Palm Springs has the strongest urban identity of any city in the Coachella Valley. Its downtown is walkable, active, and filled with restaurants, independent shops, galleries, hotels, and gathering places. The city is especially known for its midcentury modern architecture, from Alexander tract homes and William Krisel designs to landmark commercial buildings and restored boutique hotels. Neighborhoods such as Deepwell Estates, Vista Las Palmas, Twin Palms, and the Movie Colony each have a distinct look and history, making Palm Springs especially appealing to buyers who care about architecture and design.
Life here tends to be social, creative, and comfortably unconventional. Palm Springs has a large LGBTQ+ population, a long history as a Hollywood retreat, and a calendar that includes Modernism Week, the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Pride, and numerous arts and cultural events. Residents can spend the morning hiking in the Indian Canyons, have lunch downtown, and attend a gallery opening or live performance that evening. Compared with surrounding cities, Palm Springs feels more like a small resort city than a suburb, with a strong sense of personality and a community that generally welcomes people who want to live life on their own terms.
