About Bermuda Dunes, CA

Resort-like golf community with low home prices for the Coachella Valley

About 20 miles east of Palm Springs, Bermuda Dunes is a golf community in the center of the Coachella Valley, right on Interstate 10. Originally developed in the 1960s, Bermuda Dunes first drew Hollywood stars like Clark Gable and Cary Grant with its namesake country club and year-round sunny weather. Today, young professionals and families continue to be attracted by the community’s signature golf course, as well as area-affordable prices. “Most people still work in hospitality here, but a lot of the new people are professionals looking for somewhere where their money can take them further,” explains Raquel Davalos, a Valley local and Realtor with RE/MAX Desert Properties. “Younger people are also starting to really enjoy all the golf courses we have in the Valley. It used to be that the Valley would cater to retirees, but now you see people in their 30s and 40s on the courses.”

Spanish Revival and 2020s modern homes on Bermuda Dunes' golf courses

As of early 2025, Bermuda Dunes’ median home price is $600,000, lower than Palm Springs’ $630,000. Home prices here rose rapidly during the COVID pandemic, but between 2024 and 2025, they dropped by an average of 9%. In the popular Bermuda Dunes Country Club , Spanish Revival homes and condos built between the 1980s and early 2000s sit just off the golf course’s greens and fairways. A wider variety of housing styles can be found in the subdevelopments outside the country club, including angular new construction from the 2020s and Santa Fe-style homes from the 2010s.

Interstate 10, SunLine Transit and Crown Aero

Interstate 10 runs along Bermuda Dunes’ northern edge, leading 20 miles west to Palm Springs and 6 miles east to Indio. Traffic on I-10 is generally light, but when the popular Coachella Music Festival comes to the region in April, the freeway is often heavily congested. Most SunLine Transit bus routes have stops in Bermuda Dunes, but locals still rely on cars to get around the Valley. Eisenhower Health Medical Center is 8 miles west in Rancho Mirage. Crown Aero is Bermuda Dunes’ own private airport, used by residents with their own planes, and the commercial Palm Springs International Airport is 16 miles west.

Served by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department

Bermuda Dunes is served by the Thermal Station of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. As of early 2025, there's no available crime data for Bermuda Dunes or the Thermal Station.
