Candlewood Villas is becoming a sought-after suburb

Candlewood Villas presents a residential landscape synonymous with the Coachella Valley and sits along the Cathedral City's hub for shopping and dining. "The are was once a bedroom community that people are now growing into as prices in Palm Springs have increased," says David Whittier, Realtor with Re/Max Desert Properties and resident. "It's a great community with easy access to the 10." Residents are also close to Palm Springs International Airport and a robust list of nearby recreational amenities.

Spanish inspired homes and vacation rental opportunities

Contemporary ranch-style homes featuring Spanish influences, such as clay-tile roofs and stucco exteriors line residential streets. These properties sit on half-acre lots, and many come with an in-ground pool. Build dates stretch from the 1980s through the early 2000s, while prices typically range from $400,000 to $700,000 for a larger, recently renovated property. Homebuyers will also find condos in the gated Cathedral Springs subdivision in the northwestern corner. These units typically fall around $300,000 and come with homeowners association fees for amenities like community pools and pickleball courts. “There tend to be a lot of snowbirds that come to Cathedral City during the summer months,” Whittier says. The city allows homeowners within Short-Term Vacation Rentals (STVR) communities to rent out their property for 30 or fewer consecutive days of renting. “The city does this to keep home prices down versus people running them as a full-time business,” says Whittier. Those interested learn more about the ordinance on the city’s website.

The recreational opportunities of Cathedral City and Palm Springs

Short trips lead to Cimarron Golf Resort’s pair of courses just west of the community. Visitors of Ocotillo Park on Moreno Road practice tricks across its namesake skate park and climb about its several playgrounds. Big League Dreams on Date Palm Drive keeps busy with youth sports practices throughout the week and fills for weekend tournaments. Residents can also try their luck at Agua Caliente Casino 4 miles south or hop on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway 11 miles west. “The tram is huge here,” Whittier says. “In the middle of summer, when it's 120 degrees, I will take the tram up the mountain where it’s much cooler. On a clear day, you can see all the way down to the Salton Sea from the observatory.”
