real Estate
Incorporated 1938Pop. 45,731 « » Area 95.1 sq.mi.
The city of Palm Springs was incorporated in 1938 and has been known as “The Playground of the Stars.”
Palm Springs is home to approximately 44,000 residents year round, another 33,000 “snow birds” during the winter and more than 3,500,000 tourists visiting each year!
Movie stars are frequently attracted to the desert for its beautiful golf courses and wide variety of hotels and resorts that would suit anyone’s tastes.
The sun shines almost every day in Palm Springs! The climate and city’s reputation makes this desert oasis very attractive to the home buyer or the “snow bird.” Many investors flock to the area to purchase a “getaway” condo, town home or vacation rental home.
There is a variety of activities to choose from including shopping, the Aerial Tramway, water parks, horseback riding and many more.
This desert oasis is within close proximity to San Diego and Los Angeles, but far enough to feel like you are on vacation whether you live here daily or if you are truly just visiting.
